    Nice things or bad things?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,626 ✭✭✭smoke.me.a.kipper


    well, when i finish my day, he will meet his maker, but nice things till then. or ideas on how to kill him off later would be handy too.

    I found a big f*cker in my shed last night. He must have been the size of a 20c peice. Scared the sh!t out of me so i nailed the b@stard with a spade.

    Small one's are cute though. :D

    :eek:

    How about killing it?? On the hand dont do that cos it'l be raining 2moro. Just a superstition. It better be small!!

    Whatever u do dont bring him up to my flat!! I dont want another 8 legged visitor in my flat! Theyre living on my clothes line, on the kitchen window and theyres another big fukker outside my bedroom window. I dont want to touch it and i'm afraid to even open the window!

    What is with all these mad big spiders everywhere suddenly ???

    I've cought some big guys outside my house recently. One had a 2cm torso !!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,921 ✭✭✭✭Pigman II


    Put him in a plastic coffee cup, put the lid on and watch him use it as a hamster wheel.

    i have him under a can of coke while im taking calls but between calls me and 'john-anthony spider' are getting more aquanted. :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,216 ✭✭✭✭monkeyfudge


    Why not put the spider in a little parcel and post it to your mother and see if it survives the journey.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 534 ✭✭✭Doper Than U


    OR.. how about you train it to be your little sidekick! You could get it to spin a web over and unsuspecting female worker (fear of spiders necessary), and then to drop down and hover right in her face, and then shimmy back up its web while she screams the place down. Then when it has babies, they can be your own little army!!! The possibilities are endless!!

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,093 ✭✭✭woosaysdan


    not if you keep pouring water in on top of the little feckers or also smak you could keep him as your pet!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,892 ✭✭✭bizmark


    You do understand spiderman isnt a spider but a man with spider powers! :)

    Anyway ! why not set it on fire and use it like fire ships back in the day of sail powered ships of the line

    How about trying to find another spider, introduce them to oneanother and see what happens!

    Find a fly , wing it enough to stop ot flying , find a plate place both on it let nature take its course and have to somfin to watch for the rest of the day.

    I never kil spiders they too cool (unlike cats/dogs who do **** all spiders kill for their food) so i leave them alive and feed them any flies from the fly electrocutor thingy. Althought maybe if they moved into the bottom would be handier.

    AFAIK, it's the time of year - they all (or at least the males) come out to look for a mate, thats why you see them a lot more than usual.

    I think I'm going to pass out from thinking about them, I hate the feckers.

    I recenty caught a big one in my bog - he was weird - fat body, thick legs and a white stripe down his back. I've never seen one like it before! It was pretty greusome standing on him! :eek:

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,811 ✭✭✭*Page*


    ok ye i think their not safe the 1's wit spripes


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,126 ✭✭✭][cEMAN**


    How? I mean if he kept his suit on how would you do him? I'm curious.

    *EDIT* Just realised how long I had this topic sitting open. It was a response to the "i'd do spiderman" reply *EDIT*


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,893 ✭✭✭Canis Lupus


    can i vote NOT to kill him? its a curious thing i have.. i hate spiders but i try not to kill them...

    Firstly he might be able to get an sos out to his mates before he dies.

    Secondly it might just turn out that in the future spiders take over the world. If u let that one live he might put in a good word about u and yur family and so yur progeny will be spared being eaten alive when the revolution happens...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,892 ✭✭✭bizmark


    That or hes the ring leader of this revolution you talk of ....I demand you kill the spider now just to be sure

    im going to start picking off his legs. one on the hour every hour. im going to do a whole side, then the other side. might be funny watching him run around in circles for a while!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,601 ✭✭✭MidnightQueen


    Well its definetly gonna be raining 2moro! At least it gives those lil bastards on my clothes line a nice shower but i'll never get my clothes dry!! :(

    ah no jesus.... here i am a 23 yr old bloke and im pleading for the spiders life and mobility.... whats my life become...

    I have a thing against needlessly killing something.... altho my morals have plenty of grey areas i cant stand it when someone sees a spider and just kills it for being there. It will take a minute out of yur day to take the spider and put him out of harms way


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,626 ✭✭✭smoke.me.a.kipper


    i will take your view into due consideration. maybe i will release him back to his friends in the wild.

    well, Marc Anthony is J-Lo's hubby tbh
    and SMAK, u leave that poor spider alone...do him a favor and release him outside....as much as I hate spiders and how they scare teh crap out of me I am feeling pretty sorry for the little guy now :p
    Though if it were me I would have smashed him by now just because of my unrational fear of a crawly things that are a hundred times smaller than I am ;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,811 ✭✭✭*Page*

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,811 ✭✭✭*Page*
