Spiders>Snakes

Speaking of spiders, I saw my first red back ever a few days ago in the corner of the window outside. It has now left it's position and it's whereabouts is unknown :/

My friend has huge arachnophobia. Even the tiny ones scare him a lot :lol:

Are you sure? I bet all cockroaches can fly.

There were a nest of redbacks inside the back of my brother's ipod dock.

Oh god.

Reminds me... I had a fucking ant colony living inside my printer.

The biggest spider I came across in New Zealand was about.. 2cms long. I was laying on my bed talking on MSN when in the corner of my eye I see this fucker crawling slowly up my shirt. I jumped, trapped the bastard with my fingers and the cloth of my shirt (without squeezing it because this was back when I was in school and I was still in uniform), manouvered myself out of my shirt without moving my fingers at all (except for swapping hands) from the cloth trapping the spider, then manourvered myself into another shirt with extreme difficultly. I ran outside, chucked the shirt on the ground, flicked the spider off with the broom then proceeded to consistantly thwack it to death. I then sprayed my entire room 50 times with bug spray just in case.

I hate insects xD

WGMG: I'm pretty sure my eating pattern is completely fucked up. I eat much more at dinner time than I do the whole rest of the day combined.

+1.

I've had my fair share of tactical battles with spiders. Here are my spider stories:

Was going to pick up my brother from a party just after midnight last January, and to open the gate to my driveway, you need to walk past the clothes-line. On the clothes-line was a very intricate web AND A FREAKING ENORMOUS SPIDER. I pretty much walked sideways past the clothes-line at a very slow speed, watching it the whole time. When I got home, once again, I snuck past it, grabbed a can of insect spray and proceeded to spray it until it was covered in the white spray, became too heavy for the web, and fell to the ground. Win.

One situation where I didn't win was just a few months ago. Went to sit on the lounge and on the wall behind the lounge was yet another freaking enormous spider. I grabbed a shoe ready to annihilate it, until Mum hears the commotion and says that she'll take care of it. So, she got a fly swat and deadset gave it a love tap. It fell off the wall and I could hear the big bastard walking away. Wasn't keen on sitting on the lounge for a week. Hasn't been seen since though. Must have been too cold in Winter at night to survive in our loungeroom.



That's it. I'm moving to NZ. :lol: :p

Once I had a bunch of redbacks living in my mailbox. The Mortein got a work out that day.

I had a beehive in my old couch. The couch was outside at the time ready to be taken away to the tip.

We had a beehive in our old garage.

I had a beehive in a tree in my backyard this one time.

I had a beehive in a tree in my backyard this one time.

Yeah cool spiders and ants and stuff

More like borophyll.

Did you try hitting it with a baseball bat?

I'm moving to New Zealand than! Fuck this shit in Australia, with big fuck off spiders and other bullshit stuff like flying cockroaches and stick insects that are 50cm long!

I should tell you the story of how I defeated big arse motherfucking huntsman

Ok so I put on some shoes, and then got another pair of shoes, one for each hand, then instructed my wife to "persuade" the spider onto the wall, low enough so I could destroy it with a broom.

Anyway, THE KUNT decided to quickly jump onto the broom, which caused my wife to drop and run, which caused be to run in the other direction, then we had no idea where the fuck it went! After eventually finding it, a battle of whits ensued between my wife and I as to who could convince the other that they should kill it. Eventually I lost, and hit that mother fucker about 8 times in a blind rage!

Fuck spiders...

There was, not one, not two, but three beehives in my neighbours place once, and two were on the fence we shared. I felt like I was at the South Africa World Cup.

WGMG: Really racist biggotted facebook statuses, which the people delete when three people tell them how wrong they are.

WGMG: Totally not even feeling tired, even though I should be going to bed soon.

I had a hornet nest in my backyard a few years ago. Not small ones either, they were massive. Made trying to do something as simple as playing backyard cricket a horror. They would literally fly around your head.

Yeah New Zealand generally doesn't have many things that can kill people, like Crocodiles, Sharks, AFL, Spiders, 40+ deg celcius weather, Snakes, Melbourne Victory fans, etc.

I have been told that if I go to a rough pub in New Zealand, not to be scared of the big intimidating looking Maori blokes, rather be scared of their wifes.

I've also learned thanks to the Kiwi highway patrol shows we get in Australia that young white blokes in New Zealand are fucking brain dead... whats with that? ay? bro?

This Article seems relevant to the last page and a half

My favourite thing about NZ when i went, some guy at a servo said "sweet as" i couldnt control my laughter.

Both of these are true.

And Rugby is the national sport. No one knows how much brain damage comes from thrusting your head hard in between two guys heads or hips and pushing, but judging from those guys, a lot bru, ay?

*moments before the scrum engaged, the New Zealand prop said:

"oi bru hold on a sic, I thunk I dropped my contect lunse... ah nu!"

WGMG: Trying to get stuff organised with lazy fucks who expect everything will just fall into place. Christ.

WGMG: Christmas Carols. Because they always get stuck in my head.

Right now Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer is playing over and over and over in my head and it's driving me up the wall.
