I screamed like a school girl.....
 

Holy crap....I wasn't looking where I was going earlier today and found this damn thing 2 inches from my nose.

I screamed like aschool girl, nearly fell on my ass while back peddlingand then couldn't stop laughing at myself.

:D:D:D:D:D:D--- (Hell, I was still grinning at my own dumb ass.. after going back to the truck for thecamera and while taking the shot)

Stupid things are everywhere this year.....and fat as hell.....from leg tip to leg tip, this guy was close to 3 inches in dia.

Pretty harmless though, never had one bite me....Just a plain old Texas Field Spider.

That's just wrong...................I nearly passed out from the pic.[:@] Some of us do scream like a little girl when they see a spider.[:o]

Ask my wife, she has had to save me many times.:D:D

All spiders need to be squashed!!!!!

Drew: Sometimes they do, sometimes not....Maybe it's a male / female thing...They all act different.

Normally, I'm not bothered by spiders as long as I see them...But this one caught me off guard.

There is another vulgar looking brown type that I have named the "Boingy-Boingy" spider. Those insidious
little bastards can build a web across a sidewalk in two minutes flat and when you inevitably walk through
the web, they ALWAYS, I mean ALWAYS, hit you in the forehead and do this boingy-boingy dance thing till you
can knock them off. Many a beer has been lost to these vile little bastards......Cause you drop what ever you
have in hand and start slapping away....Evil creatures....making folks waste perfectly good beers....[:@][:@][:@]

I got bit by a Brown Recluse when I was about 6. Still have the war wound on the inside of my lower leg. DAMN I HATE SPIDERS. You woulda had to carry me back to the house if I had been with you.

I go spider hunting couple times a week. I live on Lake St.Clair, and where there is a lake, there are bugs, and where there is bugs = SPIDERS. Except these Big Brown Juicy cheese buckets live on anything parked outside. I do battle with them on the boat, and on the Hummer. Garage is full of olsmobiles. Everynight they creep out and f>>> up my clean truck. Can't leave the windows down or they move in.

Gunner......I had one drop down from the visor right in front of me on the I94 & I696 interchange going the speed limit of course, I about lost it right there. I'm laughing now, but scared the bejeebers out a me. THEY DO GROW EM BIG IN TEXAS!
