This is a most entertaining story, not least because I'm picturing it all happening to a mini-George Costanza!

I just read that one abou the kid and the testicle... it goes:
(from page 3) "I showed my friend this thread, he grew up in Arizona. He told me about a boyscout retreat he went on as a kid. One of the other kids went to use the outhouse, and there was a brown recluse under the toilet seat. He sat down and it bit him in the testicle. He told a councilor person what happened and they rushed him to the hospital. He had to have that nut removed."
that is beyond scary...

Another fun quote:
"yeah spiders freak the shit outta me, i totally agree with whoever said they would shoot the clock with a shotgun.
Scorpions however freak me out even more, here in tx we have lots of them, once when i was about 8 i woke up with 1 SITTING ON MY EYE, yes thats right MY EYE, imagine how freaky that shit would be, needless to say i shit my pants and then threw it to the floor"

"One time while I was still living in Arizona I was at a rest station and a scorpion walked over my foot. At first I thought I had dropped some toilet paper, and lucky for me I was already taking a shit, but the thing just kept walking and I actually caught it and threw it outside. Since I was only 9 or so when my mom saw me carrying the thing around she started screaming at me. Then later that day I told my mom there was a baby out with a rattle in some bushes and she came back screaming again. Turns out there were 3 rattle snakes protecting a nest with tons more baby snakes. We ate rattlesnake later that night."

I'm gonna be having trouble going to the toilet in the future with all these stories:
" there was a local guy reported in the papers that wanted to take a dump one day and lo and behold, he found a fuckin python in the toilet bowl hissing and everything. reports say that the python might have crawled up thru the toilet pipes and landed into the bowl. i would have gone fuck mad if i EVER saw a snake hissing at me in the toilet bowl."

HAHAHAHA i would have loved to see that, hahaha i couldn't go to sleep either in that situation i think, i'd make me some 'clockwork-orange'-alike eye-openers or something :D
wow and then one in your pillow, GOOD CHRIST! i'd die if that happened to me, lol
and yeah i'm glad your normal avatar's back george :) you shouldn't ever take an other avatar, this one suits you great
(in a possitive way) i wish i could make up my mind and choose one avatar which i'd stick to, that's the best imo, that you can recognize someone at his/her avatar cause it's always the same,
somehow people tend to see <-- this one as 'mortons 'real' avatar' although i had some others before this one..
still i think i'll stick to this one :)

"i couldn't go to sleep either in that situation i think"
yeah that's what i thought! Hehe... but sometimes the body is stronger than the mind. Also... if you don't want to fall asleep it's probably not a good idea to be lying in bed... underneath the blankets ;-)
"wow and then one in your pillow, GOOD CHRIST! i'd die if that happened to me, lol"
hehe... when i think about that again my skin still crawls. It was a big one too! A big hairy black spider :-s... i can't believe i had been resting my head on it for several hours.
It got me really paranoid too :-p I imagined there were spiders everywhere. The next morning i was afraid to put on my clothes... i turned everything inside-out first and double and triple checked there were no insects in them.
I pity the guests who would stay in that bungalow after us!!

I fully agree on the avatar-thing by the way :-)
"that's the best imo, that you can recognize someone at his/her avatar cause it's always the same, somehow people tend to see"
Exactly... that's why i've had george for such a long time. And that's why all my favourite avatars here are the ones that have been around for a long time.
I only turned it upside-down in that strange time when the whole board went crazy and flea got banned :-s... the board didn't make sense to me anymore... and i thought i'd see if it made more sense if i looked at it from another angle or something ;-) Lol... maybe it was probably a dumb idea. I'm glad i'm back to normal anyway. Whenever i look at my own avatar i always hear george laugh in that particular way... thru his nose. (klinkt alsof 'ie knort... zo'n beetje als een varken :-p)... hehe... that little chuckle.
And yeah the embryo is most definitely your best avatar! The logo's-avatar look really good, but it doesn't really have much character.
I also liked that talking ant from a bug's life... especially on afternoons when you post alot it really suits you :-p
But i think the embryo is better anyway.

A few years ago my dad came to pick me up from indoor cricket at 10:30 at night in our (at the time) old banger of a car. I get in the front seat and notice something crawling along the door interior jsut next to me, it was a big-ass huntsman spider! I say to dad as calmy as possible 'hey dad, can you just pull over a second?' which he does, and then I show him the spider which he flicks away for me (I wouldnt touch it with a ten foot pole! :P) with the street directory. Feeling better I get in but my face turns white as soon as I do so, I had put my hand on 'another' one as I got into the car!! I lifted my hand up quickly but there was all this sliome stuff on my hand (when I looked at my hand it was classic hoprror movie stuff, lol), I think I let off a few loud 'oh my fucking gods!!' that time...dad flicked that beast out too after a while (it took a while cos dad was out of the car as quick as lightning too :P). We couldn't find anymore spiders after having a thorough look through thw car (it was bloody dark though so hard to see), let's just say dad drove bloody fast back home! :P The next day we took off the side panels of the doors and there was the fattest nest of spiders on both sides of the car, I nearly died when I saw it :o God that was the worst experience ever...

