I think I killed a medic. - Page 4

**Rain Man** · 07-04-2005, 11:15 AM

I was sitting at my dining room table with my wife, and all of a sudden this spider ran across the floor. I had a newspaper, and so I squashed it.

About five minutes later, a second spider of the same species as the first ran across the floor on an identical path. I squashed it, too, and then started thinking about it. I wonder if the second spider was a medic or something, because it had to see the first spider get smashed, and it ran directly toward it with no regard for its own risks.

I have a feeling I'm going to get a rebuke from the Red Cross soon.

I pray for the day that someday I can find the strength of character to overcome my prejudices and sit down to dinner with a spider and enjoy a pleasant evening over some wine and flies.

We had an infestation of lady bugs this year. Actually someone said they were a beetle that just looks like a lady bug. At any given time we would have a dozen or so crawling around on the celing of the living and dining rooms. So I got a jar and caught them all. In a few days there woud be a bunch more so I'd repeat the process. I kept them in the jar unitl they were dead. Spiders I just mash.

RainMan, Killing spiders, medic or not- perfectly acceptable in my book. I have been bitten by spiders that have sent me to the emergency room in the past. So by killing spiders, especially spiders who help other spiders, you are doing Angel-kind a grand favor. Kudos to you!

Brown recluse?

Also, you should know that killing medics is simply unacceptable.

The second spider was obviously a rookie patrol officer that should have checked the scene to make sure the murdered had left.

Kevin, we don't take kindly to cop killers in these parts.

She graduated and moved in with a mutual friend of ours back in KC so she can work for her dad. So for the rest of the month, I've got a three bedroom apartment completely empty... She still loiters around here abit, but I don't think she has her internet set up yet at her new digs.

Didn't realise that Angel had already responded. Uhh... Ignore that last post...

Welcome to my world. Well, at least the "without purpose in life" part.

And, Kevin, you probably just slaughtered a mother and father, and some baby spider is somewhere cold and alone, tears in his eyes.

Well done!

How's the offer coming along?

That second spider had never been in NAM or he/she would never have ventured into the hot LZ knowingly that a newspaper sniper was out there taunting him with a wounded comrade.

A combat worn veteran spider would have known the trickery of your actions.

You now have battle scared spiders in your home my man. I hope you have your defenses ready?

What mcan's post says now:

She graduated and moved in with a mutual friend of ours back in KC so she can work for her dad. So for the rest of the month, I've got a three bedroom apartment completely empty... She still loiters around here abit, but I don't think she has her internet set up yet at her new digs.

What mcan's post said last night:

She graduated, and to celebrate we had a threesome with Angelina Jolie. Well, Angelina and I hit it off and angel got kind of jealous, so she moved out, going back to KC so she can work with her dad. So for the rest of the month, I've got a three bedroom apartment completely empty except for Angelina's toothbrush in my medicine cabinet...She still loiters around here a bit. As for angel, I don't think she has her internet set up yet at her new digs.

Stay out of combat. You're likely to frag one of your own. You're too jumpy.

I'm already feeling some post-traumatic stress.

The horror....The horror....

I saw a movie about spiders with some toxic waste mixing not long ago. I hope you didn't accidently start a mutant variation that will get bigger and attack all of mankind!!! You could have started the Bug War of all time!!!
