The thing looked pretty pissed off to me when he put his hand in front of it, the way it raised its front legs.
That wasn’t what I would call a “small” spider either.

If you have a fear, wouldn’t you want to know which ones are rational to have a fear of?
Mine is NYC rats. Rats in general, but especially there. Those are some badass ninja motherfuckers. Any city with rats like that that doesn’t let you carry arms is off my list of places I’d live. Woof.

Poisonous or not, all spiders freak me the fuck out. No amount of Spider-Ed can change that.
Badass ninja rats don’t sound like much fun, either.

I learned something interesting about leprosy. The disease kills the nerve endings in your extremeties including your ears, nose, lips. Those parts don’t fall off, as I thought they did. What would happen is as the numbness in the hands and feet would progress they would cause damage which would not heal and the resultant infection and putrefication would cause them to rot off. And about the nose and ears… especially in the olden days, rats would eat the flesh and the sleepers would not feel them doing sooooo. Blech
uh… so rats inspired that post.

That actually is pretty interesting. Better they eat dead parts of me than living parts. Ugh… shudders
The rat scene I only saw once in The Bone Collector movie scarred me for life.
Wow, that’s wicked.
I wonder if Bear Grylls would eat…what am I saying? Of course he’d eat it.

I met Les Stroud, in the lobby of the Nat Geo Bldg. in DC where my sis’s bf works. I amazed myself at how little excitement I showed. I tried to match his completely tepid expression. He’s just as laid back and non-sensational as he is on his show. We chitchatted for about 15 minutes. Super nice guy, about as normal as it gets. Well, aside from doing superenthralling survivorman feats plus filming it himself and all that jazz. Les Stroud is the man.
I would kill to see some survival show Bear Grylls vs. Les Stroud. My money’d be on Les for sure.
How about you and me, wrestling in a tub that is essentially a massive jello shot?
Loser has to use tea bags for life.
Speaking of tea bags, I do have a patented wrestling move…

Tea bags?!!! (oh the horror)
You know if I lost I’d use the fill it yourself big organic cotton ones or something. I could not possibly accept this kind of challenge if the loser had to actually drink tea that came prepackaged in teabags. I wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy. Or you.
Good thing I never lose. Can we use green jello? It reminds me of Slimer from Ghostbusters.
Your tub or mine? I’m trying to picture your move there. It must be as slick as your transition from survivormen tv shows to us jellowrestling.
I still want to see Les and Bear duke it out.
Neutral territory. Someplace pubi…I mean, public.
Damn this lack of sleep. Damn these 1000 pages of business law that must be digested by tomorrow morning’s exam.
Not even the Axis of Evil can go long without recharging. Else, it becomes the (Easy) Access of Evil.
I’ve said too much, my dar(jee)ling…don’t abuse this knowledge.

Awwwww, you called me Dar(jee)ling… big stupid grin
I really like that. Wow I’m such a sap.
Don’t worry, I would NEVERRRRR take advantage of your lack of sleep…
Only cause it.

Funny thing, it turns out most of the bigger guys at my gym are shit scared of spiders and insects too.
My girlfriend has to stop me from killing them and she throws them outside.

Yeah, I hear cart wheeling spiders can really kill 675 lb DLs 
Actually, what I like to do to reconcile my need for toying with nature and the need for disposing of spiders:
Take a can of compressed air, turn it upside down, FREEZE the spider (takes about 10-15 seconds, scoop it up with a sheet of paper, hurry up and take it outside. Place it on the ground and watch it defrost (“re-animate!”).
Humane and evil at the same time. Spider = mindfucked. Me = hero.
Me 1, Spider 0
Oh, and the two insects that freak me out:
1)Tie: fire ants or “carrier” ants
2) Cockroaches. They survived Hiroshima and Nagaski!!! Wtf???
I went to visit my cousins years ago and there are these MASSIVE ants they call “carrier” ants. They are literally an inch to inch and a half long. And HUGE. You know those earth-mover dump trucks you see on the Discovery channel, the ones that are literally several stories tall?
Think of these ants as the ant-equivalent to those vehicles.
And fire ants…yuck.
My real fear is jelly fish because I love the ocean. Killer, Irukandji jelly fish the size of your thumbnail and transparent. Kill within minutes

I’m with you on the cockroaches. When I lived in Georgia they had giant ones the length of my palm up to the length of my hand, that fly- they call 'em palmetto bugs there. You walk outside at night and they’ll fly right into your hair. Now that is cause for a screaming spitting funny-dancing racket!
I just don’t like not being at the top of the food chain in the ocean. I had a panic attack the first time I went snorkeling and saw an eel. Scraped myself up something fierce on coral trying to get back to shore too fast. The bleeding from the coral made me panic more thinking things would try to eat me and by the time I got out of the water I had about 100 bleeding cuts all over me. I later made myself go down in a shark tank to face my fear. I can’t stand being afraid. My response to my fear of height was to jump off the cliff in Kauai from the movie “Six Days Seven Nights” that Harrison Ford & Anne Heche jumped off of into the ocean- it was a 75 ft. jump. Horribly painful since I landed wrong and kinda ass/thigh flopped instead of going perfectly straight feet first like I should’ve, but still probably the most freeing thing I’ve ever done.
