Oh Dear God!

JUST when we thought we were safe from those motherfucking snakes on this motherfucking plane...

Why do I have a sinking feeling that this one is going to star Gabrielle Union?

I wish there'd been a volume control. . . .

oh my god.

This is basically my two biggest phobias combined into one.

I ain't keen on the 8-legged terrors, either

Ayup. I pointed out to the wife that at least the odds were against the pilot and co-pilot being dressed as clowns. She didn't think I was at all funny.

"Who brings tarantulas on a plane? I can't even bring a full bottle of shampoo!"
^fact.
But seriously...no. I like to be barefoot literally whenever possible, and just no. Crawling up her, no! No no, no no no.

 

[lovecraft68]

Snakes? No worries

Tarantulas? No worries.

There is only one thing in this world that freaks me out and make me want to run the other way:

Centipedes, fair warning on whether or not you want to click that attachment because I shuddered just googling the pic.

The last one of those I saw in my house I heroically...threw the cat at it.

I went to a pet expo once where they had one those enormous ones from Brazil or somewhere down there that is big enough to eat a bird, my daughter said I turned white as a ghost.

 

[barefootgirl69]

My biggest fear is spiders.

They are nasty looking creatures.

If that were my leg, I doubt I'd even be able to talk about it, if I survived.

With you on centipedes, LC. There's a video around of a centipede eating a mouse that gives me the heebie-jeebies.

How about spiders that look like clowns? I find these more beautiful than scary, but as always with spiders, tastes will differ.

I've seen it, know how? My daughter sent me an e-mail with a link titled "You have to see this!" Little creep.

But as my wife said, I made that.

Spiders don't phase me at all. At that same pet expo you could let a tarantula walk on you, which I did and a scorpion which I did(of course all these critters are de-venomed)

A friend that was with me was trying to dare me to let the centipede walk on me I told him I'd rather fuck my ex wife than touch that thing.

 

[HandsInTheDark]

Despite the creepy looks, the only way they can kill you is by scaring you to death.

 

[Carnal_Flower]

And that would be a distinct possibility if one of those things crawled on me

How does one de-venom either of them ?
and how long before a fresh batch is available to the critter ?

I think-don't hold me to this-the venom is stored in sacs in the spider not sure on the others. But no way could they let people handle these things with them still being able to juice you.

The tarantella tickled, the scorpion felt strange like someone lightly poking you with little needles, that's what its legs/feet whatever felt on my arm.

As for the centipede no idea, they sting, but in addition to that secrete some form of acid to dissolve their food then slurp it up....shudders

Holy Mother of God. I can never fly again. Thank you for that. Lovecraft, I'll take a centipede over a spider any day. Even a centipede that can eat a mouse. I can still run backwards faster than it can advance. My biggest phobia is spiders, a mistake in creation and God knows it because look - he never tried the eight legged thing again with any other species. If a spider bigger than the palm of a baby's hand invades my house - I assure you, it can keep it, I will leave. Running and screaming. They are to be killed, dismembered, burnt, their houses set alight and their children burnt to death as well.

My wife's afraid of spiders as well.

Tell you what, for all you arachnophobia types.

The palm of your hand?

Florida has banana spiders that look like something out of a scifi/horror movie. Some of them have bodies the size of footballs and you see one of them scuttling towards you it is not pretty.

My brother in law has cousins down in inverness Florida which is right on the swamp and when we went to visit them we saw a few of those things. They're so big that when he sees one getting close to the house he shoots them, because they're almost as big as his little dog.

I shot one when I was down there and.....you do not want to see the mess it makes when it explodes

I know the enemy well, this correct, they have venom sacs just like scorpions and venomous snakes. The constrictors normally have some kind of disolving fluid in their saliva, but this is also found in other snakes and in spiders. They're fond of turning their victims' insides to mush to suck it out.

4.5 Billion women can't be wrong.

The palm of a baby's hand, one inch, no more.

Dear God, good thing I'm not there, I won't hestitate to sacrifice your brother's dog.

Apparently in Brazil or some other Godforsaken rainforest there is a beast called a monkey spider, as big as a dinner plate and it flies (jumps, but very far, almost flying). I can handle Amrmageddon, just keep Brazil out of it.

 

[Handley_Page]

I'm told that in Colombia there is a giant spider the size of a small dog.
I don't even want to think about pictures of 'em.

It is my opinion, after much study and reflection, that South America and Florida, and possibly Australia should be cordoned off from the rest of the world by a very high wall. Building said wall will commence immediately once I come to power.

Behold The South American Goliath Birdeater.

"Piotr Naskrecki was taking a nighttime walk in a rainforest in Guyana, when he heard rustling as if something were creeping underfoot. When he turned on his flashlight, he expected to see a small mammal, such as a possum or a rat.

"When I turned on the light, I couldn't quite understand what I was seeing," said Naskrecki, an entomologist and photographer at Harvard University's Museum of Comparative Zoology.

A moment later, he realized he was looking not at a brown, furry mammal, but an enormous, puppy-size spider."

"The birdeater's enormous size is evident from the sounds it makes. "Its feet have hardened tips and claws that produce a very distinct, clicking sound, not unlike that of a horse's hooves hitting the ground," he wrote, but "not as loud."

It also sports a pair of 2-inch-long fangs.

lol

We must be separated at birth. I say the same thing all the time. Esp Australia, land of every horror species, no offense to Australians.

If I had a choice of having to deal with the birdeating spider of the mouse eating centipede I'm going spider all day long.

Funny how everyone's phobias are so different.

 

[Carnal_Flower]

I can sort of see your point. The only thing that comes anywhere close to a spider is a (shudder) silverfish. Disgusting things!!!

Silverfish, and any other bugs, insects, ticks etc...no problem.
Snakes, lizards, frogs, scorpions...total okay.
Small rodents...adorable.
Arachnids...absolutely fucking not.

Be quiet woman! What the Australians haven't figured out yet is that their continent is trying to kill them. Once they cotton on to that fact we'll have do deal with 22 million more refugees. How's that wall coming along Trump?
