*g.r.t. alert
not one of these descriptors appeal to me;
*giant – robotic – tarantula.
this is not on my gift list in case anyone was wondering.
thank you in advance.

glad you enjoyed it, and most of mine are quite short, just a few words, a visual and a quote that is sometimes from someone you wouldn’t expect. raymond? not many quotes with tarantulas in them, and i loved this one.

Well, if truth be told, I suppose I would rather find one of these gaily wrapped in paper as a gift than to find one crawling around my house as a prank. Heck, I get a little queasy just looking at that picture.

Hopefully stepping on a robotic tarantula will produce the same results as a non-robotic one. I’m just saying…

As a kid, I saw the movie, ‘Tarantula’. My mother entrusted me to go alone. It was dark after the movie ended. I was too frightened to walk home and begged a cab for a ride. Had to get money from my mom and the cabbie waited outside my house while I did that. To this day, I abhor tarantulas.