What's a huntsman spider? I noticed you live in australia... from what i've seen on the discovery channel you've got some really scary spiders over there! :-p
"crawling along the door interior jsut next to me"
!!!!
"I had put my hand on 'another' one as I got into the car!!"
jesus... that's really terrible!
"there was the fattest nest of spiders on both sides of the car,"
aaaargh! A nest! Oh my god... i would have just sold the car at that point... or pushed it off a cliff ;-) No way would i ever sit in it again!

<-- yeah i think i'll keep this one as my avatar
somehow it seemed as if people were far more quickly annoyed by anything i said when i had that ant-avatar, in fact that's the reason i don't use that one anymore (i once made a thread about that "Avatar Influence", you know the way you look at a post depends on the avatar that's next to it (e.g. you (surrounded) could never get mad at or be mean to someone with that avatar :) , if you'd say "shut up you moron" no-one would take it serious or be offended by it i think (and that's good :D))
i just discovered how to make gifs at that time, i made the one with the logos too back then, but i fully agree that it doesn't have any character (although i was a little bit proud of it in the beginning, haha)
so, conclusion (i think i just convinced myself with this post) :
this is going to be my avatar from now on :P

A huntsman spider is a big, dark brown sob, the ones in the car were about 10cm long :(
hehe, yeah we sold the car alright :P what a nightmare...My mum had a MAMMOTH stick insect in her hair once, thatw as jsut as bad really! When we finally got it out, we stomped on it like mad and all this yellow blood (yes, they have 'yellow' blood!!) pissed out in a phat arterial spray *vomits*

"people were far more quickly annoyed by anything i said when i had that ant-avatar"
that's really quite fascinating. Obviously we are all intelligent people here... we all know an avatar is just a picture, not the real person... and yet it does affect the way we read posts... the human mind is so interesting!
"you (surrounded) could never get mad at or be mean to someone with that avatar"
yeah right... what do you know!? you're an idiot!
*just testing* ;-)
"if you'd say "shut up you moron" no-one would take it serious or be offended by it i think (and that's good :D))"
lol... i never thought of that... hehehe... you're probably right. I might use that information to my advantage >:)
*evil newman-laughter*
"although i was a little bit proud of it in the beginning, haha"
well it looks good enough... but i think any type of face (human or animal) just instantly adds character to any avatar.
"this is going to be my avatar from now on :P"
Hurray! :-D Congratiulations buddy, i'm glad you're finally settling down ;-) A wise decision methinks.

"My mum had a MAMMOTH stick insect in her hair once,"
I can't believe some people keep these things as a pet! Stick-insects are horrible... they look like nature's mistake :-p
And then you've also got snakes, crocodiles, sharks... i could never live in australia ;-)

Speaking of sharks, I swam over a baby one once, that was another pant shitting episode...also when I was on a BST (a speedboat my dad designed ;)) we wnt over the HUGEST stingray ever (you know what those are right? :P ) it dwarfed the whole underside of the ship!!
When I lived in Cairns I had a creek bwhind my backyard which I used to swim in frequently till one day, a dude came by and warned me and my bro that crocs frequented the area quite often :o
Damn, I wanna move to england :*( Man, I could go on for ages about all the freaky experiences ive had with freaky creatures :P

yes hard to believe huh? But i've seen it with my own eyes... they keep them in sort of an aqaurium (without the water), and also let them walk over their hands and stuff... horrible :-/
You need to move to another country dude ;-) Fast! I think humans probably weren't supposed to even be living in australia when i hear you tell all those stories.
I'm glad i live in holland... i don't think i've ever seen a spider bigger than 4 cm's (and even those are rare)... and none of them toxic. And we don't even have any other scary insects or animals. Lucky me ;-)

Well the ending of arachaphobia is ridiculous. Using a big rubber spider that actually screams! Haha.
But the first hour or so is sooooo scary. Mostly because they use realistic spiders... not big supernatural monsters.
It's probably a little bit dated by now, but still worth watching if you have a fear of spiders :-p

ive had a few spiders that size in my room.. i saw a bigger one than that on the outside of our glass sliding door in the kitchen.. bloody huge!! big as a round'a'bout !!
if they are in my room i just catch em in a glass and put them back out side to do their job of ridding the world of anoying bugs like flys and mosquito.
ive only had a few close encounters with huntsman spiders..
once when i was about 16 i came home from a walk somewhere .. i must have brushed past a tree or something.. i get home.. im standing in the kitchen and i look down at my chest.. lol.. there is this huge sucker just looking back at me.. i quicky brushed it off, it didnt bite me but it gave me a bit of an adrenaline hit.. lol
and once in the car with mum (mum driving).. it must have been a bit glary, mum flips down the sun visor and there is a spider on it.. ahhh .. lol lucky we werent going too fast.. mum pulls over and we (me and my sister) all jump out.. rid the car of the spider and move on our merry way..
