Spiders

...when it comes to lobster.

Wasn't it Joyce Kilmer who wrote....

I think that I shall never see
A poem as lovely as a spider


I always loved that poem

Have recently met the acquaintenace of a couple of spiders (large) with interesting narrow vertical, ladder-type webs. Must find out what they are.

Thank you for your welcome......


I STILL HATE SPIDERS and SNAKES!!!!!!!!!!

Made their acquaintance Sumac? MOVE OUT, NOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!!!!

Just the average green garden spiders around here. They amuse the dog, and make bad stains when I smush them....

Spiders and Snakes
Jim Stafford

I remember when Mary Lou said
'You wanna walk me home from school'
And I said, 'Yes, I do'
She said, 'I don't have to go right home
And I'm the kind that likes to be alone
As long as you would'
I said, 'Me, too'

And so we took a stroll
Wound up down by the swimmin' hole
And she said, 'Do what you want to do'
I got silly and I found a frog
In the water by a hollow log
And I shook it at her
And I said 'This frog's for you'
She said...

'I don't like spiders and snakes
And that ain't what it takes to love me
You fool, you fool
I don't like spiders and snakes
And that ain't what it takes to love me
Like I want to be loved by you'

Well, I think of that girl from time to time
I call her up when I got a dime
I say, "Hello, baby'
She says, 'Ain't you cool'
I say, 'Do you remember when?
And would you like to get together again?'
She says, 'I'll see you after school'

I was shy and so for a while
Most of my love was touch and smile
Til she said, 'Come on over here'
I was nervous as you might guess
Still looking for somethin' to slip down her dress
And she said, 'Let's make it perfectly clear'
She said...

'I don't like spiders and snakes
And that ain't what it takes to love me
You fool, you fool
I don't like spiders and snakes
And that ain't what it takes to love me
Like I want to be loved by you'

Spiderman, Spiderman Does whatever a spider can
Spins a web any size Catches thieves just like flies
Look out, here comes the Spiderman

Is he strong? Listen Bud He's got radioactive blood
Can he swing from a thread ? Take a look overhead
Hey, there! There goes the Spiderman

In the chill of the night At the scene of a crime
Like a streak of light He arrives just in time

Spiderman, Spiderman Friendly neighborhood, Spiderman
Wealth and fame, he ignores Action is his reward
Look out, here comes the Spiderman

Spiderman, Spiderman Friendly neighborhood, Spiderman
Wealth and fame, he ignores Action is his reward
To him, life's a great big bang up Whenever there's a hang up
You'll find the Spiderman!

You can buy crayfish spiders over here - the goddamn tails mostly get exported!

I never thought a lobster was a relative of the spider. Damn! If I didn't love lobster so much, I'd stop eating them after finding that out. Now I'm gonna think about that everytime I get lobster! <sigh>

I love that song :-)

'I don't like spiders and snakes
And that ain't what it takes to love me
You fool, you fool"

Cool song.

the spider in the hairdo
back when girls wore beehive hairdo one girl was famous for having the highest beehive of all The girls in her highschool. Because it took so long to create, she just never took it down to wash or comb it and instead put copiuos amounts of hairspray in it so it would stay put. One day while she was sittining in class, blood began to trickle down her forehead. She was rushed to the hospital but was pronounced dead on arriva. At some point a spider had laid eggs in her hair and the baby spiders that hatched had began eating her brain!!!
