holy cow that's freaky.
oddly enough a cricket just started chirping somewhere in my house.
Hmm. It's sounds like the finest party I can imagine getting paid to go to.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
SO NOT FINE.
Spiders are superfine.
Actually, I'm not keen on them in person either. (Have you seen our spiders? [link] I get over it, because they're just so cool. But arachnophobia is quite comprehensible to me. (I trust it's obvious that arachnophobes should not be clicking on my link.)
OTOH, I have pretty much zero fear of snakes, who are actually more dangerous.

I considered having a tarantula as a pet.

Have you seen our spiders?
Wasn't it the funnel web spider that Peter Jackson used as one of the main inspirations for Shelob?
Wow, this turned into the anti-Jilli thread fast.

Heh. I don't really have a snake fear either, but I give them a healthy respect (and as much distance or interposing glass as I can muster).

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
See, I like spiders when they DON'T COME FROM THE FREAKY CONTINENT OF FREAKY FREAKASSED FREAK SPIDERS. But that funnel-web thingie? It's allowed to be 5 cm long or deadly poisonous. But its insistence being both at once is just showing off.

re: billy's spider link (which I did not click on)
Hubby wanted me to say that when he lived in Hawaii in the 70s, his mother once thought a spider on the wall was a clock. Hubby was also once caught in a spider web that was strung between two banana trees. He was 11 at the time, but still.
edit: I also just handed him the rest of my dinner, because his glee in telling the tale made me lose my appetite.
