I have contact lenses so assume I am safe.

Habbibu · 07/09/2010 21:48

A warped LOTF? Because the original was so very genteel?

warthog · 07/09/2010 21:48

yanbu

but not up to you to decide what's on and s'not of course.

YABVU - it's like a warped Lord of the Flies all of the time Grin

Tippychoocks · 07/09/2010 21:50

Habbibu Grin It's a good point well made.

Ha ha! Good description. Yes it is.

BollockstheSpider · 07/09/2010 21:53

It's ME again!!

spider zooms in

spider zooms out

Admire my impressive legs as I whizz past

I spit on your lazy cats

HAR! HAR!

ApocalypseFlangePop · 07/09/2010 21:55

It's warped as in via the net, people who hide behind screens to cause upset..... and I know it's part and parcel with dipping your toe in here but some of the levels I see people stooping to are downright low.

Compared to AIBU lord of the flies seems like Mary Farkin Poppins at times !

Can spiders spit?

ApocalypseFlangePop · 07/09/2010 22:06

Probably, theyre evil things.

I swear the one glaring at me in the bath the other morning was wearing clogs, bloody things.

I was sitting in the bath once when a huuuuuge spider dropped from the ceiling onto my leg...

I never get into the bath now without checking the ceiling.

Belle, presuming that your profession does not involve you meeting arachnids with regularity, you are forgiven.

The then 30-something former gardener friend of mine who would run shreiking out of the bathroom and ask all 5 foot 3 of me to rescue him from a rogue, pinhead sized spider is less so.

The built-like-a-brick-shithouse 6 foot tall ex-dog warden, now pest controller friend of mine who is also a nightclub bouncer and who is scared witless of spiders is even less so still! :o

Poor fellas!

Ha, good job they do not live where I do where I regularly walk into a gigantic web most mornings. Huntsman spiders, big as yer hand and bitey buggers too. Not poisonous mind...

Once had one in the car (was an old banger) and the blasted thing skittered along the seatbeat. I was making a right hand turn too...managed not to scream or have an accident...unlike poor Huntsman who was pounded with the loose cover of the storage thingy in the car.

And Grin at LOTF!

BelleDameSansMerci · 08/09/2010 08:23

"Poor Huntsman"? Hsh - one down, several million to go Grin

Actually, I don't really like killing spiders but I really don't like them. I try to catch them and put them outside but I'm sure the little sods just come back in again...

drfayray · 08/09/2010 08:30

Well I did not like killing that one..but I can still feel its skittering legs across my face...it deserved to die for that, don't you think?

And if you let them go, they will return Grin.

I let the ones in garden live as they keep the flies under control. Just do not like the feeling of web across the face of a morning.

YANBU.

Poor Piggy probably admitted to using formula and then made a greengrocer's error, Ralph couldn't get anyone to understand logic or budget.

Jack had a sn child and was on benefits.

The airman stuck in the tree with his parachute was TTC - so close yet so far.

SkiHorseWonAWean · 08/09/2010 08:38

Simon had wandered over from netmums...

Floopy21 · 08/09/2010 08:51

By starting this thread, I think you've just made yourself Piggy...

scottishmummy · 08/09/2010 09:01

what a bundle of confused metaphors.all the oh my very gosh faux moral high ground about aibu is laughable.laydeees snorting pomanders because someone had a wee on screen spat with someone else

the feeding topic and feminist toics are full of aggro too.suggest y'all skip over see some flambé action

i like aibu,it is generally v funny has the fair few cringetastic moments too.but sheet volume traffic tells me it is v popular

ApocalypseAuntie · 08/09/2010 09:37

oink, oink ! Grin
