[kurisute_hasu]

You shop for Ts, research different species, surf arachnoboards even though the Super bowl is on.

 

[Mr. Mordax]

Superwhat? I'm sorry, I was trying to ID a scorpion.

Oh, or if you are infamous for "correcting" movies/TV about the portrayal of arachnids, or for giving the wrong scientific name.
I got yelled at by some friends, watching some "b movie" about the 'Island of Tarantulas" or something like that.... The giant (don't even need to get into physics) tarantula had webbing comming out of it's face.... arrgh! (Oh and that all spiders hunt people)

That's what's so great about B-Movies, their info is so wrong it makes for a good laugh. Trust me I watch at least 10 B-movies (new & old) a week.

13: Your biology proffesor wants to take a feild trip to YOUR house for class one day

I don't have anything along those lines but everybody I know who has a son wants to bring their kid(s) to my house. As far as I know I'm the only person in my entire city with a collection like mine so the running joke is my house is the city exotic zoo.

 

[Stylopidae]

As far as I know I'm the only person in my entire city with a collection like mine so the running joke is my house is the city exotic zoo.

When I was doing my internship for my Zoo, the busiest keepers had ~10 species to take care of.

I care for roughly 30 species of invert...thousands of individuals (if you include roaches).

I have the feeling we both do the work of a zookeeper

i've finally reached the end of the thread hehe. Got a couple to add.


One from my mum - When you decide your going to spread your husbands ashes in the peat moss once he is cremeted - Just because he doesnt like the Ts.

And Mine -

When you are tempted to leave the 2.5cm P.regalis on the ceiling as they look so cute there.

When you push the cricket towards the spider as the cricket is not going in the right direction.

 

[spider_fan]

When you think that it would better if rappers, instead of weaing diamond studded platinum crosses for bling, wore small terreriums with a P. metallica inside on their platinum chains.

 

[Transylvania]

Your favorite band is Metallica, only because it sounds like the name of your favorite T.

You'd love to have a roach infestation in your house.

 

[Sicel1304]

When the link for the "Arachnoboards" forum gets one of your coveted "Quick launch" tabs on the top of your internet browser

When you check the forums on a daily basis to see what is new.

14. You refuse to quit your part time, dead end job because it would mean not being able to acquire more spiders.

[Anastasia]

[funnylori]

You realize you haven't shaved your legs in eight weeks because you like the way the hairs pick up the vibrations in the room and enhance your 'spidey senses'. You realize this is after you go out on a nice date with your fiance to an expensive resturant, and you contimplated wearing knee high striped socks with your dress because you didn't want people laughing at you in public.

When hairy gfs are a prerequisite to a happier relationship. Ew, gross parallel! The hairier the merrier!

[Selenops]

Uh-oh, this thread is quickly going down the burrow er gutter. Boy, what I wouldn't do to have eight legs and plush skin right about now.

;P

 

[fartkowski]

you're always checking the discovery channel in hopes of getting even a glimpse of a spider

you get bit, and your first reaction is to post it in the bite reports

when you record all the molt dates

when none of the tupperware containers have lids cause you are using them for water dishes

when you have a list handy of all the species you want

when you move furnatue around because you may be able to squeeze another bookshelf in for more cages

when you buy water dishes, hides, containers for sizes of T's you do not yet own

when you played for a hockey team named the spiders

when your mouse pointer is a spider

you'll buy anything that has a spider on it

you babytalk to your T's when nobody is around

when you can easily think of something to write in this thread

when your friends have dreams about your spiders

when you go to the pet store to buy 3 medium crickets because your juvie b.smithi may not be ready to handle a large one yet

everytime you see a ruler you have to point out to someone that your blondi may grow to be this big

 

[DFW Tfan]

you babytalk to your T's when nobody is around

You babytalk to your Ts when people ARE around!

 

[fartkowski]

you can't figure out how to use the microwave but you can build cages and incubaters and raise slings fresh from the sack
