I hate you, Hell Demon

While walking around the neighborhood last week, Lennie snapped a picture of this hell demon living in our neighbors' yard. He came home and said he saw a spider that "Looks like a cartoon drawing of a spider. Like someone drew a spider to look as pissed and scary as possible." He said it was big too, like the size of my palm big. And now the fucker is living in close proximity to our property. One more reason to convert to from mild to severe Agoraphobia and never leave my house again.


And just for fun, here's a little photo I shot of our butler. She lives above our front door and greets all our guests. Shit, judging by the size of her, she may be able to take your coat and fix you a drink - Bloody Mary I would guess.

.

The photo is blurry because there is no way in hell I would ever get close enough to get a good picture. But, do you notice anything? Our butler looks eerily like the hell demon from next door. And let's zoom out for a moment and look at the whole picture, shall we? This is how I know our butler is a "she".



Fuck. That egg sac is the size of a golf ball. Time to fill Connor's water gun with bleach. Although then I run a real risk of my butler turning on me, jumping down and doing this to me:




So, let us review our options.
(a) try and squirt bleach at the butler and her hell demon spawn and risk being attacked, biten, poisoned, paralyzed, mummified, hung upsidedown and immobile, and then slowly eaten alive.
(b) do nothing and then live in a house swarming with baby hell demons
(c) move. Considering the risks, I think moving is the only viable option.

Midmorning update:
My astute bloggy friend, Karen, noticed that the butler is fucking smiling at me.


Holy Shit, Karen, you're right. I did a little tooling around with my picture of the butler so you can all see what Karen saw. Now, I hate that little fucker even more (the butler, not Karen - she's cool). I'm foreseeing the high pitched shriek of a mother and her hell demon babies squealing in the bleach bath they're about to get. Nobody smiles at me and gets away with it.

I think I'd be finding a super soaker that I could fire from SEVERAL feet away. Ick! I hate hate hate spiders!! I'm amazed you've lived with Butler this long!

Casey said...

I think I would move if that first spider were anywhere near my house. We've had our share of freaky assed spiders but that one made me cringe. Ack.

Jennifer said...

Obviously you should move. Don't be a hero.

Karen said...

Is it just me, or is the butler SMILING?

I think she's tauning you.

That spider and her babies are going to very helpful in terms of all the other bugs in your house. They're like little bug vacuums.

Befriend her. Throw her a shower.

Karen said...

You are unstoppable with the photoshop.

Genius, I tell you.

Genius.

Karen said...

Plus...Black Hockey Jesus commenting on your blog?

When the fuck did you become such a celebrity?

Don't forget me when you get famous.

This post just ruined me life…

Tracey said...

Oh. My.
I just got the heebie-jebbies.
I think I would sell my house and move if I found that thing even close to my house.

I was just reading this and Sean walked by and said "We have those spiders in Wilmington... I attacked it with a hockey stick!" Looks like Lennie may need to take up a new sport!
p.s. dad would love to start his "big shoe" company down there for you!

My husband and I will do anything to ignore the kids on sunday mornings so we discussed your spider and he identified it as a "golden garden spider" (thanks to his mother being an enviornmental teaching freak). This site not only shows your hell demon up close, but also her fucking egg sac. Oh. My. God.
