LPS employees just find things that sound interesting, I swear it's a game they play to see what utter crap people will buy into.

I annoys me just a tad.

i still can't get over the guy that looked at the items I had for the enclosure (cocofiber, fake plants/vines, furniture and the like) and he asked, "Oh so you give spiders things like they have in nature?"

:wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall:

there should be a law that allows people 1 slap per day. you would have to take a test to ensure you are worthy of administering such a slap. maybe it would give people incentive not to be morons.

Hehehe!!

In that case, I would enjoy watching how big the load of crud would get before I'd need a wheel barrel. {D

I'd probably go up to such an employee and ask every new T owner question in the book (pretending to be very interested and excited about the 'advice') before telling her how the "mysterious, creepy-crawly world of tarantulas" is.

Yes, I'm in a mean mood today. :evil:

I guess nobody else sees the cute humor in that statement.. A lady always keeps her legs crossed!

Lmfao!!

What is the spinneretts are still spread apart and it's a female? Does that mean it's a tomboy T? J/K! {D

But no, I still do see the humor. I just hope she's not just trying to reel in costumers by her finger and is just having a dumb moment (dee-dee-dee as Carlos M. would say)

That doesn't make any sense. How is a male spider supposed to "hit it" if the female's spinnerets are crossed?

Hooray for public education!!!! I see Mr. W's "No Child Left Behind" initiative is working wonders already.....Hope I don't have to have brain surgery in 10 years....You know "Gullible" is no longer in the dictionary, right?

this reminds me of my preschool daughter- I over heard her explaining how to tell if it's a boy or girl... "if it has blue eyes it's a boy and if it has brown eyes it's a girl" She figured this one out on her own- she and mommy had brown eyes and daddy and bubba had blue eyes....good reasoning for a toddler.

when it's little kids it's cute, but when it is a paid employee- not so much
