enjoying australia - part 3
heh. yesterday's spider encounter reminded me of another spider related story...
in the beginning of the summer, we had this big spider in the back yard. it always made his web in the same spot and he sort of became a house pet. we named him billy-bob.
there he was, our billy-bob: all big and ugly weaving his big arse web in the middle of the walkway in the backyard every night. and every day someone would forget that the web was there, walk into it and nearly shit him/herself.
well, then one day, billy-bob was gone.
next night a new spider appeared. ten times bigger and uglier and with a big motherfucker of a web. we assumed that the new spider ate our poor billy-bob, so naturally we named her angelina.
angelina still owns the backyard and weaves her big arse web out every night after sunset and takes it down before sunrise.
and yes, angelina is twice as big as yesterday's encounter, but at least she doesn't come inside the house.
