What the crap hit me!
 

Friday night I was riding home and felt something hit me in the leg. I thought it was a rock or a bug but then I happened to look down and just above my right knee (about the size of a quarter) were MILLIONS of teeny tiny red spiders.

Freaked me right the EFF out. Pulled over and did the heebie jeebie dance until I got all those suckers off me.

What the hell hit me?! :scratch:

by process of deduction, i deduce that it was millions of teeny tiny red spiders.

Thanks smartass. :lmao:

I mean....was it a big sac of spiders.....how was it just flying in the air.....:panic:

ewwww, gross!!!

It was karma for posting that fathers day card :lol:

I don't know, but I hit a fucking armadillo friday night. We were going for a night ride, at about 3 AM. I saw several armadillos and raccoons dead on the side of the road, so I assumed this one was the same. Next thing I know, he is suicide scampering at me. Caught me off guard and didn't have time to react. I guess he bounced off of my front tire and hit my right footpeg. The bolt that holds my footpeg to the rear set was snapped, but that was the only damage.

I know, right!

Somebody will chime in about this but don't some momma spiders carry their babies on their back until they are "done"...? Momma spidy was just in the wrong place at the wrong time... :)

You got hit with the AIDS
A flying ball of AIDS.

That is never a good deal.

could have been scarlet mites. They are known to colonize. EWWW

Ok, some things I didn't ever want to know....

oh effffff THAT

Holy hell! That is the most disgusting pic I've ever seen! :cry:

Yes, and if they are disturbed, the babies swarm and go everywhere....ewwww....

Kell has the cooties!! Kell has the cooties!!:tremble:

Don't laugh, I was just thinking the little guys were probably looking for somewhere warm and dark to hide after the impact......:panic:

Well I did the heebie jeebie dance on the side of the road and got rid of all those little bastards. But I kept looking down at my leg for the rest of the ride....and got the shivers whenever I thought about it. Still makes me cringe.

Hokie, why? why did you have to post that picture?

I'm about to cry from heebie jeebies. :cry:

PHEW!!!

heebie jeebie dance cures AIDS and protects you from Jews.

You, my sweetest of dears = safe.

I can post up the pics of the bot fly larva in the eye, that prety much trumps all :lol:

Tom

Tom

Tom

Fuck that

just for the record I had NOTHING to do with that :lol:

Tom

:lol

One of my co-workers at the hospital in Philly had an imbeded bot fly larva in the back of his neck after coming back from Belize. He kept the damn thing in a bottle of formaldahyde on his desk. Yuck!!:tremble:

I heard a story on the radio about a guy who had one in his scalp and decided to let it grow and come out on its own. Nasty.

Disgusting, I'd be freaking out like a lil bitch if it were me.

The guy was an entomologist so I guess that explains it. :panic:

:lol

That's what I looked like this morning when I stepped out the door and into a spider web. I did the heebie jeebie dance all the way off the porch and to my car. I'm sure the neighbors thought I was having a seizure. :lmao:

That's one cool pic :rockwoot:

If I'd see it IRL I'd totally stare at if for a long time

I like the mites pics.

They look like caviar, with legs.

JC

HAHA!! Leave it to Kathy to find a pic like that! :lol:

That smilie needs to go in the list right there...lol

Good one. This is Erik when he sees a spider and me when I see a snake!

by the way, speaking of human/bug issues... Animal Planet has a show airing July 1 (I think) called Monsters Inside Me.

Looks like it'll be a great one for you bug-o-phobes.

Must have been a big-ass spider for you to feel it hitting your leg. Unless you were squiding and wearing shorts :lol:

In college my room mate found a tame white rabbit running around in the woods in Hampton, VA. She brought him home and named him Hampton. Hampton had a fly larvae coming out of his neck. It was as big around as my pinkie finger. :tremble:

We didn't know what it was, so called around until we could find a vet we could afford. :lol: He pulled the thing out with tweezers and proceeds to 'pet' it while we were squiriming around with the heebie geebies!! :lol: That left Hampton with a HUGE hole in his neck we had to put salve in. It was SO NASTY!!!!!!!!!!!

It felt like a rock hitting my leg. :td:

Um, NO!

Just the other night I almost stepped on the largest wolf spider I've ever seen as i was going out into the garage barefooted. It was easily 3"+ long on the legspan, had to look twice to make sure it wasn't a small tarantula as big as it was. I'm just glad it moved before I stepped off the last step onto the floor :D I did grab a shoe and smack that thing though, don't want him raiding the pantry at night. I'm also glad that one wasn't carrying babies!

reminds me of these internet gems such as

In light of my current banana spider plight, I just had to revive this thread for this post... funniest post EVAR regarding spiders. :lol:

LOL ah thank you!

After re-reading this thread, Kell should have been counting her blessings.

What if that thing hit her in the neck or the helmet? *shudder*

Thanks. I'm going back in time to shudder. :tremble::td:

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...... Oh wow. That's a seriously disturbing thought!

EWWWWWW! Most of the time spiders don't bother me but that many at one time Yuck!

Something came up at work just now that made me think of this thread and :lol


One of the developers got an error message telling him a section couldn't appear more than once (blah blah blah).... he sends it to one of the other managers asking "What's this mean?" That manager IM's it to me, laughing... and all I could think was "By process of deduction......"


I think he actually DID respond to the guy and say "millions of teeny tiny red spiders." :lol

I'm honored that my post has stuck with you for so long. I totally forgot about this.

:lol: What can I say, it stuck with me for some reason...

but it was a gem! lol everyone loves a smart ass.

Someone mentioned a Wolf spider, I found this one in my yard at our lake house this summer, look closeand you can see it's giant egg sack. BTW, that dish is 4" across!http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q...lot/spider.jpg

:lmao:

That fucker would have a .22 cal size hole through the middle of it if it showed up in my yard. Screeeeeeeew that.

qft

but you play with those buggers in school :lol:

I would kill it with fire, then shoot it just to be sure :rockwoot:

water spider bro

Dead spider.

And not even a very big one.

The ones on my pond could wrap their legs around that dish. They also move at the speed of light.

Camping at Deal's Gap at the end of the cross country trip drewpy and I went on a couple of years back, I woke up to one of those about 3" way from my head... it took every ounce of my being to stop myself from burning through a 15-round mag of hollow point .40 making sure it didn't touch me.

No, that's a wolf spider. They can walk across the surface of the water at a VERY fast rate of speed... those fuckers are like lightning. And BIG.

:lmao: I don't know how I missed this originally, but this thread is epic. and FUCK wolf spiders.

Whatever the fuck they are, they're creepy as hell. They not only walk on water, they follow you back and forth! *shudder*

You know who else walks on water, and follows you around?

This guy. :dthumb:

As covered up as I am whenever I ride, somehow a bee of some sort hit me in the sliver of the neck that wasn't covered by the jacket's mandarin color and the helmet's base, crawled down to my chest and stung the living shit out of me. I was slapping and punching my torso trying to kill that fucker while keeping control of the motorcycle. By the time I stopped and pulled over, my chest was throbbing with pain, I opened up the jacket and shirt to find a big welt and smeared bee parts.

And then there was this one time when a bird impacted my right shoulder and nearly threw me off the damn bike.

Almost makes me want to turn into a cager.
