Oh, cool - I thought the credit card was being charged because they were claiming we we hadn't met some sort of minimum. That's how the initial post read.
When a fucking spider is too damned big to climb out of a sink, said spider is too big. Gah.
They are not - repeat, not - cuddly. They are carnivorous, predatory, and hunt birds, and eat them.
They're insects (edit: or not - are arachnids insects? Do I care? They're bugs, damnit!), and they hunt and eat birds.
Like I say, I try not to kill anything that isn't immediately threatening me, but if one of those gets loose around me, I'm beating it to death. Period.
They're insects (edit: or not - are arachnids insects? Do I care? They're bugs, damnit!)
I *know* you don't care, but no. Arachnids are not insects.
Yeah, he was doing pretty well on tips. I tossed a buck in the tip jar for every drink I had.
Heh. Sean, that's why I edited. I know they aren't insects.
In my eyes, however? They're BUGS.
And bugs do not eat birds. That's backassward.
I may be alone in thinking that at that size they start to look kind of cuddly.
Gah! Gah! Not cuddly! Gah! Must die a firey death, far away from me! Gah!
I think I spent about $25 at the bar.
Maybe that's the number for how far above the minimum we went?
That sounds more like it.
There are spiders that can eat BIRDS?
That's just wrong. Things with exoskeletons shouldn't be able to devour things with endoskeletons (is that a word?). It's against Nature and violates the Circle of Life. Wrong like a wrong thing.
(And now watch billytea cite a dozen examples where it happens.)
Susan is so much me today that I think we've discovered a part of us that was separated at birth.
Things with eight legs and chitin on them should not hunt and eat mammals. That's the stuff of nightmare.
That's the stuff of nightmare.
Though kind of funny, in a mouse-that-roared sense.
I saw a bird chasing a cicada today -- while both were flying. It was the funniest damn thing I've seen in a long time.
