Searching Craigslist Even as We Speak
We found the Beast from Hell.
It was creeping across the floor in the living room.
There is a small urine stain on the carpet where I happened to be standing when we saw it.
We are replacing the carpet with hardwood floors anyway, so that’s OK, I guess.
The entire family (except me, who refused to go) went out to Pet Smart and got supplies/cage/vittles for the thing.
They took the tarantula with them so s/he could help pick out cages.
They came back and cooed while the thing devoured and sucked the life out of a poor, defenseless cricket.
They have named it “Christmas” or “Jasmine” depending on who you ask what its name is.
I am currently doing IntarWeb searches for a small apartment that is affordable, close to work and close to our house. (Ha!)
These people are all totally bonkers and I’m pretty sure I can’t live under the same roof as that thing.
That is all.
If I ever get a pet tarantula I’m going to name it Toledo. Then when I say hello I’ll use my vast Spanish lexicon and say, “Hola Toledo!”
*rimshot*Posted by Radioactive Jam on 09/12/07 at 05:35 AMSeriously? The thing is now a pet? Yikes!
Posted by NerdGirl on 09/12/07 at 09:38 AMI KNOW!
I’m not exactly terrified of the thing. Well, I guess I am a little.
But I do have a hard time seeing the thing as a PET!
*yeesh*

You so very correct. They are LUCKY to have me!
LUCKY, I say!
(Yes, I do feel vindicated now, thank you very much)

Really, I'm glad you made it down here. Almost no one ever comes down here. I'm like in a freaking dungeon down here. I get lonely. But not you. YOU made it all the way to the end of the page. For this I think I've a little crush on you. I don't know, is "love" to strong a word to use in this situation? Well, if it's not "love," then it's very strong "like." I'm totally in like with you for coming down here. You are awesome. Please love me back! I know, I know, I shouldn't be all needy, it's not attractive at all, but you don't know how it is to be stuck down here. Who scrolls all the way to the end of a page anymore these days? Anyway, thanks for shedding some light down here in the depths. I appreciate it. Shoot me an email and I'll send you a dollar, OK?
