*CRIES* and AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

[stoney321]

Thanks SO MUCH, anelith!! Nightmares for WEEKS.

DO NOT CLICK IF BIG GIANT SPIDERS SCARE YOU. I AM NOT JOKING. Do not even think you can be mad at me if you click.

....you're totally going to click aren't you? (This makes me think of "There's a Monster at the End of This Book!" with my pal Grover.)

THAT, my friends, was what spun a web outside my front door, wanting to catch my FACE and EAT IT.

Yeah, I totally clicked that despite my deep abiding arachniphobia. If that was outside my front door I would NEVER LEAVE MY HOUSE AGAIN. You're braver than me.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

*CLINGS!*

Waaaaaaaaah!! Isn't that awful??? I never thought of one eating a BIRD. Poor little thing. :(

[lettered.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry for your face. But that *is* a really cool spider!

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

It is cool IN THEORY. When you have to limbo underneath its web to keep it from stabbing your eyes out and shooting a sac of eggs in the bleeding hole, it's not so cool.

(hahaha, melodrama, huh?)

[jerusha]

AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I am going to make my boyfriend promise to lay down his life in my defense against that thing or any other spider like it. Otherwise, all bets are off.

I may be a feminist, but I expect protection from nasty things like that.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

I MEAN ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?!??!

Those pictures make my non-existant prehensile tail curl over my butt. WAAAAAH!

[dusty273.livejournal.com]

Good Lord, I had never seen something like that. *shudders*

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Me, neither!! Not a poor, pretty BIRDY!! :(

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

Ew. But also... Interesting. Must be some seriously strong web that spider spins... Hmm.... But ew. I would not like that around my house, thank you very much.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Now, I'm a biologist. I appreciate their importance, their engineering, all of that.

BUT IT COULD LEAP ON YOUR FACE. Climb up your nostril and lay its babies in your sinus cavity, then your skull would explode with baby spiders! *cries and cries and cries*

[lawperry.livejournal.com]

We leave all our Golden Orb Weavers up in the yard (except the ones who weave on our porch) and name them all Ursula. LOL

I had no idea they could *ever* grow *that* big. Dang!!! Birds??

I'm seriously impressed. Except for your head part. That would be unfortunate; you're pretty - as evidenced by your pic the other day! And funny, too!

I'd miss you. But I'd still be impressed by the spider. :::snerk and poke:::

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

They get MASSIVE here, but I've never seen that!! Then again, we have raptors and Great Horned owls, so maybe they've trained the spiders to stick to bugs...

I would miss being missed! (LOL) hogod, do not let the sharp pointy hungry spider eat my face meat....

*herds them all to your front door* ;)

[tricksterquinn.livejournal.com]

I hate you so much. You know us so well.

Though I admit that was sort of REALLY COOL. As was the mouse killing the viper (and I like snakes but not spiders, so who knows?)

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

I SAID NOT TO CLICK!!!!

I've nto seen the mouse killing the viper! Was it all Riki Tiki Tavy getting rid of the cobra? ;)

[kwizbit.livejournal.com]

OMG wtf, did we not just have this conversation this morning? I thought you were going to put those scarecrow tarantulas up to drive these things away! GAH!

How did you get rid of it??? The thing eats BIRDS for godsakes!!

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

I KNOW!! I was sent an email by a very close friend, even! And I had to share with others, because it lessens my pain.

I KNOW!! Shotgun?

[that_mireille]

Holy cow. You know, this is why I like living in a cold climate: fewer CREEPY THINGS THAT WILL EAT YOUR EYEBALLS.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

I will never ever ever ever ever ever go to the Amazon rainforest. No matter how many fantastic things I'm fascinated by that exist there, I prefer discovering things in a laboratory, NOT by them leaping onto my flesh.

[soundingsea.livejournal.com]

I am SO not going to click. Ugh, spiders. *shudder*

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

DO NOT.

Seriously. Say, how 'bout that weather? Just right for pumpkin butter, eh? ;)

[chantal87.livejournal.com]

Damn it, L!
My Aunt had a big freakin' spider from hell in her garden. He had a humming bird trapped in the web. My Uncle saved the bird before the spider got to it.
Sometimes nature just fucks my shit up.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Oh, poor hummer!! I'm so glad it was saved from the jaws of death!

