Well not real life spiders, but those freaky nasty movie spiders found in Arachnaphobia. Damn saw that movie as a kid. Turned on the tube and there it was, Arachnaphobia. So I sat down to watch it and parts of that movie STILL freak me out even though I've seen it before.

I don't get it, maybe its just me. I can watch any of the Freddy, Jason, or other movies like that, but Arachnaphobia gets me EVERY time.

well it has to do with primitive man's instincts. For thousands and thousands of years men have been scared of snakes, spiders, heights, etc. It has to do with our natural desire for survival, whether or not these things today can potentially harm us our brain is still hardwired for the old survival instincts. Without busting out my Biology books upstairs, basically new fears like cars, skyscrapers, etc haven't been around long enough for us to develop fears for it. So FINALLY, a man admits to hating spiders....thought i was alone on that one,

I don't hate spiders, I hate Arachnaphobia! A friend in Junior high had a Tarantula for a pet, didn't bother me. He'd let the thing run around on the floor and he'd put **** in front it to climb over. And we'd let it crawl on us too.

Its just that damned movie Arachnaphobia, gets me jumping every time. I know its fake, I've seen the making of that movie and knowing the spiders aren't venemous still doesn't help me.

Maybe its just giving credit due to the actors, directors, and writers of that film, but damn it makes me JUMP!

YEA man!! I know what you're talking about. That movie was scary cause the spiders just started pouring out of the walls and stuff. Then the one was on fire. Soo scary. I still freak out a little when I see a spider in real life.

I don't mind spiders, they taste good.

hmmm i don't know about you anymore andy, something's not right in the head i think.

must be all this cold weather, or maybe you've been talking to me too much.

Don't knock it til you tried it man.

ummmm they look good smeared on my shoe, kinda like a screamin' chicken decal :-)

catching live ones and flushing them down the toilet is fun too

lol

A good old can of brake cleaner works wonders on the bigger spiders

Bill,

I think you need to head down to the Museum of Science and Industry. I went there last week with my kids, and while visiting the store on the way out, I almost bought what I thought was a knock off box of choclate covered peanuts. BUT, after closer inspection, I discovered it was a box of chocolate covered insects! You never know, they might taste good with some chocolate.

I am totally going to remember that.

i agree on the brake cleaner, actually any strong solvent will **** them up and attack their nerve endings pretty quickly. Not that i condone using it lol....

wheres your imagination?

now brake clean and a liter , thats funny :-)

yea, any kind of solvent and a lighter.......brake cleaner and ether seem to work the best though....

Damn Steve, you sound like a narrator of a discovery channel show
But the bigger spiders do make a really cool crunching noise when you squash them!

*****.

i read a book that said girls tend to be more afraid of spiders because of their hairy legs. it makes them think about themselves having hairy legs, interesting idea. i broke my toe killing a tree spider. as soon as i stamped it in my garage a heavy steel crossmember fell out of the rafters and landed on my toe. it happened to be the fourth of july and i was playing a show that day and eneded hobbling around like ozzy on stage. getting wasted first helped the pain.

the first time i got laid was while watching arachnophobia so i watch that movie with fond memories. firebirdconv92 helped me remeber this

ahhhh......just call me niles marvin
