Wow seriously? You guys are afraid of spiders? I love the little guys. Only ones I kill are Black widows, much like the one that killed the snake there. Spiders actually kill and eat the really nasty bugs, so I like to keep em around.

And btw, the daddy long legs is not very poisonous. That is a common tall tale. Helpful article: Daddy long legs,

Interestingly enough, I didn't know that. However it turns out I was speaking of huntsman spiders which appear even less ferocious than daddy long legs. But my research has left me with granddaddy longlegs, daddy longlegs, and huntsman, all of which seem almost interchangeable depending on where you live.

These are the ones I grew up with and never minded: http://www.backyardnature.net/longlegs.htm

Every other spider dies a hard death around me, usually smashed with a shoe or flat object, then put in a paper towel or toilet paper and squished, then flushed.

Here is the reason I hate spiders..

I went with my girlfriend to my cottage in Northern Wisconsin for a nice weekend. It had been a couple weeks since we had been there and the place is pretty rickety and old, but its one of my favorite places in the world. Anyway, I was trying to get soem lighter fluid, and when I went to reach up and grab the can, a giant Wolf Spider was chilling right on the ledge. Needless to say, I flipped shit. I ran and got the RAID, and Sprayed it.....to no effect. Again with the Raid...again no effect. I figured third times the charm...no luck, it still was moving and looking around. (This was about 5 mins between sprays). Finally I decided that I had enough of the demon spider, and using a broom, flicked it out a window. I proceeded to chase it outside and using a Zippo and the can of raid, BBQ'ed the little bastard. It spent about 3 minutes crawling around, crackling and popping before it died. I had defeated the Demon Spider, but it has forever freaked me out since.

I wouldn't recommend burning spiders. The little shits tend to run off while ablaze and can have a nasty tendency to light other things before they buy the farm.

It was either that or nuke it from orbit, the only OTHER way to be sure...

    • jelly3384's application for Enlistment Form Questions Name you wish to use and Age: (Our unit uses realistic names, this does not have to be your real name) Pigeon, 16 Platform Type Epic Games Store Steam ID (Use 17 Digit SteamID 64 / PC Game Pass Account Username): Pigeon_theft   Do you have a microphone? Yes   Which game title are you applying for? Hell Let Loose   If you've selected Hell Let Loose, do you understand that this game is currently not cross platform capable and only PC players currently may apply? ( Steam or PC Game Pass) Yes   Why do you wish to join the 1st Marine Raiders? I've played BFV and milsimed in it, and it was a lot more fun when I milsimed. and I enjoy playing HLL, so I think it is going to be more fun when I join.   Did any of our current members play a part in you enlisting? If so, who? If none, how did you learn about us: I found you guys from a website called disboard when looking for HLL milsim groups to join.   This unit offers more than just a place to play games with each other, do you have any online skills you think would be useful? no   Do you have any Leadership experience that you think will be helpful? I'm not sure if it will be helpfull,but I used to be in BFV milsim groups and in my last one I got to [E-7] out of [E-1] to [O-8], so I was a NCO and I helped the officers with whatever they needed doing, weather it was assisting with training, settling disputes or helping them decide what was appropriate disciplinary action. And when we were in combat I was usually assigned to lead my own squad.   Have you ever been in a realism unit before, and if so, which unit was it? yes. I was in quite a few BFV milsim groups, although I was only in one at any given time. unfortunately, I have left the discord servers and I do not remember the names of them. if you would like, I could probably give a reference to someone who was an officer in most of the groups I was in.   By posting this Enlistment form, I acknowledge the instructions completely, declare that I am 16 years old or older, and agree that I have and will follow server and unit rules maturely and respectfully or face immediate rejection.
