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...

    • So, to address this concerning issue for a 3rd time now. We have previously told you we DO NOT tolerate the behavior you have disgustingly displayed within our server. I will however state I'm absolutely THRILLED to hear you've learned your lesson and now know that acting the way you did was indeed wrong in every aspect. Thats great but unfortunately isn't a factor that will change my mind on the matter as you were told before. If you don't remember what was said to you previously that's A-OKAY!! Because I have graciously provided you with the response you were given previously by our MP chief at the time of your last unban request. I want to say it takes a man to admit he's wrong but unfortunately, we both know this situation should've never have happened to begin with. So, with that being said I am hereby stating your ban will stay as a PERMANENT ban and will not change in the seeable future by any means. Thank you for reaching out to us and know I'm happy as ever to hear you've learned your lesson but as I stated above that doesn't clear you of your actions nor does it make me forget on how YOU chose to act that day as a guest within our servers.  Perma Ban stays in full effect. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause for you. We thank you again for reaching out to us once again. Signed, 2ndLt. S. Belcher 1-A/CO Platoon Commander   Unban Request __ Pfc. A. Sheffer _8th ID_ - Day of Defeat_ Source - 1st Marine Raiders.html
