There's a big **** off spider in your room, do you...

[newbie original]

The other option(if you have a big spider and roughly 10 minutes to spare) is to keep a fishing rod(and rod holder, to attach the rod to a wall so that the rod would be bent out-war-d from the wall and make roughly a 45 degree angle with the wall) handy and when the scum reveals himself to you, give him(verbally and using hand gestures) warnings..give him time to learn...allow him around 6 mistakes, where he refuses to take the warning seriously and keeps coming back for more. If he refuses to heed the 6 warnings, trap him in your hands, attach the prick to the hook of the rod, like as if he is bait, and insert the rod into the wall holder. You can watch his a** do whatever the hell his atom sized brain instructs him to. You can move your head close to him to watch him carefully and study his every move. Everytime he attempts to jump at you(if that is even physically possible in that hooked state) you can move your head back(as the string becomes taut and jerks him back-->away from you), point at his sorry a** and scream at him "You ****ed with your wrong marine!!!"

You can call small kids over(if you have them at your disposal), from other rooms, and scare them.

Let him go after 10 minutes(or less..closer to 5, because you may soon get bored).

I have no problems with spiders. A nice one hit kill with my Long Sword +2/+4 against spiders. If that is not available, a shoe does nicely.

I really, really hate cockroaches though.

 

[newbie original]

...Long Sword +2/+4.........

...ideal for slicing and cutting...can strike from far away, but a bit messy ..........

Easiest way to do it is to put a glass over it, slide a piece of paper over the end, put it outside.

That's what I'd do . . . except I usually throw them outside the window rather than put them outside!

...almost 20 days later.

I thought it was just a smudge on the tv screen, but I went close up today, and there's a little but noticable dead spider on the inside screen of my tv (it's one of those 2003 big flat screen box tvs). Anyways, any way to get it off or will it just fall of from current or something eventually? tricky thing is it's inside the inside plasticy screen but on the glass screen inside the tv so I can't just get it out.

I have a friend who eats spiders

I have a friend who eats spiders

How old is this... "friend" of yours?

 

[Sir Calumn]

He's 19.

He's absolutely hillarious in that he's always telling drug stories and boasting of his experience and expertease in drug experimentation yet his tolerance for absolutely anything is ridiculously low and he always ends up embarrassing himself, usually by eating something bizarre and then passing out or throwing up. Chillis, Baking Soda, Brine, Lard, Hoi -Sin, Egg Shells, Flour and Water paste and, of course, spiders have all fallen victim to him.

He also coined the term "wine nuts" by putting nuts in his wine then downing the whole thing. It's since become something of a flat tradition.

Does anyone have have any experience with Lady Beetles(Asian Lady Beetle)? I believe that the one I have in my room, right now, is the "10 spotted Lady Bird"

When I first saw it crawling under a window ledge, I smiled since this is the first time I can remember encountering one in real life. I then moved close to it to look closer and count the spots on its back and was having a bit of fun doing so, UNTIL THE DAMN THING SPREAD ITS WINGS AND FLEW OFF and scared the sh*t right out of me. When they fly, they look deceptively like WASPS....sh*t scary!

EDIT: Correction...it is the Asian Lady Beetle..see pose below.

 

[Tom]

Haha, should we start a new thread to see how most people kill them?

 

[newbie original]

Well, this is more like the "bug" thread....and this would be considered a bug.

Although, after further reading, I've found out that these are good at getting rid of other pest species. I personally wouldn't mind trapping it between the 2 window panes, and releasing it from there, if only I didn't unleash a very girlish scream, and run away, everytime I see it flying around. They even make a real loud buzzing sound...can be quite frightening, unless you know for sure that it isn't a wasp.

EDIT: Oh, and one more thing, they smash...and I do mean smash back onto the window when they realize that the blinds are solid and that they cannot fly through them. I know because I've heard it thump its hard shell against the glass on more than one occassion today.

I love flicking insects, whether they be spiders or anything else. I've gotten very good at this. I can flick them in the direction that I want and then watch them recover from the horrible impact they just had with the hard surface they just hit, then if they get up and walk (usually the case) I do it over and over until they stop moving.

I actually find this quite entertaining.

 

[Tom]

Wow, brutal.

Dit idee van internationale instanties opgericht op het principe van autonome gelijkheid, waarnaar vele autonome staten vrijwillig en deelnemen overdraag invloed en controle over hun eigen binnenlandse en internationale zaken, maar die in de praktijk zulk die sommige lidstaten wordt voorbereid kunnen oefenen ver geweldiger macht binnen hen Shifty anderen, zijn een die autonome gelijkheid in moderne geschiedenis heeft verdergegaan met wegspoelen. De Europese Unie vereist bijvoorbeeld het is leden om sommige controles naar het Europese Parlement over te dragen, waarin zekere staten van veel meer macht en voorstelling genieten Shifty anderen, door factoren zoals veto's en bevolkingsafhankelijkestemallocaties. (Vaubel, 1995, p 28). Nochtans, misschien is het voornaamste voorbeeld van iedereen de Verenigde Naties of VN. Het VN charter verklaart dat "de Organisatie op het principe van autonome gelijkheid van alle zijn Leden wordt gebaseerd". (Goodrich et al 1945, artikel 2 afdelingen 1) Ondanks dit nochtans, zijn er vele-richtings waarin de "geweldige macht" veel meer macht en controle binnen de VN kan oefenen Shifty de andere lidstaten en kunnen daarom, door deze middelen, om invloed en controle over de internationale en binnenlandse zaken van deze andere lidstaten aan te wenden, op te heffen hun autonoom recht naar onafhankelijke en autonome zelf-controle en Het wegspoelen van hun autonome gelijkheid. Om slechts een voorbeeld te geven, geeft het VN Veiligheidsraad veto aan zekere lidstaten het recht om resoluties te blokkeren. In de praktijk dit betekent dat resoluties door steunden alles behalve een enkele machtige staat kan nooit in realisatie komen, terwijl andere kleiner machtige staten kunnen worden gedwongen resoluties aan te nemen met die zij van mening verschillen.

 

[Tom]

Stoned again.

 

[Sir Calumn]

Not at all. I merely thought some of our dutch readers would like to read about the erosion of state sovereigny by international organisations in their own language.

 

[CarlosDanger]

We used to find these around our apartment about once every two weeks in Mexico.

You can't squish them because supposedly (not sure if this is BS, but not willing to tempt fate) the odour attracts more.

So they would go down the toilet.

 

[newbie original]

Well, I've just learnt, the hard way, that if you selected option 1 from the poll:

ALWAYS go in for the KILL FIRST........ONLY AFTER you have claimed your victim should you go looking for TISSUE paper.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

We don't get lady bugs in my area anymore. Their niche seems to have been replaced by those horrible flying asian beetles which look similar to lady bugs but smell much worse when you squish them.

http://www.ca.uky.edu/entomology/entfacts/ef416.asp

Those things.

 

[newbie original]

Hmmm....after reading your post, I just got a closer at a second one.....dead(on the outside of the window).....and it's infact the same here. It's not the Lady Bug but the Asian Lady Beetle that I have. It had more than 10 spots and the head structure was slightly different....after straining my eyes to pick out the difference.

DAMN THEM........DAMN THEM ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
