I killed a spider tonight...

[GoddessOfGuinness]

It was a jumper, and he was hopping around on stage between the podium and the first stands of strings, during rehearsal. There he was, enjoying our music; and all I could think about was keeping him off my bare tootsies while I was playing. So I stood up and squashed him.

If I'd seen him here, I would have said, "Oh cool!" and caught him in a bug box to examine him closely before releasing him in the rose bed.

I feel like a murderer. :-(

[Generic Brad]

1. Was he itsy bitsy?

Or Charlottey?

[GoddessOfGuinness]

2. Not as large as some

but smaller than others.I guess his body was about 3/4" long.

[realisticphish]

3. i HATE spiders

if they all disappeared tomorrow, I'd throw a party. But I never kill them if I can help it. I know how you feel

[GoddessOfGuinness]

7. I like spiders...

Unfortunately, I couldn't stop the rehearsal to get him outside the hall...

[Rocinante]

4. I know how you feel

I don't care for them jumping spiders much, having been bitten by them, but I don't try to kill them.

But when I happen to uncover a Black Widow on our place that spider gets sent to another dimension. I hate to do it but I've seen the damage that they can do to someone.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

9. They're bad news...

This wasn't a black widow. It may have been harmless; but I didn't want to take chances...

[Roon]

23. I have been bitten by a black widow, it's not fun eom

[Richard Steele]

5. Bad, bad, bad.....dangerously bad.

If someone put a gun to my head and made me CHOOSE
an ancient greek "Anthropomorphic personification"
to piss off, ARACHNE would certainly not be my first choice.

I hope you'll understand if I pretend I don't know you
for awhile.

Good luck with everything, random stranger whom I've never met before! :hide:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

10. I know...One night I'm going to awaken

covered with spiders seeking revenge.

[SeattleGirl]

6. Murderer!

:evilgrin:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

11. Now I had inside info that the spider had WMDs

I was merely preempting an attack.

[SeattleGirl]

21. Did they also attempt to get yellow cake uranium from Niger?

:rofl:

[uppityperson]

8. I killed 1 today too. It spun down out of my hair over my shoulder when doing dishes.

I didn't even have time to think. It was a round bodied one, probably a garden spider I'd picked up earlier while out weeding. I didn't have time to thing, just go "oh crap" while I jumped and squished it. I felt bad too. I hate it when that happens.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

13. Well, if we were their size and they were our size,

They'd probably squash us.

[querelle]

12. I Never Kill Spiders

I leave them alone because they prey on all the other insects in my house. Spiders are good. Ladybugs are good too because they eat the aphids that infest my house plants. I have learned to live with certain bugs because they help me out.

Q

[GoddessOfGuinness]

14. If I'd had easy access to a window or a door,

I'd have put him outside...

[querelle]

17. But You Chose To Murder

For shame! You should be banished to Free Republic for your crimes. I for one will be the first to point my finger and condemn you to the hell that you so richly deserve.

Why you.....you.....you......REPUBLICAN!

Killing innocent animals!

Q

You probably drive a SUV as well.......

[GoddessOfGuinness]

18. I don't drive an SUV, but I've been thinking about buying one...

...One of those big fat Hummer things, so I can squash lots of bugs with the tires, and I can catch lots of flying insects in the grillwork.

[querelle]

20. Can I Tell You A Secret?

I want a Hummer so I can kill squirrels. My Camry is not up to the job and I desperately need something to off those fucking tree rats. Those fuckers raid my garden and destroy everything. ME WANTZ BLUD!

Q

[GoddessOfGuinness]

22. Maybe you should put spiders in their nests.

[Robeson]

16. Yep....

...me, too.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

24. I'm redeemed

I saved a young box turtle from certain death this morning, by getting him out of the street, and into the garden where he was headed.

[evirus]

15. natural selection

prehaps the next spider will think a little more before entering your viewing range while your busy.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

19. If spiders thought more...

We could elect one to replace Dumbyass.

[Inchworm]

25. Killing a spider will make it rain

Thats what granny told me :D



You could have chose flight.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

28. Didn't want to lose my job.

It did rain, actually. :D

[Inchworm]

32. Oh noes!

Do not encourage granny!

:rofl:

[EFerrari]

26. If you have to commit spidercide, try to do it in the morning.

It's bad luck to do it at night. :(

[GoddessOfGuinness]

29. I saved a young box turtle this morning

I've found redemption. :D

[EFerrari]

34. Maybe it all evens out.

:)

[catmandu57]

27. My eyes are shot I thought you killed a sniper

Marshmallow is terrified of spiders so I get called to off the spiders in our house, funny thing is though they love to bite her and leave me alone.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

31. Is Marshmallow a cat?

My cats love bugs...except ants.

[catmandu57]

33. No this is a Marshmallow

[NewJeffCT]

30. did the spider look like this?

[GoddessOfGuinness]

35. It was not quite so large

It was black, and had red stripes along its back.
