# I was out in the back garden earlier
And thought I was hallucinating a frog, hopping round my patio. Then I asked my boyf, who was standing beside me, and he saw it too. Turns out there actually was a frog.
True story.

Woo!

# Crumbs
Has it gone yet? We blew smoke at the frog in an attempt to get it stoned, but it just hopped off into the grass.
Now I'm deciding where to sleep tonight, as I have the choice of all the beds in the house. Or even the sofa. Or the floor somewhere.

# after staying awake for 7 days straight (literally)
in my first year, I started hallucinating. I hallucinated a bright red frog, about 2 feet tall, and it chased me out of the kitchen, screaming like a girl. I then locked myself in my room for three hours brandishing a chair.

I wish I was making this up.

# hehehe
I have massive bouts of insomnia from time to time. I'm ok at the moment, but sometimes it gets really bad. 7 days with a minutes sleep is my record though. god that fucked me up. I went downstairs on the monday after the frog incident and ate about 6 herbal sleeping tablets, and promptly went to bed. Woke up the next day, wandered intot he kitchen and all my floor-mates were going "where the fuck have you been?"

"Just been sleeping for a bit."

"dude, we aint seen ya since monday"

"what day is it??"

"fuckin wednesday man...."

# I don't mind them
Some of them do a good job of eating mosquitos and anything that eats mozzies is alright with me.

I live in a warm climate and there are only 2 types of spider here that are to be avoided, so I do. One of them is a monkey spider and they are as big as tarantulas. They rear up when they are pissed off. I found one once under a brick. I picked up the brick and this bugger reared at me so I just said "sorry" and put the brick back :)

Be polite to them and they won't bite you*

# spiders rule
I don't understand my friends who are shit scared of them
one of them has a high belt level in martial arts, and a spider the size of the nail on his little finger can make him jump

# our old
housemate was so terrified of them if there was one in the living room and he saw it he'd leave and refuse to come back in til it was gone - needless to say we couldnt be arsed moving it and were like 'jon, its gone now, you can come back in' and hilarity ensued!!

# No way....

If a spider that big crawled across my keyboard, my girlfriend would leave me out of sheer terror.

# i dunno
but they took them away! somrthing to do with the markings
(I helped save b3ta! Rev. Jesse. broke his ankle, Sun 17 Oct 2004, 0:05, archived)
# ooh spiders with markings are generally BAD mothers
A marking is a warning to stay away... like "fear me, I have a red spot on me belly"

# I remember when
my sister was in Australia and sent my mother a mug with a fake wolf spider in the bottom.

The mug broke when it hit the wall.