[bu-doodlebug.livejournal.com]

This was my thought process:

"Eh. I'm okay with spiders. Little ones. Sometimes. I'm tough. I can handle it." *click* "OMG."

Poor bird. You should buy a shotgun. I am. Good for spiders AND zombies.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

YEAH. That is a DEATH SPIDER. J, those spin webs across my fron porch EVERY YEAR. *cries*

I have a shotgun, rifle, semi, and four handguns. (Where do you think they got all the weaponry for Blood on the Highway? *G*)

[heather-berry78.livejournal.com]

HOLY CRAP!

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

I KNOW!!!

[thebratqueen.livejournal.com]

HOLY MOTHER OF ALL THINGS WHY DOES GOD HATE US?????

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

PROBABLY BECAUSE OF SOMETHING YOU DID!!

UNDO IT! UNDO IT!

[chosen0112.livejournal.com]

Y'know what scares me more than that spider? It comes from Queensland Australia. WHERE I AM.
Eeep.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

IT'S CALLING FROM INSIDE YOUR HOUSE!!!!

(We have them here in Texas, too. Then again, Texas is just Australia with a different accent. *G*)

[crevette.livejournal.com]

I WILL NEVER SLEEP AGAIN.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

CONSTANT VIGILANCE!!

(Take two bricks to bed. One for your face, the other for your husband's. It pays to be prepared!)

[siapom.livejournal.com]

I would never leave my room. The other rooms might be too close to the front door, and it could sneak in on the wind when someone else came in... *shudders*

And that poor birdie! :(

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

I am sad for the birdie, too! :(

[dampersnspoons.livejournal.com]

I took this picture of your hand (http://nwbirding.com/Trips/costa%20rica03%20pic/golden%20orb%20weaver.jpg) while you were sleeping last night. Think he'll come back this evening?

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

I FUCKING HATE YOU BETH.

Why do you hate me so much? I've been nothing but good to you. Except for when I threatened to flush your Barbies down the toilet.

[wolfshark]

AAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!


*pantpantpant*

*sobs* Why did I click????

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

I don't know!!! I told you not to click!!! *cries with you*

[ruthless1.livejournal.com]

I didn't click.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

*crowns you with the I Am Smart tiara of wisdom!*

[ellid.livejournal.com]

Jesus H. CHRIST. That thing is ENORMOUS!

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

i mean, it's no clocky, but I don't want this on my wall, either. YIPES.

[paperdoll156.livejournal.com]

Holy fuck! Here I was thinking that the tarantula outside my house was huge!

I understand the fear of giant spiders eating your face. Ever since I was little, I've had nightmares of plate size spiders coming down from the ceiling of my bedroom. I always wake up as soon as their first leg touches my face.

Ngh..sorry. *cringes*

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

*ptes pets pets* :(((( Those are TERRIBLE dreams, poor baby!!

[timba.livejournal.com]

I am NOT going to click, but I am sorry that you had (what I am assuming) is a giant person-eating spider outside your house today.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Not this summer, thank goodness! But they'll be back next year. *cries*

(Smart girl for not clicking!!)

[samsom.livejournal.com]

Why did I click? Why did I click? Why? Why? Why?

*stomps feet and shudders and shudders and shudders*

Why didn't someone put that poor birdy out of its misery? Like in the Last of the Mohicans when the English soldier takes Cora's place getting burned alive and Hawkeye shoots him to put him out of his misery? *sobs*

Poor little birdy. :(

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

I was able to read the article with my hand over the picture - the bird was dead, so it wasn't sitting trapped, struggling, if that helps any.

(And hahahaha! If it *had* been, the Last of the Mohicans scenario DEF. should have happened! *starts the dramatic violin interlude*)

[xochitl42.livejournal.com]

I LIVE IN QUEENSLAND!

(Nowhere near that far north, but GAH!)

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

BE EVER VIGILANT!!!!!

*frets*
