If it's as big as nomesque described, it could be cruelty against MR members!
Maybe we should send in a team - I'm sure zelda, Florence & Am will volunteer!!

Sounds like a case of the DT's. Have a drink. If the spider joins you, run!

Don't be ridiculous. That's the hyenas meat locker. It's on the lefthand side, in the "Vlad the Impaler Memorial Wing". The bar is on the right. It's called "The Rabid Werewolf Pub: Where The Wild Get Weird!" You're invited, too!

oh my!

well I am getting ready to transplant the seedlings that the cat left me, (he dug up a bunch, and then he took the markers from the rest), outside. most of them are getting leggy, time for them to be in the ground

Hah! Obviously you have never seen the Cockroach Special Forces in action! Come to think of it, neither have I. It will be a world premiere, a revelation. The true power of the cockroach will be revealed. The spider doesn't stand a chance. We will conquer the world!

It probably won't matter how you ask, or what you bribe them with, if it's anything like my team, the micro usb cables have all long since vanished to charge phones, cameras and maybe a reader or two...

I'll be glad to volunteer to help co-ordinate a team. Zelda, Florence - shall we have cakes and pastries whilst we decide who to send?

"We"?

You got up this morning in a different form than you had when you went to bed last night?

Actually, the spider is welcome here. What I get is giant waterbugs, that look like cockroaches on steroids. A really big spider would be about right for those. An ordinary spider would not. The waterbugs would be a lot bigger than it is.

Of course, the glue traps I put out for the mice do an effective job on the bugs, too.

Don't make me bring back the BorgChick'n and assimilate the spider! You won't like it!!

Besides, b/c of the volcanic ash you can't move said spider through your air space. Hah!
