Video of the Day Lunchtime Quickie: What Are You Thankful For?

Posted by Kelly O on Fri, Nov 25, 2011 at 12:10 PM

I'm thankful that I do not live in Texas. I think I would die if 20-30 of these showed up at my house. I'm not even joking.

Molly Keck can invade my trap door any time.

Kingdom of the Spiders!

When I was a kid living in south Texas, we'd run out into the yard after heavy rains and play with the tarantulas that'd been flooded out of their holes and were crawling around the packed dirt and stubby grass.

Those were happy days.

I, too, am thankful I don't live in a nightmare world full of spider-monsters and Republicans.

Aw, poor trapdoor spiders. They have been homelessed by a storm like so many Louisianans.

@#1:

You may want to be a bit cautious, MS. Keck is big into spiders, and you you know what a female spider does with her mate when she's done with him...

When I lived in Oklahoma one of those spiders got into my house. I shot it with a blowgun and nailed it to the wall. Then I moved to Seattle.

One of my Texas friends has told me more than once that you get to choose in a fair chunk of the state whether you want to live with spiders or scorpions as your periodic nuisance.

When my father did some post-graduate work at Oklahoma State back in the 1970s, we were given all sorts of advice to ensure our apartment in married student housing wasn't attractive to wolf spiders and still ended up having to flush one or two down the toilet.
