SPIDERS!

[cornerofmadness]

The secretary finds me. - R wants to see you in lab. Do you have a sponge?

Me - why would I have a sponge. (Goes to see what R wants. R.'s another biology prof)

R - (after I get into the lab) LOOKEE! I just got it. (points to fat-assed tarantula in a cage). Got a sponge?

Me - why

R - want to give the spider a drink. Got a sponge?

Me - no and if I did, you wouldn't get it. Want spider dead.

R - aww but it's pretty. How good are you at sexing spiders?

me - On the bottom of my shoes and flat, they all look pretty much the same.

R-(shining light on the thing's abdomen) What do you think? Male or female.

me- it's furry.

Spider leaps on the wall of the cage.

R- wow didn't know it could hold onto plastic like that

Me - the evil Mr. Fang could, that's the spider I used to babysit in college

R - I need to find her some crickets

Me - i'll look in my garden. whatever I find you can have for her.

R - I think I'll name her Tiffany

You guys were having two completely different conversations there. XD I imagined R with <3_<3 anime eyes the whole time.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

ohyes R thinks Tiffany is beautiful. I want Tiffany to shrivel and die

File under "conversations I never thought I'd have".

Thank you for sharing the fun. Very lol. Who is R?

[bob_fish.livejournal.com]

Hee! I'm with R, tarantulas = cool. But I feel bad for Tiffany getting that bright light shone on him/her, sounds like s/he was kind of distressed by it.

*offers Tiffany some delicious crickets*

A spider geek. I guess somebody has to be.

XD Spiders sort of creep me out, especially the big ones. That did not stop me from having the spider girl at Petco (back when I used to groom there) hide a tarantula molting in the pile of paperwork that the day shift neglected to file.* I did not feel how soft her new fur felt, despite the girls insistence.

*They would always leave the paperwork in a huge pile for me to do because they were lazy, lazy, lazy. So I refused to do it and would leave the pile in the middle of everything for them to try and work around the next morning. When the spider molted and the girl brought it in to show me (why do spider freaks love showing these things off?) I had her put it under all the papers. *evil grin*

I love your attitude towards spiders.

Anything that eats bugs cannot be all bad.

*chuckling* When I saw the title of the entry I had this visualization of Ishte screaming and running from the room. After reading the entry I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt...she would run screaming FROM THE BUILDING!!!

I agree with you about tarantulas....and would possibly even beat Ishte in leaving the premises...but I would return with a BIG STICK!

are you sure

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

not dealing with the spiders

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

You should've watched her nearly faint at the wood spider in the bathroom at my house (that I warned her not to approach until I got the spider safely captured and outside, but nooooo, she had to go see why I was yelling, "COM, don't go in the bath, all right?").

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

I like R already. Did you mention the "bigger than my hand" wood spider in the bath?

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

COM Doesn't Like Spiders. No.

...and got irritated that I would catch the interlopers in the house and turn them loose outside again.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

okay i love this story

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

and that someone ain't me

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Spiders are gross.

The light wasn't too bright but Tiffany had just traveled in a chinese soup container thru the mail to get to us so she was probably cranky

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

R is another b iology prof

and she likes spiders

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

hahaha

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

spiders in house = death by heavy object and a prayer offered up to Grandfather Spider

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

My friend, C, whom COM and I used to work with, did the same thing with a plastic tarantula on his boss's desk, under a stack of folders. :D

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yes

need to find her picture

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

And I'll go along with that for poisonous spiders, but the wood spiders ate monstrous roaches. :D

[nowhere-winry.livejournal.com]

Yes. And repost her here.
