How much cash would it take for you to run through this?

[lxskllr]

lol

Really? I guess I don't get it. Haven't you ever walked through a web on accident before? I know I have and I didn't find it gross, scary or anything close. It did piss me off when it got in my mouth but that's about it.

I've reached my thread quota for the day. Someone start a thread asking what ATOT is/isn't afraid of.

My problem is I don't know where the spider is. I've walked through that many webs before, but not clumped up like that. We get these weird spiky backed spiders here, and if you see one in the woods, there's likely a million more, with webs strung between every pair of trees that are close enough together.

Anyway, I'm cool with spiders if I know where they are, and they aren't on me. I don't even kill them when I find them in the house, but walking through webs creeps me out.

As long as they're North American spiders and none are brown recluses or black widows, I'll drop my price to $10 and a nice cold beer. You guys are a bunch of pansies when it comes to spiders.

 

[MustangSVT]

are they poisonous?

 

[JTsyo]

Back at my parents house, I used to always walk into webs when taking out the trash. The trash cans were kept at the side of the house. There was a hedge to the side of the house and spiders used to make webs between the hedge and the house. If it was dark out you wouldn't see the web until it was on your face. Not fun but nothing more than annoying.

as long as they are not poisonous, I'd do it on a dare.
I don't get people's fear of spiders (that said, I am emailing this to a friend of mine immediately).

 

[zokudu]

100

 

[bignateyk]

Those look like black widows, so at least a million dollars. If they were harmless, I'd do it for $100.

 

[Krazy4Real]

$5K

black widows don't live out in the open like that.

 

[preslove]

$10,000.

 

[soulcougher73]

Oh hell no. I hate spiders.

 

[Zee]

holy fuck. 200

 

[coloumb]

This would make for some good tv... maybe an episode of Jackass.

My price - at least $10k. I'd have way too many nightmares after running through that web of death.

 

[AyashiKaibutsu]

Probably about 500k.

Even if they were BR or BW spiders, do you think you would get bitten? Probably not, but even then, like a wasp sting. Those scare photos on the internet only happen to people that have super bad reactions to the venom. That doesn't happen to anyone who gets bitten, even bad bites. No NA spider is going to paralyze or kill you unless you're allergic.

Oh and the thing about Photoshop...

Wearing one of those suits they use in a cleanroom? any price.

Normal street clothes, $100,000 I would do it with an ambulance on the other side running the engine and ready with the anti-venom

 

[lord_emperor]

Enough to ease financial stress for the rest of my life, pay for post traumatic stress councilling, pay for spider-proofing my house and a lot of alcohol.

 

[DaTT]

I won't even look at that pic again for less than a hundred bucks.

I had one of those big furry hunter spiders in a pair of old sneakers that I only wore when I was going to be fishing and wading into the water. I slipped one foot in, then the other foot in. As my toe squished the spider, he decided to let loose with one hell of a bite. I've been stung by hornets, wasps, honeybees. Most of the time, I just acknowledge the fact that I got stung, and in the case of some, crush the offender so he doesn't sting me again. I even have felt bad for the honeybees, knowing that it was probably my fault that they are going to die.

That spider bite stopped me from going fishing. I used ice and everything else I could think of to try to stop the pain. Garden spiders that accidentally get into the house by the window and make a web? I help them get back outside. Those fuzzy jumper hunter things? I squish on sight.

Part of the thing is it bit you where you have more nerver endings per square inch that any other part of your body. I was never in more pain in my life than when I got hit in the front of my big toe by a baseball, driving the nail back into my toe. That had me on crutches for a day and limping for quite some time. Beat botulism, and that felt like a live badger in my stomach. You were also super unlucky to get bitten before gravity made you the winner.

On the flip side, I am just like you; see a poisonous bastard in house, it's dying.
