This thread was a real Gark-a-thon for a while. It goes to show you what happens when you let a goblin off the leash. ;)
As for spiders, I usually catch them and put them back outside. However, if they come for me (like the one that made a run at my foot the other night), I mash 'em flatter than a toad in Chicago rush-hour traffic. Gleefully, and without a qualm, I might add.
Yeah, I know, they bite you only when they're provoked, blah blah blah. That's why when I was 10 years old, I was getting a bite every night while sitting reading my evening comic book, and my parents couldn't figure out why until she saw a spider come out of the bathroom and crawl along the wall 30 feet through the house -- she followed it, and it went up onto the couch I was sitting on and headed straight for the arm that kept getting bitten. Clearly, I was just invading its personal space. I've seen plenty of examples of such provocation since then. ;)

C'mon, guys...he already admitted that the lack of population numbers has him depressed, so of course he's wearing an inky cloak of morning.
Heh...heh...more avatar analysis.
Nice gifts! Hope you guys have fun with the Crypt of the Everflame.

Let go! Uh, look! A big spider over there! *Points*

What'd I miss?
Well, let me explain. No, let me sum up....
Catherine has been in love with Michael, but he was unwilling to commit to her because he was still married to Sasha. Then Sasha became lost and presumed dead when her boat trip in Africa was attacked by hippos. Meanwhile, Jeremy just found out that he's pregnant with an alien love-child, and Marjorie has learned that her dog is actually her father - his brain was transplanted into the dog's body by a mad scientist who also uses mind control on hippos....
No wait, that's my soap opera.

Ah...I still dream of the ginger cookies that I had in Williamsburg...
::shameless drooling::
Depends on how Ginger looks. On Gilligan's Island she was OK, but Maryann was much hotter.
Is there another Ginger? Are her cookies better than Lillith's? That might be bordering on blasphemy.

I'd offer you one, but a virtual ginger cookie just isn't the same. And they're so good. All soft and chewy with little bits of candied ginger in them. ^.^
Don't hate me. :) Besides, you can order these ones if you want. AFAIK they'll ship this stuff anywhere. zingermansbakehouse.com I'm fortunate enough that they're right down the road from me, but if we ever move you can bet I'll still get these things shipped to me. :)

I wis that there was an ignore thread function. I hae one or two that I would like to ignore, before I get myself into trouble.
David, I seem to recall that you're a conservative... I'm a liberal. Can we agree that the new political thread might be the worst thread these forums have ever seen?
Yay for bipartisan agreement!

I concur that this is an issue that we can both agree on. I think I'll start calling myself David "McCain" Fryer, beause I can reach across the aisle.

Maybe it is time to lobby again for a political subforum that we can turn off? Or even a Controversial forum, where a variety of things can get moved and then those who want the undisturbed bliss of their forums can have them, while those who want to argue and get all riled up can? I know that the creation of certain forums in the past sure added to my quality of life.

I find it an exercise in self-control. I look in, decide that a thread is nothing I want to do with, and force myself to never look at it again.
Well...that's just GREAT for YOU! You're an angel. But there's rumors going round in my family that there may not only be something fey back there, but perhaps something fiendish as well...

In the interests of putting my money where my fangs here, here's another contribution to the main topics of this thread ;) .... in the form of a gross story about spiders from about 10 years back ....
WARNING! If you have squeamishness about spiders, this story may be extremely disturbing to you. ;) Arachnophobe discretion advised -- reading further may result in permanent mental scarring, waking with a yowl and a cold sweat in the middle of the night, and/or extreme prejudice against spiders. Just so ya know.
One morning, about 10 years ago, I woke up after a good night's sleep and my nose felt a bit stuffy. I got up, got dressed, got a tissue, blew my nose ....
.... and a crooked, hairy spider leg came out.
I sat there, looking at it for a good ten seconds, and then I was blowing my nose frantically, even though it didn't feel stuffed up any more. Two more spider legs came out, but nothing after that. I rinsed my nose out with water as best as I was able, but no go. The rest of the beast remained out of sight, so I wasn't sure if it was still up there, or if just some of the legs got up there without the rest of the spider being involved.
Then, the next morning, when I woke up, I sneezed .... and there was the rest of the spider, a smallish wolf spider, dead as a doornail of course, and missing three legs. I've got a pretty strong stomach most of the time, but with the implications of that, I admit to a retch on that occasion ....
Thankfully, thus far, it seems to have been a once-in-a-lifetime experience .... and I sure do hope it stays that way! =)

I was just in it for s%!~s'n'giggles, cause I didn't think it was serious enough to warrant anything; now I'm bailing before I can't escape the event horizon of the thing.
Yih, as soon as the Post Monster gets wind of that thing, it's time for the lock. It really can't go anywhere but down from the thread title.

Don't worry, I'll be back when that thread is safely locked. The last thing I want is to be lumped in with the extremists flocking in to beat their breasts about the evils of the other side. I am soooo tired of it. Reasoned political discourse is dead in this country. It's now a combo of American Idol and Monday Night Football.
Feh, I'm going to go work in my garden ..
Strolls off, closing the OTD thread after him ..

Hmmm...maybe I need to get word to a certain friend of mine to visit that thread. A gentelman who is prone to ejecting the contents of his stomach through his mouth in a series of involuntary spasmodic movements.....

This is my second bipartisan effort of the day, with my conservative undead buddy.
This thread is a model of political cooperation!

Not worried about it. Josh would have had to have gotten a lot more complints then just a few threadjacks to shut it down. They let this one keep going after all. I'm just sad that no one responded to Smvrf Jack. Watching angry peple smvrf themselves is funny.
