ROTFL!!

Probably found the Spider Department on the web.

Yay! I knew if I waited long enough, someone would come up with a better way! Think they’ll take Visa over the phone?

Is everyone supposed to have an overbite?

My sister used to send me upstairs to her room to kill spiders and centipedes. I’d go up there and stomp a couple of times then come back down and tell her it was dead (fortunately, she never checked the soles of my shoes).

Should call the guy from arachnophobia :)

I knew of a girl who called the police to rescue her from a spider and the cops actually turned up and killed the spider.

Now that it’s getting a little cooler here on Okinawa, the spiders are migrating back indoors. They are not indoor pets.

With two more guys they could use their eight legs to get up there.

False alarm gents, she was watching Arachnophobia…

When the great drought of 95-98 here finally broke, huge cockroaches appeared out of nowhere in most of the old buildings in my city. I’m talking, like 4-5 inches long. Some white, from the sewers, others brown. I once found one at eyelevel on the wall in the corridor I turned down, jumped about a foot and beat a hasty retreat back to where I came from. My buddy laughed in my face and called me a wimp, so I told him to go deal with it. I knew he’d seen it by the string of profanity! Hmmm…he didn’t wanna kill it either!

Geez…

Is it just me or did this strip get ‘soft’ over the last year?

It always amazes me how we can be so afraid of something so much smaller than we are.

Oh, yes, please! These kinds of rescue workers should be everywhere!

At least they’re not using brass knuckles: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9oUq4twMVY

I could have used them today. Black widows suck.

I know some people who would love to get the emergency number of these guys.

Now that’s a good idea!
