The office I'm working in right now has spiders as big as the palm of your hand.

I used to have one of these 5" garden spiders living amongst my gladioli.

Not beautiful enough to keep me from pancaking that thing on sight.

It's just a photo, so I can have a reasonable discussion about it. I assure you, if I came face to face with one, I would freak out like the girliest girl you've ever met and assuming I didnt fall dead from a heart attack, run the other direction at the speed of sound.
 
I don't have any heebie jeebies unless they are actually on me... We have one of those huge ones living under the eve, and the web is bitchin... My wife took some cool pictures... Snakes are cool creatures, too, and I guess growing up in rattlesnake country has made me used to them... The creatures that make me feel vulnerable when I'm out in the middle of nowhere dirt biking are mountain lions... Still, I fear humans more than critters...
 
His name is George, he enjoys Chinese food and long walks on the beech. He is in a 12 step program and hasn't eaten anything bigger than a cricket for 2 days. Yes he fell off the wagon and ate a 12 year old a couple of days ago. He has an excellent sense of humor, is well read and always buys top shelf liquor so it's actually fun to hang out with him. He is a divorced father of 1200 and he is currently single ladies. He has a pet flea named rover and lives in the crack in the corner.
 
I should not have reopened this thread. The added pics just freaked me out. I'll hold and play with snakes without much of a problem - but big spiders? Nuclear weapons....
 
coincidentally... found this video over at Sports Illustrated:

I knew a guy who is a street fighter for money, can do back flips on his bicycle, and has no fear... except spiders... It is mind boggling to see such a crazy tough guy melt like a 2 year old girl if he even sees a tiny spider... Of course, since I don't fear spiders, I had a lot of fun messing with him...

Little spiders do not bother me. Just big ones.
