Title: Spiders...
Post by: The_Ed on Sat, 12 October 2013, 15:23:58
A huge spider just came down from a string on the ceiling and crawled into my 120 Model M... I can't see where the ****er went... And yet I'm still typing on this keyboard... Please don't lay any eggs in there Spiderbro...

OK, I can see him under numpad 1 now, but how the **** do I get him out?...

I just tried to stab him with a pocketknife between the keys, and now I've lost sight of him...

I took off the numpad 1 key and I can see him hiding under numpad 4 now...

Either be nice and shake him out or just push all the keys down.

I just pried off numpad 4 and quickly stabbed him a few more times before he could run away. Success. But now his juices are on the barrel frame...

I've cleaned up his juices and put the keys back on. All's right with the world. Now what was I doing again?... ****...

RIP spiderbro. Such an admirable spider. All he wanted to do was admire a piece of keyboard technology  :'(

The keys don't bottom out on the barrel frame, so it's impossible to squish him that way. That's just a good way to make him go deeper and hide better.

Define "adventure"...

**** Spiderbro, I can't kill him with fire unless it's a rubber dome.

Had this happen before. Canned air blew that sucker right out.

With my luck he'd be blown onto my face... But there is a can of air less than 10 feet to my right.

The only spiderbro that I'll allow to live in my keyboards are jumping spiders. I hate spiders....but love cute little jumping ones.

The spiders in this basement do that zip-lining thing from the ceiling all the time... And if you pound on the walls there's sure to be a few that'll come out to see what's up... The Spiderbros, they outnumber me...
