Yeah, I'm with Sylphas there.

EDIT: Hmm, smiley failure. There we go.

Reminds me of the time when a spider the size of my fist crawled down the wall next to my brother's head.. I told him to look in the direction of the spider.. and man.. did he scream, but the idiot let the damn thing live in the couch for like a week.. (yes, it was so big that it took the couch hostage)

Poor Sylphas.

There was a big huntsman on the roof in my lounge room one day, and I was lying on the couch in the dark watching the most boring movie I've ever started watching. I looked up on the roof (about five metres across the room, it was) every so often, and one time when I looked up, it had moved across the room. So I kept an eye on it, and it disappeared about half an hour into the movie.

I have really long hair, and occasionally fringey bits about the length of my face, and I kept brushing it back from my face (which was leaning against one of the arms of the couch). And I saw my hair fall again, so I lifted my hand (again) and brushed it back, only what I thought was my hair kept moving (less than 10 cm away from my eye) and I freaked out and jumped up, cause I'd just found the spider again. Needless to say, I didn't finish watching that movie (Adaptation, I think it was. Something about a writer with Nicholas Cage in it).


Then there was the time the UGLIEST goddamned spider I have EVER seen appeared on the roof of the room I shared with my little sister. Earlier that day, my brother had noticed spraypoint on the road at the top of the street, saying ROCK SPIDER IN 17. Our house was number 17, obviously. So that afternoon, after school, I walked in my room and looked up (as I often do for no reason). There was this MONSTROUS spider on the roof, about the size of my hand and then half again, and it had a really fat, hairy body and fat legs.

Needless to say, my little sister was terrified, and I was very leery of going into my room that afternoon. Eventually, we tried to kill it with bugspray, sprayed half a can at it, but it just dropped on the end of my sister's bed (which she was in). She screamed, spider started running around (very quickly) and we sprayed it some more, but it wouldn't stop or die, so my brother came in (when it was running over my sister's discarded slipper) and jumped on it. Several times. Back in these days, he weighed about 80kg. And had big heavy boots on. So we figured it was dead, and chucked the slipper (spider still on it) into the laundry, on the washing machine.


Now... we're not sure if my cat played with it (I doubt she did, it woulda stunk of bugspray) but somehow, the next morning it had managed to crawl all the way into the slipper (my sister has big feet, and it was originally on the end) so we were kinda scared and sucked it up in the vacuum cleaner.

We tried to find out what the spider was over the net, but couldn't find any pictures of spiders that looked like it.

Edited for lack of smileyness!

It could've been yet undiscovered species. And you killed it...

Damn straight I did. It was the ugliest spider I've ever seen, and the damn fastest.

And I mean, I've seen a damned HUGE one in the bush, crawling all over someone else's stuff. *snickers*

that spider had three days left till retirement!

Pssssht.

I remember the spider that I had to step on 3 times to kill. I could FEEL it through my shoe?! It just wouldn't die! And I was afraid to clean up the dead bug, because I thought it was still alive.. and it was going to get revenge on me.. o_o

I couldn't have stepped on this on if I'd tried. Too big for my leetle feet O_o

Get a shovel or something, flip it into a bucket full of bleach. Or lye. Watch it die from massive chemical burns.

Dude... I have to try that with something... I always wanted to try doing the kiss thing from fight club after my brother heated a shuriken and branded the shape on his arm... but I thought it would be too cliche now from the movie and all that.

My best friend in primary school's brother got in the local newspaper, front page.

Blew his hand up in his backyard with a home made pipe bomb. Lost all the skin, gangrene, eww, yucky. That was years ago, I don't remember what else happened now, though.

I just beat my dogs with a flip flop for making me chase them down my block in my pjs.

:| Joli is an animal abuser! Call the RSPCA!

Flip flops don't hurt as much as I want them too! And if some animal made you chase it down while wearing a bra you'd beat its with a shoe too!?

I'm an animal, chase ME down in a bra and panties and spank me too!

woooo

No I don't think I've ever hit an animal. As much as my cat pisses me off by walking all over the keyboard when I'm using it, I've never acted on my urge to throw her across the room either.

I was wearing pjs..

...Murph is scaring me.

Perve.

me??

and the flip flops didn't hurt them. They were the really cheap flimsy kind that bend real easy.. I only did it because they ran off yesterday and I didn't punish them, so now they did it again.. so they get spankings.
