Master  2232    Des Moines, Iowa |  Subject: Spiders....I'm such a chicken....OK...I'm sitting on the deck last night reading and doing some research. My wife comes out and her eyes get as big as silver dollars, and her mouth drops to the floor. I'm like, "hey...what's wrong." She doesn't say anything, but keeps looking at me and pointing with that "look". I'm starting to get creeped out. I get up to walk in the house and she gasps..."don't come in." I'm starting to freak. Come to find out I had a HUGE spider sitting on my shoulder. I didn't see it, but I guess it jumped off of me when I got up and ran off the deck. Shhhhuuuuddddeeeerrrr....!!! I hate it when that happens!!! What a wimp.....do I get my man-card pulled for that? |

Yea, yea, yea :-)

Yes, but your man card is immediately reinstated for refering to "drinking beer" as "doing some research." Exactly what I was thinking. Besides, there's nothing wrong with being STARTLED by some insect crawling on you. It's the being SCARED part that gets the card pulled. There's a difference. I suspect you were STARTLED. Right? (psst, go with it.)

Thanks....I was actually a Hawkeye fan before an ISU fan, due to my Dad's fanaticism :-) Now I consider myself a "dual" fan and actually a fan of "all-things-Iowa". You're not going to be at the "Dutchman Tri" in Pella are you? Edited by shawn barr 2006-06-09 12:02 PM |

If startled includes almost wetting yourself...yea, that was it. I was startled!! :-) |

| Champion 34263 Chicago | Subject: RE: Spiders....I'm such a chicken.... OK I'm not AFRAID of spiders but, yes, they startle me when I don't know they're there and they start to move. Same with snakes. I can walk up to a snake or spider and pick it up no problem but I don't like being snuck up on. So you maintain your man card. Oh and if you were a Husker fan you could be scared of both snakes AND spiders and still maintain your man card. |

In my house you better not be "doing research" on the deck.....or you get to clean up the pile...
Oops....I think this was better meant for the poop thread last week! |
