Giant Spiders?

As stated in yesterday's post, my mind runs amok, frequently. I allow it, as my brain makes me laugh at the stuff it comes up with.
Hence this blog.

Anywhoo...animals and spiders seem to be the theme in my life for the last few days. So let's go with it.

Spiders...ugh!

Spiders...cool.
Sometimes.

I think some spiders are cute as all get out! Others, totally creep me out.

For example:

Not a cute nor cuddly spider, not at all.

Now for me, cuddly, are these spiders.

Couldn't you just fall in love with those puppy dog eyes?

Then I imagine, how cool would it be? If they were big enough to walk to the park on a leash. Something bigger than a chihuahua, maybe cocker spaniel sized.

Have you got that picture in your head. Go ahead. Really get the visual of a cocker spaniel sized, fuzzy, cuddly spider. Got it yet?

Now, fortunately for the world, I am not a mad scientist. Because just as I was thinking that would be the coolest thing ever, it dawned on me.

Awww, cute, cuddly, cocker spaniel sized spider could run up the walls and
crawl across the ceiling and just hang there.

R I G H T A B O V E M Y B E D!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yep, that seems about right!

So, I scraped that million dollar idea.

Anywhoo.. back to giant spiders. I mean huge, ginormous, monster size spiders.

I was driving home from work and turn on to my road. I can see quite a distance on this road. It has some dips, so cars appear and disappear as you are driving towards them.

In the far distance, I swear I see a giant spider. And no, I don't mean a few inches of spiderness laying in the road. I mean, HUGE!
Even this brain of mine was having trouble keeping up with this vision.
I'm squinting, my neck craned out over the driver's wheel.
I swear to G O D, that thing is moving towards me!!
I blink my eyes, I have to be seeing things, because this is what I thought I saw slowly coming down the road.

That's right, ladies and gentlemen. The freakin' spider from Will Smith's movie Wild West.
Now you say, you are out of your mind. No way did you see the spider from the movie coming down your road. To that I would reply, "You are correct."

This is what it was, really.

I swear it's alot bigger than this!
