QuoteArachnoleptic fit (n.): The frantic dance performed just after you've accidentally walked through a spider web. It takes MAJOR self control to NOT do this one.

So clay, I am pretty sure you could win a video contest if you got some sweet footage of you and your co-workers in full armor, guns shouldered, walking through a hallway and suddenly doing the spider web dance. Never look down on someone, unless they are going down on you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freeflir29 0 #4 November 14, 2005 Hey............I've learned to deal with it. Just don't let a HUGE spider sneak up on me though. I'll scream like a girl. When I was a kid riding horses and motorcycles down the logging roads around the house.........we had these HUGE brown "Wood Spiders" (Don't know their real name) that would build webs all the way across the roads. Of course.......it seemed no matter if you were on a horse or a motorcycle they would be sitting in the web JUST ABOUT face height. Ever have a spider with a 4 in leg span suddenly sitting on your nose? That's worth a couple of minutes of an Arachnoleptic fit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
