Die, Eight-Legged Hellspawn

Remember sac spiders? It's that time of year. They are once again invading the house. Joy.

These things just seem to know how to get in the way. I had to drown one of the bastards today. Since there's nothing else to blog about, allow me to tell the story...

I was going to take a shower, and before I even got to the bathroom, I somehow knew that there was going to be a spider in there. Sure enough, when I turned on the light, there was a friggin' sac spider trying to hide behind the hand towel. I did the natural thing and grabbed a piece of toilet paper to kill it, but when I moved the towel, the little fucker dropped down and went into the sink.

Into. The sink.

So, since my hatred for sac spiders knows no bounds, I decided to have some fun with it, and I turned on the water. I thought it would just go right down the drain, but it swam to the side and tried to climb back out. After this happened a couple more times, it finally went down the drain, but I wanted to make sure it was gone, so I closed the drain just enough to still let water out, then filled up the sink with hot water a couple times and let it empty over a few minutes. The spider is probably dead and/or miles away by now.

Moral of the story: Don't mess with me if I have the ability to kill you with no legal or moral repercussions.

Have a nice day.

You better come to terms with your arachnicism before the ACLU comes to trample your civil liberties.

We used to get them in droves during the spring. And they so love the basement, which is where our entertainment center is. So, one night, I am sitting downstairs watching a movie and out of the corner of my eye, I catch movement. One of the little bastards drifted down between the panels in our ceiling and got decided to stick to the frames of my glasses. I wigged... completely and totally freaked out. It wasn't pretty.
