Well I sure have killed a lot of spiders... Should I consider them "sacrificed"? And if so, what has it not worked??!!:oops:

[Tomlin]

Well, if the guy that told me the following wasnt pulling my leg, it's a belief in Ireland that spiders are a good thing, and right as I was freaking out one morning after looking down and discovering one on my leg, he said not to kill it because it was a 'money spider'. However, Ive killed many a spider, and no bad luck has come my way!

When I kill spiders.... It rains... If that is what truly happens, then it would always rain at Bob's House.. Trust me.. Dude is being infiltrated by Spides....

It's a grand thing I dont live at Bob's, because I would have a crap fit. Hate spiders. I killed (well, the neighbor and I) killed a cotton mouth yesterday that was lying right in the path that I walk the dog. That, I am sure of, brought the whole neighborhood good luck, seeing as it's a viper. Hated to do it, but it's too risky for all the kids and pets in the area.

Well if that was true I would be living in a house boat or treading water.. It has not rained here proper in months... Very dry.... So my killing the critters has not had that effect....

Sorry Gez, to carry it further...Hey look at it this way- When the pit isnt going as planned, we can talk about killing stuff to make us feel better (or worse)!

Back in 2004 when I travelled to Ireland, I was traveling from Kerry up to Clare and while on the bus, I had the pleasure of meeting and eventually sharing a seat with a man who knew quite a bit about the route we were traveling and if youve ever seen the roads in Ireland, you'll know how the bushes on the roadside scrape down the sides of the busses. Anyhow, as we were driving and passing the bushes I had a thought run thru my head. "Hmm...I wonder if there's spiders here in Ireland?". So, I asked him. He just stared at me for a moment, and then said, 'Why do you ask? I hate the *$%*@#$%!" I explained that I was terribly afraid of the larger ones and he confided that he shared my fear. You see, I asked because I saw the bushes and wondered if they were in the bushes like bannana spiders are here in the SE USA and I also had no idea what the dorm or cottage that I was to be staying in would look like (hence, wondering if spiders lived in Ireland). Funny how spiders, being so small, can hold so much power over a person with a fear of them. t.t.t.t.t.t.t.t (shaking my head) :-)

To add to your fears Eric..... Yuk, yuk, yuk.... :p The average human, accidentally eats 8 spiders a year while sleeping.

Gee, I wonder how many Bob eats :)

Fortunately unless he is sleeping in the sim, probably none. LMAO! They seem to reside in the basement only there.

How about that massive spider web that they found in Texas last week..... apparently the work of millions of the little critters.

Aren't you glad you don't live by the park? :-)

[Bob Reed]

Ok guys.. You are starting to creep me out... Where is my shop vac???!!!!!! I must arm myself!!!!

[Trevor Hale]

Wait Bob.... I am sure I can find just the right helmet around... You can't go into battle without your trusty helmet!

Now where did I put it...?

[AndyT]

Many people suffer from some degree of Arachnaphobia. Me included. I have a flame thrower for just such occasions.

When doing your preflight in a real plane, look for the little buggers as part of your checklist. Its no fun when your at 500 AGL on final and a hairy critter crawls across the flaps switch.....

Tower, Have the fire truck standing by, I have a spider....

Can we change the subject now?

Clunk... Thanks dude, I needed that!!! Now I am ready!!! Trouble is everything seems to be at a funny angle now.........:lol:
