Were you once in a boy band? I’m sure I’ve seen you before.

Hi Albie,

Do all the 'ooh a spider you must burn your house to the ground' comments on MN bore your spidery tits off?

IncompleteSenten · 19/11/2021 13:50

Just how weird do humans look?

You look soft and fuzzy. Are you soft and fuzzy or will you eat me?

charabanctrip · 19/11/2021 13:52

I don't want my house to be burned down Sad it is sad that humans are scared of us.

you are very cute Albie!
are you ticklish?
do you like to be tickled?
what's your favourite biscuit?😉

charabanctrip · 19/11/2021 13:53

I take great pride in being soft and fuzzy, but my fuzz comes out and can irritate human skin so it looks nicer than it is. I use it to defend myself by kicking the fuzz onto my enemies and they then run away screaming Grin

What do flies taste like?

charabanctrip · 19/11/2021 13:56

My favourite biscuits are cricket flavoured cookies and I'm not ticklish. My mum gets me to move along by tickling my bottom with a paintbrush, but I find this to be undignified and I'd sooner she didn't do it Hmm

🤣 at paintbrush nudging

charabanctrip · 19/11/2021 13:58

Flies are too small for me so I eat crickets. They're crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. They taste a bit like prawns. It takes me a long time to eat a cricket because I don't have any teeth.

do you rub your willy on wet clothes that are left outside to dry after dark?

Aroundtheworldin80moves · 19/11/2021 13:59

What do you think is a good rental fee to allow spiders to live in my house? What about the shed?

And is it acceptable to evict those who refuse to pay?

(I'm jealous of your human for having such a fascinating pet... or is the human your pet?)

Here's another selfie.

I don't have a willy because I'm a girl Grin

Spiders should always be allowed to live where we like because we're amazing and awesome Grin

I wanted to ask that one Angry

WinifredTheWondrous · 19/11/2021 14:04

Why are you called Albie? Is it short for Albert?

kajsyt · 19/11/2021 14:04

How fast can you run?

WhateverIdo · 19/11/2021 14:05

Why do you need 8 legs you ugly little ?

AlbasJudgementalCrucifix · 19/11/2021 14:05

Is it true you taste through your feet? If so what’s the strangest thing you’ve tasted on your humans hand??

charabanctrip · 19/11/2021 14:05

Spiders don't have willies. The boy spiders get us pregnant by rubbing our tummys with their hands Grin

If we're hungry we eat them afterwards.

Hi Albie! What happens when your people go on holiday? Do you have a spider-sitter?
