Brown recluse spiders are small... and they are reclusive.

 

This was a about the size of a 50 cent piece. It was big for a recluse...

 

I knew it was one when I saw the dark fiddle on it's mid section.

 

 

I was surprised to see it as well.

 

 

Huh, even with their legs extended they are typically only the size of a quarter... must be inflation.

 

 

lol

 

Being an Exterminator I might know a thing or three about this,what you probably came across was a Wolf Spider and not a Recluse.Recluse spiders hide in dark dank garages in hot temperatures such as Nevada,Arizona etc.and are actually the size of a dime.

well it is possible, I think I read an internet article that the recluse was one of the most

misidentified spiders...

 

But man I tell ya it did have that symbol on the top. I actually looked at it for a minute

just to make sure I wasn't seeing anything.

 

The girl at the counter was like "what the hell are you waiting for kill it!!!!!"

 

 

:insane:

Story works better with the spider being a Brown Recluse. I'd maybe call it a Funnel Web for added effect... lol

Before we split, for my birthday my ex-wife outbid me on a PPSSM #1 (got into my eBay account and everything)..wrapped it in a sweater box so it was a good surprise.

 

Ummm... definately interesting but didn't that just cost you more money in the end? :o

I bought a full run of Swamp thing on ebay a while back. I live in Japan so usually people use flat rate box to ship. I asked the seller but he was all like: "I don't understand what you mean".

He sent the long box directly, no wrapping, nothing. Hopefully the comics was bagged and boarded. Everything arrived wet and the long box half broken.

 

I was lucky on this, the water didn't go inside the bags. So I reboarded and rebagged every comics and now they look nice.

Well, I don't have a story like that but I did receive a comic from a member of these boards, who will remain unmentioned, wrapped between two real estate guides (like the ones you get in the super market) and they were duct taped together. :doh: And it was a GL key book too!

 

Oh my God! was the book OK?

 

It made a 9.2 book come back 7.5. One of my first purchases on the boards so I didn't even bother taking out of the bag before sending it to be graded. I ate the grading costs and got my money back on the GL, though begrudgingly.
