        I love spiders, really like to see them; but they don’t have a chance against the cats. The cats play small creatures to death.

        Palmetto bugs though? I am so irrationally freaked out by them, I do ask the man, or my kids, to handle those. There was a next top model episode where the ladies walked with big hissing cockroaches, pet ones, and I would have been right out of there like a rocket.

        But ask me to hold your pet tarantula? Heck yes! Cute fuzzy spider.

          2nd night in Florida I was renting a shitty room and the bathroom didn’t have a light. Something was flapping around in there, thought, “How the hell a bat get in here?” Turned on my flashlight and saw my first palmetto bug.

      Yeah. For me it’s be like: if we die then at least we’ll die together.

      NOW WIFE, PREPARE THE FALCONUS GIGANTICUS FOR COMBAT, FOR WE RIDE NOW INTO BATTLE ON THE PEREGRINE WINGS OF GENDER EQUALITY AND RECIPROCAL ORAL SEX, BUT IN A MORE IMPORTANT, MORE LITERAL WAY ON THE WINGS OF THIS BIG ASS BIRD.

        Pro-tip: become a principled spider advocate. “I think they do more good than harm if you just leave them be. If you want it out, you can deal with it…”
