Went camping this last weekend in Western North Carolina (Brevard, NC) and found this beauty hanging out by the laundry room door of the campgrounds bath house.
It's a Giant Lichen Orb Weaver spider.... Not deadly in the slightest if you don't count the heart attack one might have if one found it crawling in ones hair. LOL

I can't make the comment I want to about that, but I have had mountain lion and it was pretty good. I actually tried deep fried tarantula once after watching Bizzare Foods. It tasted kinda like real crunchy shrimp.

Thanks Grumpy! Always loved that song....and as usual you are a perfect gentleman, such a sweetie.
As for the REST OF YOU -----SNIPER! I knew you were going to bring in the kitties! I saw page 2 first and just knew that you were going to do that when you read the thread and sure enough you had already done it on page one!!!!!! Dude, you sure know how to get me...this one has both for me, spiders and kitties getting ate. Good thing I love all you guys or I would be throwing one of my famous temper tantrums! :) EEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
