The things we do for love

Mr Psmith's biggest tarantula, Shelob, molted last week. He asked if I would kindly allow him to pose it on my face. In a moment of insanity (or possibly due to the three glasses of wine I had had), I said yes.

I'm 5'2", so yeah, she's just damn big. Second biggest? The first being...?

That was a "Get Smart" reference. I sometimes forget how old I am.

Shelob is obviously a very healthy spider, to leave such an intact molt.

What do you feed her, mice, or the neighbor's children?

I used to love Get Smart! But I don't recall that reference. At the library where I work, we have a big jar of earplugs with a sign saying CREATE YOUR OWN CONE OF SILENCE. I always laugh, though I'm sure none of the small children masquerading as college students get it :)

She is quite big and healthy, yes. She eats giant cockroaches, mostly; maybe once a year we give her a treat of a fuzzy.

The neighbors...no longer have children. MWAHAHAHAAAA!!!
