rip horrid tortured spider family :insane:

Furie 14. December 2008, 12:45

Hooray! I love a happy ending. :D

rose-marie 14. December 2008, 14:41

awww I won't think of this the next time I kill a spider...

clean 14. December 2008, 22:53

Cois,

It's all right ... the spiders are gone now ... and Raid doesn't work on wolves ... well, it does ... but you need a hell of a lot of it! :wink: :lol:



Kimmie,

:o: Exactly the effect I was going for! :smile:



Mik,

Spiderist! :lol:



Rose,

I know the feeling ... I don't like killing things either! I mean, I have done; the largest thing I've deliberately killed is a snake, (but it was only about four feet long), but I didn't take any joy in it (I only did it because it was sort of in the house and - given the type, the size and the fangs on it - looked capable of being quite a danger to us). I tried to make it quick (well-placed pick-axe handle to the noggin), but I did feel bad afterwards.

Sigh ...

:sing: ... for all the things I've killed before ... :sing:

Spaggyj 14. December 2008, 23:03

I don't really feel for spiders much... Only occasionally... I killed one with a sword once... I stood there for fifteen minutes working up the courage... So... Yeah, no guilt there :lol:

rose-marie 14. December 2008, 23:04

:eyes: A four foot snake in your house? :faint:

I think the largest thing I've deliberately killed is a snail. You know... one of those huge brown killer snails :insane:.
Except for the monstrous spider I found in the bathroom of a house we rented on a holiday once. I emptied an entire can of hair spray directly on it. It didn't move for a while so I thought it was dead. Turned out the spray was extra strong, causing it inable to move :lol:.
After that, I gave up trying to kill it.

rose-marie 14. December 2008, 23:06

Maybe I should add that I was around... I don't know... 7-10 years old :left:.

Spaggyj 14. December 2008, 23:07

You... You let it live??

Nerak 14. December 2008, 23:12

I carry 'em outside and set them free...even if it means they'll freeze to death. :lol:

rose-marie 14. December 2008, 23:16

I swear to god it was bigger than my two palms! There was no way I could get it out of that bathroom awww.

Spaggyj 14. December 2008, 23:30

Could not touch them, alive or dead. I couldn't sleep in a building with a live spider! Yeeeurgh!

Furie 14. December 2008, 23:46

When you find a spider in your bathtub, reading your newspaper and singing loudly to Celine Dion, you'd be spiderist too. :insane:

Nerak 15. December 2008, 00:15

Anything singing Celine Dion must die. Especially Celine Dion, herself. :irked:

:lol: Julio & Willie strike again.

I'm right there with you, David. Probably the biggest thing I killed was a snake. However, the toughest critter to kill was a much smaller adversary. It was a Black Wasp-like Bug. It intruded my place. I smacked it with a rolled up TV Listings. Didn't faze it. A bit later I smacked it with a heavier rolled up Newspaper. Nope! Didn't do the job. I then brought out the heavy artillery. I whacked it solidly dead center with a Phone Book! Mission accomplished, you say? Logic would dictate that. But, I kid you not, that Fugger STILL just flew away intact! WTF? :yikes: It must have had a titanium shell. You know, now that I think about it, I'm not sure I ever did kill it. I THINK I might have at the end sort of dazed it with several Shoe Whammings ... then probably picked it up with a paper towel and tossed it's Hard to Kill Ass outside.

clean 15. December 2008, 11:50

:eyes:

And now it hides somewhere outside your house, nursing a deep grudge ... :insane:

Cois 15. December 2008, 20:02

I don't even wanna mention what the biggest thing I killed :left: the biggest insect like creature was a spiderlike creature that builds its nest with hair and has been blamed to shave sleeping people's heads :lol:.
Then a few poisonous snakes.. The rest was either hunting or necessity.. awww

Nerak 15. December 2008, 20:03

:eyes:

Suntana 15. December 2008, 21:14

Hunting or necessity? Necessity as in someone used your phone without your permission and therefore it was necessary to Ki-- ... Uhhh, make them disappear, right? :insane:

Furie 15. December 2008, 21:18

Sounds about right to me. :ninja:

Cois 15. December 2008, 22:04

I had a dog that got hit by a truck as we were going home.. His back was broken in a few places and there wasn't a vet in that place anymore..it was hopeless in trying to save him.. One of those worst times in my life that give me goosebumps when recalling :insane:

clean 16. December 2008, 22:37

Well ... you did the right thing. Better that than your dog suffer. :frown:

Cois 19. December 2008, 08:13

Yeah.. Well i'm a killer I am.. Something something..
I seem to recall a poem but for life of me can't remember the whole thing Homer: Doh!

MConor 6. July 2009, 01:08

Even more of a reason to kill the buggers :devil:

clean 6. July 2009, 06:17

Like I say, "If they're in the house, they die". :lol:

MConor 6. July 2009, 13:21

:lol:
