 Well, I'm terrified of spiders
	Well, I'm terrified of spidersSo perhaps if we charge headfirst at each other, the spiders will follow me, and the flies will follow you, and suddenly get distracted by each other, leaving us to sneak off, free of arachnids and dipterans.
How the devil are you, anyway?

	Ackles doesn't have to do much other than be cool, which he pulls off with aplombAnd he's so ridiculously handsome it wouldn't matter if he was shite. Padalecki has the weightier role and just doesn't have the chops for it. He only seems to have two facial expressions, including his "curling out a hard poo" one for when he's killin' demons.

 snakes, hard work and giant robot killer dinosaurs
	snakes, hard work and giant robot killer dinosaursI just got back from the stupidest meeting ever. It's all to do with VERY IMPORTANT DOCUMENT what I wrote. V.I.D has been changed loads of times via email. Big fucking changes, all done by email. Fine by me.
2 months later I get an email which basically said "need meeting! need to check V.I.D!!!11!!" PANIC PANIC, etc. So I worry, thinking it's a fuckin overhaul and arrange a meeting.
The meeting consisted of me and a colleague sitting in awkward silence not sure if we should leave or not while the guy taps at his computer and puts on jazz music. Turns out the changes are minor and the meeting pointless. So I spent an hour and a half today listening to jazz FOR NO REASON!
