Something hilarious I noticed.

I was looking in the classifieds, and I realised how bad "Seeking mature males" "Want to trade/sell/buy a mature female" would sound to someone given no context, but to us arachnopeople it's a completely normal thing to want. We really are a weird bunch, huh?

Hilarious.

Hilarious.

Can't tell if that's sarcasm but I find it funny.

Never thought of it that way. XD

It's an interesting thought at least.

Lol you're right quite funny

"I'm looking for juvenile females" suddenly has a much more sinister ring to it

 

[Andrew Clayton]

@The Grym Reaper I knew there was something about you lol thought it would have been juvenile males though

 

[MintyWood826]

"Oh yeah I'm so excited I finally found a mature male can't wait for him to come in the mail!"

(Not a true story)

Na, that's more the style of Conservative party MPs

I wonder if the FBI ever mistakenly checks those ads out - "Ah hell, just those tarantula weirdos again"

Oh good God... FBI OPEN UP!

 

[Blonc]

Is To Catch a Predator still going? It would be hilarious to have them pull off a sting op against a tarantula enthusiast after failing the requisite preparations and get totally shocked when they realised the situation.

You have no jurisdiction here

 

[notanarachnophobe]

Right then uhh... MI5 OPEN UP!

 

[PidderPeets]

Don't forget that the mature male sometimes gets eaten by the female, and occasionally vice versa (Is that treading too close to breaking forum rules?)

Yup we do our best. You know, to distract from the rest of the site.

Yep. But this without not even mentioning the language. Same language, English, but there's an abyss between the UK and American one when hearing that

@FinnMosin I live in the UK (and the FBI is a domestic agency with very little power outside the US IIRC), if anyone from across the pond was going to come banging on my door it'd be the CIA, and even that is pretty unlikely.
