So I was mowing the lawn yesterday and walked into a HUGE spiderweb

What a lovely little shelob...and from the sounds of it, she's working hard to keep your place free of nasty insects.

That is an Elephantasis orboratic weaver.

Its webbing is toxic and causes elephantitis approximately 36 hours after contact.

Sorry.

Tell us when one weaves a web with the word Wilbur in it.

When spiders get that big the best way to kill them is to use a hard cover book. Open the book, insert spider, slam book shut. Throw the book into the garbage.

Throw kerosene in the trashcan, calmly toss smoldering cigar in while walking away in slow motion. Fuck spiders.

the smoldering fire will act as a homing beacon for the necessary surgical air strike that will drop a fuel air bomb to take out three city blocks.

Three city blocks will act as yet another homing beacon for the necessary several hundred megaton bomb that will incinerate the South Eastern United States and potentially some outlying countries.

When it comes to spiders - I turn into a crying scared little girld... I can't stand them...

If there is a hell - that's what my punishment will be - being tormented by spiders.

Awww, you made a friend. Put him in a dark corner of your home and he'll eat bugs for you. Spiders are great.

I looked to see where you lived and wasn't surprised to find you were pretty close to me. I see these things all the darn time and they're way too big for my comfort. Hate when they cling to the side of the house.

Unfortunately now that deer season has started up again it will soon be time for these motherfuckers to show up again. I wouldn't care so much if they weren't so damn big.. when they can cover my face.. They're too damn big.
