 michellezm says: Bombing down the freeway a few years ago, a movement caught my eye, it was a baboon spider emerging from underneath my dashboard. Imagine my surprise! I couldn't stop and had to keep driving, praying all the while that it did not venture up the steering column. Fortunately it sat on the speedometer and started at me with malevolent eyes. I screamed into the nearest turnoff which happened to be a service station, leaped out and danced around as if I were on fire. Fortunately for me a man of some guts and substance took control of the situation and gently coaxed it out. Generally I'm not averse to spiders, but that 'up close and personal' was more than I could bear. It looked like the spider in the last picture. Very beautiful - at a civilized distance. Awesome animal! *shudder* Michelle, the visual of your experience is priceless!  I'm glad youre ok Michelle...looks like one mean mother... I did the leaping and jumping fire danceI once walked straight into a HUGE spider's web at a gas station, with the just as HUGE homeowner still sitting right in the middle of it. Not only did I do the leaping and jumping fire dance, I was screaming and chucking off all my clothes at the same time, trying to get this *Mother of all Spiders* OFF me!! Luckily, it was a remote place so the only audience, was my S.O. but he laughed and laughed and thought it was the funniest thing he had ever seen. I ended up with a semi-black eye for apparently having slapped myself during the whole "dance" routine. Afterwards, (since I survived) it was all pretty funny. My S.O even has a... LOLOLOLOLOL! TNCBT & Alanocu. Glory, you guys are funny. You've given m the best laugh of the week. Thanks. It was indeed a very 'hairy' experience. (As an aside, I had another encounter of the nasty kind some years ago in the out-house on a primitive farm I was visiting. Disturbed a nest of wasps and was seen doing the ritual firedance with my brookies (underwear) around my ankles to the vast amusement of a dozen people. I was like a whirling dervish as the entire swarm delivered sting after sting after sting). I spent the rest of the weekend lying face down and butt up. It was so humiliating). Hahahaha! Ahh, the mental image is priceless! No picture of that michellezm? *LOL* Ouch! Poor you! I once inadvertently stood on top of a soldier ants' nest and suddenly had hundreds if not thousands of the little buggers launch a shock and awe campaign against me. Ugh... That was the time I did my "River Dance" routine instead. Aaah, I just love the natural world. .   Great way to start the day! You guys kill me! |
