I don't understand the fear of spiders. I find them kind of cute.

There are absolutely spiders that are cute. They tend to be small and fuzzy and not venomous.

 

[Reservoir Angel]

I disagree with your thesis Liosse. There are no cute spiders. Ever. By their very definition anything with that many legs, than many eyes, and that can cling to any surface can never be cute. It can only ever be horrifying.

 

[Anninyn]

Oddly, I find Octopedes (Octpusses? Octopi?) quite appealing. Even though the holes they can fit through are tiny, and only limited by the size of their eyeball. They're so clever!

*ahem*

All spiders are venomous.


Just some more so than others.


I have this on authority from a spider-geek here at AW.



Though she keeps them as pets, so she'd agree with the cute and cuddly bits.

 

[Raventongue]

Octopi are awesome! They are the eccentric nerds of the animal kingdom.

I'd like a pet Octopus someday. If only so I will never have to open another jar again.

 

[slcboston]

Rejected again.

Sorry, dude.

Though if I ever switch teams, I promise you'll be first notified.

Will that do?

I did not know that about the eyeball thing.

Huh.


That certainly ups the awesome factor to 11.

They taste good, too.

I been in Japan too long.

It's because all their organs are just sort of hanging around loose in there.

Did you know some species show the problem-solving ability of a ten year old human? Pretty smart creatures.

I would like to be friends with a talking one.

Well, yes. But jumping spider venom isn't going to create huge holes in my flesh.

 

[Raventongue]

Sadfaaaaaaace!

It's okay, I think the same of most or all non-endangered creatures.

 

[unruley700]

Don't laugh so hard you spill your cream.

It's detachable?

*is a tad hippy drippy*

You'll fit right in then.

I dunno. Are they worth getting into?

That's what she said.

 

[slcboston]

This depends on the 10-year-old.

 

[Anninyn]

Sadfaaaaaaace!

It's okay, I think the same of most or all non-endangered creatures.

I tend to have a rule that if it's clever enough I could argue for sentience I won't eat it.

Anything else that's non-endangered is fair game.

 

[AceTachyon]

No spiders.

Not backreading because of spider talk.

Spiders here get the business end of a rolled up newspaper. Or phone book.

Spiders creep me out.

But continue with octopi.

 

[slcboston]

I would like to be friends with a talking one.

So you could be in an octopus' garden, in the sea?

 

[slcboston]

They taste good, too.

I been in Japan too long.

No, no.

I had this thought, too.


And I've not been in Asia for years.

 

[AceTachyon]

So you could be in an octopus' garden, in the sea?

And in the shade.

And near a cave.

 

[Anninyn]

So, I was sat here, reading internet things, headphones on, singing along. Happy in my own little world. I turn around, and there is a husband sat on the sofa where there was no husband before.

Somehow he opened the door, came up the stairs and settled himself onto the sofa without me noticing. It was a bit of a shock.

And then I licked his forehead.

An excellent ninja attack.

And then I licked his forehead.

An even more excellent ninja counterattack.

 

[Anninyn]

An excellent ninja attack.


An even more excellent ninja counterattack.

Our relationship IS a constant battle for supremacy.

I'm totally winning.

See, I could argue for sentience in vegetables (self-awareness on the other hand, not so much).

I do have a good friend who is vegetarian, and who explains her reasoning as, "You can't exactly torture a vegetable to cut costs." If there were ever a sentiment that could convince me to go vegetarian, this would be it.

I tako salad.
