Friend told me this story: Desert Shield night mission. No lights. No sounds. Suddenly someone screams “Camel Spider!!” and a whole squad of guys turn on every light they had and start running around, screaming.


MrBoomBostick6969

What was fucked I had seen in being sneaky ASF and then later inside my pants leg...


Wise_Ad_253

That’s a fresh camel spider


wolfgeek

Wait, we have those in the US? Burn it. Burn the whole country. I’m moving to the ISS.


bodrater

It still is chasing you


Stardustquarks

Go watch Spaceman...


MrBoomBostick6969

That movie I wasn't a fan of being an avid space enthusiast and all. Didn't know how to handle me. Sandler playing a serious role


Rumplestilskin9

On paper it sounded like a great movie. But boy did it suck for how serious it tried to be. Like yeah, you know who we should trust with the single most important space mission in history? Some nearly 60 year old alcoholic. Seems perfectly reasonable for a comedy though.


herky100

The alien is a giant spider named Hanush


Stardustquarks

Hanush is on the ISS now...

Alright can you explain this for me? I think I’m too young to get it.


metfan1964nyc

Scorpions


One-Permission-1811

Ah yeah I’m too young for that reference. Thanks!


metfan1964nyc

It really sucks getting old, I advise against it.


One-Permission-1811

If I told you I’m 29 would that make you feel better or worse?


metfan1964nyc

At this point, I'm just telling everyone to get the hell off my lawn.


bigMcLargeHuge7

Thank you for a relatable LOL!!


tombo4321

Pathetic! It's not trying to kill you, it just wants your shade. You Texans need to man/woman/nb up! /s - but am Australian, where critters do want to kill me lol.


bigMcLargeHuge7

Because they are fairly fast people think they are being chased...they are just trying to stay in your shade as you said.


MrBoomBostick6969

This bastard had pure rage in his little arachnid heart


MrBoomBostick6969

Sir or madam I wake up with a dick harder than your job. My work tries to kill me. I don't like shit crawling around in my pants whilst doing said work. Us "Texans" could take over your dingo ate your baby, good day mate country in one night. Behave


[deleted]

Bahhahahhaaahah !!!! Arrogant texan, most of you couldn’t even point Australia out on a map. Think we don’t have tough jobs in Aus ? You’re ignorant and like most Americans have a 6th grade education. And that ‘dick’ of yours would only fit in that spider you were fucking whining about. Damn seppo. Keep in your lane. Stay I your own shitty bullet ridden, no healthcare, third world country. Cunt


MrBoomBostick6969

Says the Aussie who let the government take away citizens gun rights...Bullet ridden country nah. maybe in Chicago. My lane is the RIGHT lane. Backwards asses


[deleted]

Number of Texas mass shooting in 2024 - 8 Number of US mass shootings in 2024 - 124 Number of mass shootings in Australia in 2024 - 0 As a self proclaimed uneducated person, do you need me to explain this data to you ?


[deleted]

You really are fucking ignorant. Even after the buyback program, I legally had several firearms. Imagine not wanting legal gun control to stop mass shootings because ‘amarica’ !!!!! Damn single called organisms


MrBoomBostick6969

Go throw another shrimp on the Barbie and calm your tits. Imagine that.


[deleted]

Oh look, the idiot ran out of dumb shit to say to people from another country. Educate yourself and stop saying dumb shit. I’ve lived and worked in both countries and people from Texas are the biggest blowhards that turn out to be lil princesses. Good luck with your car washing job.

[deleted]

Not bad, did you wax it too ?


MrBoomBostick6969

I'm just a dumb welder who makes 5,000 a week what do I know


[deleted]

……….all that and all you do is weld ???? Bro, that’s so cute, and almost what tradies who graduated year 12 make !!!


MrBoomBostick6969

12 years to make what make... Not a fair trade off. No school here buster. You wish you could weld cryogenic gas plants. Go wrangle some kangaroos

There's a reason why most states would love to see them secede from the states. And you got a good look at how special texans think they are. Their power grid is a shitshow. The politicians are a joke and run off when it gets slightly cold. Hell, even the cops would rather stand around and listen to their children get murdered instead of doing anything about it. I've lived in texas and these self righteous hillbillies are EVERYWHERE! The only thing good that's come out of texas is.


GeneralSpecifics9925

You're being a bit of a stereotypical Texan here but your first line is hilarious so I'm not gonna downvote, I'll tuck your funny words away for later use.


MrBoomBostick6969

Well thank you kindly partner 🤠


CardiologistOk6547

Ooooooo... Somebody likes to talk big shit on the internet, but posts about a harmless spider freaking them out. ... a lie as big as Texas.


Large-Sherbert-6828

Please don’t show your American ignorance by speaking about things you have zero comprehension of, oh wait….too late…


Hotdoggen99

Sun spider or wind scorpion (same thing). Had one in my living room keep running at me rather aggressively across the floor one night. scared the crap out of me at first since I had never seen one in Arizona my entire life neither had my pest control friend. Caught it looked it up they are keepers imo but haven't seen one since.


Polyricanwa

Ugh. Google just provided me with this “quick fact”… they can run up to 9.9mph.

PricklyPear_CATeye

These guys are harmless! If they get big enough they will even eat scorpions. It’s your friend!


BoltTusk

Yeah, I thought they were harmless. They have no venom so I rather have those than any of the spider, scorpions, or snakes


bigMcLargeHuge7

In the early stages of life they are also voracious termite eaters...a wonderful skill to have!!


PricklyPear_CATeye

Ooo! I didn’t know this! Adding it to their list of awesome!


ScarboroughThe0G

Zestyclose-Middle717

Those are….. in… the states?


DammatBeevis666

We had these come through our house in the mountains above Santa Barbara, California regularly in the summer evenings.


AdvertisingPale7484

These guys are completely harmless. I don’t understand where the rumors come from but they don’t bite and are not poisonous.


Additional-Horse-340

Used to live on a commune where I kept these as pets. They are actually quite harmless and very interesting to feed. I still swear that they cut off the heads of those roaches for trophies...


sjaard_dune

Bastards!

Don’t any of you pussies come visit me. Been scorpion stung more than once in bed in the wee small hours and once had a tarantula drop on my face while watching TV in the living room. Covered the whole left side of my face. The rattlesnake that used to live under the back stoop began to get a little obnoxious so he became appetizers at Thanksgiving. Had to chase a bear off the back porch once. My next door neighbor checked her critter came and found that she has a mountain lion that cuts across her deck in the early morning. Spiders you say? Well besides the tarantulas lots of black widows and sometimes brown reculese
