Here’s a funny one for you. Watch this killer spider induce some serious arachnophobia in a local weather man as he fumbles through his report, eventually threatening to leave the studio entirely. The Fear then proceeds to infect another news anchor in a show of hilarious panic and chaos, while the dude with the spider on his arm just continues to be an asshole. Can’t really blame them – that spider is decidedly Not Ok. TC mark

    Guys, it’s obviously alluding to the fact that FOX uses fear and scare tactics against people. ~*~*FOX59*~*~

    it would only be as harmful as a bee sting if it made it thru his thick wool coat and shirt. it looked like it could care less!

    Someone once brought a Tarantula to my elementary school during a sort of fair day, and none of the teachers would stand over there, none of the kids wanted it to come out of the tank (and if it did, everyone backed up), and my mom was in terror when I grinned and reached for it.  The spider’s name was Rosie, and she really did not seem like she would harm anyone.

    My grandpa bragged about the scene at church with his guy buddies, who still don’t believe it all these years later because of the time they had seen me “hiding” behind the stage curtain and a Wood Spider had touched my hand, sending me screaming out of the curtain, over the trash cans, off the stage, and under a table.

    underwhelming

    Nice and fluffy. Incidentally, whoever cued up that footage of the candy apple immediately after the close-up shots of a spider “the size of a softball” is a god-damn genius. I’ll bet that business is overjoyed.

    That guy is part spider so he’s not afraid of them.

    No one likes to work with little recognition and low pay. However, many people prefer to be employed rather than unemployed. Sometimes, worker dissatisfaction fosters bitter resentment, resulting in absenteeism. Recently, Rebecca has been feeling bitter and depressed, however, she is still employed.

    I would also like to state that I painstakingly took the time to test out your coconut cupcake and cream cheese frosting boxed mix, and just have to wonder: is it ever inadequate? Like, ever? Because I must have had five and they all tasted like I went and had an orgasm in heaven.

    And are you doing something later? Or are you doing nothing? And is the idea of you doing nothing hilarious because you usually do a lot of things, which gives you the confidence to winkingly let people know about this exception? I think that’s cool.
