The AH Coffee Shop and Reading Room 04: Come On In

[oggbashan]

When I lived in Australia where some spiders are seriously dangerous. any spider entering our house was squashed with a long-handled sledge hammer.

(Wanders in hoping for some of Pixie's strong Turkish coffee and a piece of baklava for morning tea. Not seeing any, grabs a mug of TX 's evening coffee and a donut. Heads back to the office to deal with the auditors requests.)

Gawd, it's been a crazy week (or two). Making the move to an apartment, separating possessions, losing out on job and realizing it was for the better and resetting priorities. I'd like some Turkish high-test please.

I could do with a pot or two of coffee right now; once again, for the second time in 2 weeks, a 24-hour stint in OR has just come to an end, my locum team finally showed up from Marseille, so I closed Trauma 1 and poured myself into the break-room, where the coffee tastes like it's been boiled in an old sock, so a mug of your best paint-stripper please, Tex.

I remember watching this one video where a guys trying to catch a Huntsman spider I think on his ceiling and it just completely jumps on his face.

No paint has been harmed in the making of my coffee, ever.

He needs weaponized coffee, sounds like. The kind that’ll float a slowly dissolving horseshoe.

Ah, like grandma used to make. Good times...

Those huntsman spiders can get HUGE. Wouldn't want one of those in my house either.

Some days I wished I liked coffee, this is one of them. I need to jump start my brain or give up on that happening and just take a nap.

That description reminds me of the stuff I had in Hospital . . . .
It sounds as if you could better use some of that 'Black Rifle' stuff Chloe mentions.
Good Luck anyway.

Yer average English spider tends not to be too large (as in "Dinner plate" size), but a mature English ' House Spider ' can be five inches front-to-back on her web (ie, not squashed). One of considerable size walked swiftly along my keyboard the other night; I was not impressed. . . .

Any Tea left please ?
It's late and coffee will do me no favours.

I think the one I had this morning was more like 4-4.5 inches, but that was still on the large side for the ones we usually have around here. Generally those stay in the 1-2 inch range.

Otoh, there's this: https://www.livescience.com/brown-recluse-ear.html

Brown recluse spiders, a venomous variety native to the South and Midwest, earn their name for their tendency to tuck themselves in hidden nooks and crannies. Still, when Susie Torres of Kansas City, Missouri, took herself to the doctor's office for a "swishing sound" that wouldn't go away, she didn't expect that one of these eight legged creatures had made itself at home in her ear.

I'd rather my spiders be large and visible...

They eat the bad spiders, though.

I get along fine with huntsmen as long as they don't startle me. Unexpected huntsman hiding under the sunshade in a car isn't great for my driving.

I’ll make him a pot - guaranteed to strip the enamel from your teeth

Raid. I’d stand well back and spray with Raid. Sometimes the patient dies, but if it’s a spider..

So he gets a pot, but my teeth get stripped?

Doggone it Chloe, my name is not Bilious! If I've got to suffer the results, I want to enjoy the good parts first.

At least you don’t get sprayed with Raid lol

 

[TxRad]

No spiders were harmed in the making of the midnight coffee, so have at it.

As for myself, I have some writing to do and then it is off to bed. *Sniff* *Sniff* Maybe a shower first.

Isn't that a bit of an over-dramatic method of cleaning an ear ?
I think I'd rather have a Nurse do it for me. . . .

Any coffee left please ?
'Tiz early-[ish] and I need a kick-start.

 

[oggbashan]

As part of my effort to finish part-written stories while I can and I'm still around, a new oggbashan story was published today:

[TarnishedPenny]

Go, Ogg!

 

[Handley_Page]

Go, Ogg!

'ere, 'ere !

Come on then; who's not filled the coffee pot ?

Sorry, HP, I was hiding in the corner wearing my Groucho Marx disguise hoping no-one would recognise me, but curses, they did, so now my weekend is totally cocked, and I'm back in ER pulling Lego out of kiddie's noses and listening to TOTALLY believable explanations about how people managed to get various objects stuck in various orifices; Lori's got the easy part, she's here disciplining an idiot who really should know better when it comes to attempting to get a date with a sedated patient; all she has to decide is whether to chuck him out a 5th floor window or kick him in the balls so hard his eardrums shatter...

I have almost nothing in common with big hairy spiders. Except, perhaps, for needing a little love.

(What? You don't think big hairy spiders need love? You've obviously never hiked a trail in our area during tarantula mating season. It's kind of endearing and creepy seeing how many lonely male spiders are wandering around in search of mates.)

Fortunately, I found mine years ago. I'd best hope nobody tells M'lady I just compared her to a female tarantula, lest she be moved to emulate a female black widow or praying mantis instead.

Oh man, I really thought it would be the long, hairy legs.

 

[TxRad]

Hey now, leave my legs out of this.

Yeah, I know, I'm late again.I added about 1500-1800 words to three different stories so i kind of stayed up later than I meant too last night. I'll have to do some rereading since I was kind of groggy by the time I did lay down.

Okay, fresh coffee and I had a bacon sandwich for breakfast at lunch.

Unlike Ogg, I'm not finishing backlog stories, I'm just fattening them up.
