Like we all havent had that time where we took way too many psychedelics and barricaded the front door with the couch after collecting all the sharp instruments in the house and carving all the eyes out of every poster in the place before retiring back in our pillow and blanket fort for a little aftenoon whittling

I cut out all the dancing bears from the grateful dead poster because they wouldn't stop dancing.

I saw a brownish Civic for sale in the next town. Haven't seen one for years and your thread appears. Now there's a survivor kicking around locally.

Anyhow, that fix-a-biturbo agreement has me curious. Would the eventual selling price increase be larger than the amount you would be paid to fix it? If so, you are either being screwed or given a valuable lesson that you should never own a biturbo. If not, you are being sponsored and encouraged to repair and own it. I don't know which is worse.

Holy Christ, I am going to check the poo poo out of my homeowners' policy:

quote:

Magee said State Farm claims the policy doesn’t cover spiders. However, Magee said the exclusion is for insects, and courts in other states have held that spiders are not insects.

In addition, State Farm is claiming that even though the house has thousands of spiders, that does not amount to “physical damage,” he said.

I wonder what it sounds like when they run a vacuum through there to clean up all the spider corpses after fumigation.

Makes me wonder what in the hell 4500-6000 brown recluse spiders could be eating. One answer is "each other" but that's not sustainable obviously and should have crashed their population. Spiders are obviously insectivores, so... the house has to have some additional massive infestation of spider food in order to spur huge population explosions of predatory spiders.

The only other possible explanation, already ruled out by which paper it's in, is that the house was in Australia

Wolf spiders are our friends. They chill in your room and murder insects.


Then they crawl over your bed at night and onto your face and stop being your friends. I screamed like a loving girl.

Wolf spiders are cool as hell. SA is all like "oh jumping spiders are so cute they are our friends" but you can't help but be impressed when you watch a wolf spider run a train on dozens of ants pouring out of an ant hill without taking a scratch.

One night many moons ago I was driving home from my girlfriend's place and pulling onto the Merritt Parkway from one of those stop sign on"ramps". It was late so there was no traffic but I did a shoulder check to make sure I could merge, and when I turned my head to look ahead, there was a spider dangling right in front of my face. At the time I drove a Wrangler with a beat up soft top and I really never zipped up my windows, so it was easy for bugs to get in.

Mind you, as there was no other traffic and the Merritt is unlit, after I hysterically batted it away, I had no loving idea where it went (soft top Jeeps have no dome light, you see). The rest of my 30 minute drive home, any breeze that rustled the hairs on my arms or anywhere else on my body had me squirming thinking it was crawling all over me. I've never been happier to get home and the gently caress out of my Jeep than I was that night.

My buddy dropped off his Chrysler 300 for warranty service. On the highway home he lowers the sun visor and a pile of huge spiders fall out.

Called the dealership afterward to let them know they might have a spider problem, and the service writer was like "we've gotten that complaint a lot lately."

Wolf spiders don't even make webs. They hide out in the rocks and just murder any bugs they see. I killed a black widow the size of a quarter the other day in my garage. gently caress those guys.

Since we're now posting about spiders ITT I'll tell you all a story.

Once a few years ago I was sitting in a recliner rocking my child to sleep when I felt something brushing around the side of my head. I sort of swiped at it with my hand and felt whatever it was scuttle onto my ear lobe and I thought, "OH GOD NO!" and took an even bigger more forceful swipe at it. Luck however was not on my side and I felt whatever it was scurry down into my ear. At this point every nerve in your body is screaming at you to just leap up and run around flailing, but I was holding an infant. So I went to the bedroom and frantically woke my wife up. "Here, hold the kid"

Then I proceeded to run around in a circle shaking my head and slapping my ear, then I tried to hold my head sideways and throw water up into my ear hoping to flush the critter out. Eventually my wife put the kid down in her bed and came to check on me. I had her look down into my ear with a flashlight "Yup, I can see a spider in there peering out at me, fuckn' creepy." You think it's creepy for you? I can hear the thing skittering around on my ear drum and it's really loud!

It was the middle of the night and I didn't want to have to pay for a visit to the ER, so I calmed myself the hell down and started trying to google up a solution. Google search results for "spider in ear" were not loving helpful at all. I kept coming up with poo poo like "My cousin got a spider in his ear and it ate his brain." Eventually I started searching for "insect ear removal" and the like. That's when I learned that it's actually perfectly safe to put alcohol in your ear.

So the plan was to pour alcohol in my ear and kill the thing and go to the GP the next day to get it removed. So I laid on my side and had the wife pour 90% isopropyl alcohol into my ear. Lo and behold the thing crawls up out of my ear as it dies, once again my wife says "creepy". I saved it in a tupperware container for a while in case my ear fell off at a later date and I needed something to show to the people at the hospital. But this story has a happy ending, I still have both ears and the spider is little more than a dried up husk in a plastic container somewhere on a shelf in my office.

I forget exactly what program & channel it was on but there was something I saw years ago that touched on spider bites and it told a story about a woman who kept waking up with tons of red sores. Her doctor noticed something a bit odd about said sores when she finally came in.

Turned out she had a poo poo ton of brown recluses living between her mattresses and they'd come out at night. When she moved in her sleep she'd get bitten.
