Since then, I have calmed down a lot when it comes to spiders since this place has a ton of them. Ya though, had my custom 1911 on it, and believe me, the trigger was nice, smooth, and light. The fact that I didn't put any through it I think showed great trigger finger control... lol After about an hour of screaming at it, jumping around my house, and going nuts, I calmed down and caught it in the jar.

    I've been jumped, in more fights than I care to admit to, had to use bean bag rounds on people, free style motocrossed, and cliff dived off of really stupid shit at Lake Powell, but nothing has ever come close to getting me up and going like that Wolf Spider invading my house... I couldn't sleep for days....... Irrational fears, they suck.
    Haha, yes they do! And way to show trigger control!

    Hey Honey Maid!!

    Try fitting ONE LESS graham cracker into each package! Maybe then, I could actually open the package and enjoy my graham crackers in a single piece instead of having to eat them with a spoon!

    I've gotten used to shooting them with my airsoft gun. That one was a cub... second time it has been around without mommy...... First time, was at 5 in the middle of the day, daughter came face to face with it as she turned a corner. That little one is just getting too comfortable...

    I kicked one of them at the end of last summer. It had its head in our trash can. Just walked right up to it (as soon as I found out how skittish these one's are) and kicked it in the ass (well, right hind leg). It took the trash can about 20 feet away as it ran with its head still in it....

    That's kinda cool!

    When I used to live in the mountains here, I came home at about 2am after driving my fiancee (then girlfriend) home. As I was walking up to my house, I saw these two giant ass eyes (very wide apart) just up the house from me. I stood dead in my tracks and it didn't move either (was shining my Fenix LD10 at it on turbo mode, then strobe). Finally, the eyes disappeared and I saw this HUGE (a good 4-5" in diameter) tail loop around and I made a mad dash for my front door. Ran inside, grabbed my AR and when to look out the back windows with the lights on. Went out hte next day and saw huge mountain lion footprints in the snow. Scared the bejesus out of me!

    The packages still haven't changed. Still that brown plastic wrapper that is vacuum packaged. There's no way to open them without crushing at least 1-2 crackers. And then you might as well just make a pie crust with them.
