Shivermetimbers Posted November 7, 2003 Author Share Posted November 7, 2003 Well, Andy still hasn't stolen my mail. But someone stole my car late last night/early this morning. And I live in a field. Not particularly near anyone. The moral of this story: Never ever ever everevr leave your keys in your car however safe it may be. How do you say THAT in german?

Natty Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 Originally posted by Orca Wail *saturated with sarcasim...i hope * Hmm...I take it you Aussies hate the Crocodile Hunter(Steve Erwin)?

Yeah, I was only joking I live in a house like everyone else, I drive a car and we have electricity. It's just that sometimes it feels like that people have these pre-made ideas on Australia. That we all live in the middle of nowhere. That we don't have cars or buses or trains and that we don't have big skyscrapers in our cities. Which, you'd think after the 2000 Olympics you'd think people would have noticed we have technology. Of course I know not everyone has those ideas Just some people, so often I play along with it. Oh and the Crocodile Hunter? Don't get me started on him. He's a moron. Oh and Australia is a fantastic place to live. It's my home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emma Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 James is really keen for us to emigrate to Aus at some point in the distant future. Too many scary spiders and snakes for my liking. Actually, that's one of the good things about the UK - no scary beasties/animals that can kill you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natty Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 Yeah. Australia has something like 8 or 9 of the worlds most deadliest snakes that are in the top10. I'm not sure about spiders either. There's the redbacks, white tails, funnelwebs and a few others that I can't think of at the moment. White tails are a right pain in the backside. They come out in summer and are just irritating. They're small too so half the time you don't see them. They're poisonous but I'm not sure if they're deadly. Huntsmens are a pain too but at least they're not poisonous. But some of them are massive and can scare the hell out of you. They're probably the most common spiders I see at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emma Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 *Shudder* I can cope with ones up to the size of my fingernails. Any bigger (not that you really get any much bigger here) and I refuse to touch them. Actually, that's because I picked up a BIG **** OFF garden spider once and it bit me and it hurt. I don't think my pale complexion would cope well with the sun there, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alia Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 Ernil and Mr.Burger are apparently....uhh...bedridden. Look at those oddly corresponding locations they have. Did anyone read the National Geographic article about Portia spiders? That was weird. These spiders are CRAZY. Look them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Burger Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 Andy, No. 1) Don't leave us hanging by not telling us what is so miraculous about these Portia spiders. 2) Don't you DARE make us believe, even if just for a second, that we have to do voluntary research about them. Made my heart skip a beat. Just tell us, girl! and yes Chris and I are lovers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alia Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 I don't feel like it. The article was really long with huge glossy photos. And the bizarre behavioral attributes of the Portia spiders are to complex to remember at 3 in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Burger Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 damn you. damn you so much. fine i'll look up the freaking spider. and i'll keep it to myself too. no no even better: i'll look up my own god damn spider! and i'll tell you it changed my life reading about it then I will leave it at that. only then will you sympathize with all of us who read your tantalizing post.

Alia Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 Well....geez! With all the arachnaphobes hanging around, you think I want to go into explicit detail about on odd spider? A VERY ugly one? Eww. It was gross-looking. All hairy with too many big eyes. Why, a very Gillette commercial waiting to happe, that spider. But when they showed the pic of this other spider...man. That one was like 15 times bigger. And it had smooth black legs and yellow spots. Very pretty for a spider, I daresay. Oh...oops...I've exceeded my mandate.

Mr.Burger Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 i hate those spiders that are like... transparent greenish that you find on leaves and stuff. they rarely come inside. they have their front two sets of legs like really long and set sidewise so they look like airplane wings. why do they do that? because they're freaking jumping spiders. a bug THAT ugly with FANGS that can JUMP really F***ing far at undodgable speeds... it's a porno-flick waiting to happen.

Shivermetimbers Posted November 8, 2003 Author Share Posted November 8, 2003 Whats wrong with spiders? they have eight legs and can make their own houses out of their ass. Can you do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernil Posted November 8, 2003 Share Posted November 8, 2003 No. But can spiders hold their breath for 10 minutes like some superior humans can? Didn't think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shivermetimbers Posted November 8, 2003 Author Share Posted November 8, 2003 Hmm. You have a point there Ernil. But... EIGHT LEGS!! they can walk even when they are missing some of them!

Shivermetimbers Posted November 8, 2003 Author Share Posted November 8, 2003 Umm, the polite answer or the honest answer I would give if you were having a housewarming party? Polite- well, my goodness, you are... very resourceful! Well, here is your housewarming present. *hands edlib a basket of assorted room deoderizers, and politely excuses herself honest-What the ****? I mean, it's cool, but the smell is kinda raunchy. Congratulations on your recycling regimin. *Hands edlib a composting toilet and 24 pack of toilet paper, walks out cackling, says to person on their way in, "geeze, what a s***heap" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
