7 Comments » I almost walked face-first into a daddy longlegs yesterday.
It was hanging at face height on the way to my door, like a booby trap.
Because it’s brownish-yellow and thin, and my room’s light is yellow, I couldn’t see it until I was almost kissing it.
Shocked, I jumped back but managed to hold in a shriek. I rushed to my computer and started typing to the Goonfather.
“There’s a daddy longlegs hanging by a thread in front of my shelf. 
” I said.
The reply came back: “Then you never wish it Happy Belated Father’s Day?”
“…”
A minute later, my MSN window opened again and there was the Goonfather raving:
“Ehhh… I know you gonna take a pic of the spider now, and then blog what I tell you, and call the post Stupid Goonfather!”
I smiled. “I already Plurk/Twitter about it!”
“Blah!”
[Fast forward 15 minutes...]
“Arrgh. The daddy longlegs was climbing down its thread as I was walking out of the room. I almost walked into it again!!”
“Ehh… why you never kill it??”
“I don’t like killing insects, except ants. Cos I can’t deal with the corpse.”
“Hmm… you need an undertaker.”
“My undertaker is at work now.”
Pregnant pause…
“TMD!!”
:D
