So "Venom ER" is on TV, and there's this kid in the hospital who was bitten by a black widow spider.
My roommate hasn't been watching, and he asks, "What kind of snake was he bitten by?"
I say, "a black widow spider"
He says, "I've never heard of a black widow spider snake"

Yeah.

I hate spider snakes. Always slithering around on their, uh, legs.

You know what I hate? Rainbows.

"You'll just be sitting there, minding your own business, and they'll come marching in, and crawl up your leg, and start biting the inside of your a$$, and you'll be all like, "Hey! Get out of my a$$ you stupid rainbows!""

He was dead serious, he had no idea I was talking about a spider and not a snake.

Maybe he thought it was like those fatass spider scorpion things that were posted on here sometime last March or so. Some animals have names from different species, maybe he's just thinking like that.

Yeah, after the exchange in the first post, I repeated myself a couple times and then he says, "...OH! ok."

It sounds like your roomie has more important things on his mind, like maybe sex, booze, drugs and rock n roll. :D

Does he work for a grocery store? This sounds suspiciously stupid enough to be a caller for my company.

This is TGG, right? I love how you post roommate stories when your roomie reads the forums. :)
