That one?
No, it almost had my face.
And I leaned waaaaay back to get away from it in a hurry.
The guys behind me were like, “What? What do you see?”
And when I pointed out the huge ugly spider they all said, “No way!” or various forms of “Holy crap”.
No no no! The trick is to be annoying on FR in an acceptable manner. It’s probably easier to just hang on to the old silly-putty nature. Yep, there’s the answer. Case closed.
When I was young and wandering in the woods near my parents' house (which was also my house) I would swing a stick as I walked to knock down any spider webs that might be in the path. It was a natural sort of stick swinging, using the weight of my arm to burst through any webs I might encounter.
Then, one day, when I was walking and swinging the stick stuck, just as my arm was going through the bottom of its arc and starting the upswing.
I never saw the spider, but I think the web was woven to catch gators. I left the stick stuck in the web and backed away, very slowly.
I *love* your writing! That passage was reminiscent of a scene in “USS Seawolf” by Patrick Robinson (sp?). They didn’t have Blgthrgths, though.
Is your coffee antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal? That’s make up for the hallucinogenic property.
Thank you for multiple lols!
Visualize “pattycake”.
Meanwhile, somewhere up above you, a tiny voice snickered at your terror as little chitinous mandibles wiggled in mirth.
Or so I’d imagine were I to have experienced that one.
Strangely, I often get asked ‘what drugs have you done” when people read that stuff.
No drugs, all natural weird here.
You should meet my parents.
That explains everything.
I see Blgthrgths as being highly enraged flying towels of one sort or another.
They land on your head before screeching in fury.
No real damage except the startle factor of having some enraged flat floppy creature wrap around your head and begin howling.
Unknown, but it does horrible things ot wildlife, spiders, and other creatures.
[Spiders appear to die from heart attack or something after crazed frenetic activity after drinking from a drop of the stuff.]
I didn't know carnivorous toupees could be tamed well enough to leave the wearer alone, but I think that would be a great self-defense item. A carnivorous "rug" shop and training business would probably be a big seller in these days. Plus, it wouldn't trigger any pesky firearm detectors.
You mean where he mashes up against something and an image of that something is imprinted on his body?
Maybe they're terrorizing the washing machines at night. This could explain several things.
“Masseuse!” I’m visualising “Ichi the blind swordsman” with four arms.
That reminds me of a ST-TOS episode, except they landed on people's backs.
Another thing to be grateful for—not encountering a genie/djinn w/hearing deficit. OTOH, lol!
It would explain the dark muttering from the closets all night.
The mushrooms in the basement explains the chants of ‘mushroom! mushroom! mushroom!’ from the chantarellas.
Yes.
But these are relatively harmless.
You're pretty close. I couldn't detect exactly where she was, but her snicker gave me an idea. I stuck a Snickers bar in the first stick web line I could find and yanked an tugged at it as if I were stuck and thrashing. She immediately attacked the bar (her speed was astounding - 2 minutes wasn't nearly enough of a head start). Many don't know that caramel nugat has a soporific effect on spiders. She slept and I escaped.
You have plants and felines? I thought they were mutually exclusive until we started growing cat grass. (Oat grass and some other kind.) Other plants and knick nacks (sp?) weighing less than five pounds each have a very limited lifespan here.
