I know .... isn't that spider the most awful thing you've ever seen?

I asked JennyBoop about them and she said her husband had to fight one off over there in Iraq!! Now that would be terrifying!

[BBooper]

i know!!! i think it would have to chase me! unless i had a very large long stik which i could poke it to death with from about 3 miles away!

[Bikerbettyboop]

They are supposedly the highest jumping and fastest moving spider in the world. I'm sure glad we don't have those things here in Arizona!

[BBooper]

ok.. so maybe to poke it from 30 miles away!!!! :o scary!

[Bikerbettyboop]

[livingbooper]

Come on Neckless. What is the secret?

[Neckless]

Oh wow! What'd I do this time??

Geez!! :eek:

Why is the big green face there?

I need lessons on what I can and can't post or ask questions about.

[boopcrazy]

that was just nasty. Probably why i emailed it to a few people. ha ha ha :)

[livingbooper]

Neckless..you are just being coy now. Come on... tell us how you post those images. We are all friends here and we share.

[JennyBoop]

:eek: Oh my goodness my poor hubby no wonder he ran like A big chicken when he was being chased by one those things are nasty looking and I can't believe in that picture those soldiers are holding them. EEEEEEEEEEW YUCKY!!!:eek: :eek: :eek: He keeps teasing me by saying "I can bring one home for you" I tell him HECK NO!!!! besides he wouldn't get past customs.:eek: :eek:

[livingbooper]

Yikes!!!
And why would he want to??????
I hope he is just teasing.... ha ha!

[BBooper]

lol!! i think i'd make him stand outside and get rid of it before i let him in the car or in the house with me!!!

[Neckless]

No I don't mind showing ya! I tried to post the directions and it was somehow-blocked!!
I posted the camel spiders too and when I checked back again to show it to my husby...there was a huge green face with it's tongue sticking out! That's why I wrote a couple posts ago...that I needed lessons on what I can and cannot say and post here.

Geez!!

Anyway to post an image you copy it (right click) and highlight the properties addy. When you are ready to post it...Do this:
Put the address in between these and close it with this

NOTE: Do not put spaces between them like I did. I used spaces so you could see, read and understand how to do it!

[Neckless]

See! It's been blocked again!

Oh WOWWWW!

Too many of you Boopers went "YUK" and "Ewwwww" and "I'm afraid of spiders", and maybe the Adm/Mod removed/blocked it!

[livingbooper]

Hmmm... very mysterious.
I've never heard of this happening before!

I tried to right click and copy but it did not work.

[Neckless]

Yeah. I know what you mean!

[livingbooper]

So you had posted another picture and someone changed it to the big green face? I only saw the big green face. I don't think any of us moderators know how to be that tricky.
We are still trying to figure out how you put that BB avitar in the middle of your post in that other thread.

Very mysterious. Unless one of the moderators is as computer saavy as you....?????????????

[Melissa Jones]

We got the YUKKKY spider email passed around our work just the other day and it totally freacked out a few of our staff. I just had to learn more about these mysterious creatures and I tell ya what you'd be quite surprised what a quick "google" search brings up. But i'll leave the surprise for you all to find out. But if its spiders & creepy crawlies you're afraid of maybe a visit to Aust is NOT what your after. ;)

[daisy]

thanks...neckless, i had to pick my skin up out of the floor, when i seen that ..thing!! but iam wondering how u did that 2??

...and now getting back on track.
The picture of these same spiders were shown on CNN news the other night. I drew up into a tight knot!!
It's amazing how they anesthesize their prey.

[BBooper]

can't do it :o

[Bikerbettyboop]

Wow I bet that was pretty scarey seeing them on CNN! I can't imagine ever seeing one in real life!

[livingbooper]

hey Neckless... my computer doesn't have "copy addy" when I right click. What kind of computer do you have? I've got a Sony laptop with Windows XP.

[Aminal]

I wonder if the spiders can be cooked and eaten??? Yum Yum lol

[Aminal]

Then highlight what you want to copy--use the edit button atop your browser and hit copy--then do the edit button to paste wherever you want to put it. It is strange you don't have the copy because it's a standard call for WinXP and has nothing to do with your machine :(

[livingbooper]

I have "copy" but not "copy addy"
I tried to do it in another thread with copy and paste but it didn't work. I'll try again.

Has anyone clicked int the link that Biker Betty left and read the whole article? It's not really a spider at all but in the same family, and many of the claims about what it can do that are being spread around the internet are exagerated.

Oh Aminal that is a horrible idea about cooking those camel spiders!! EWWWW!

Livingbooper what is "testing"?

[Bikerbettyboop]

Neckless how do you do this?

[livingbooper]

Hi Theresa!
I was trying to copy and paste images like Neckless does, but I can't seem to do it.
That's what I was testing... but it didn't work....:(

[10eke]

I can't paste in either....

[Melissa Jones]

did it work

[Melissa Jones]

oops came as attachment - dunno how she does it then???? leaves me perplexed :?

[Melissa Jones]

[livingbooper]

Hi Melissa. Well, that is an awefully cute gif!
I know... it is perplexing. I have tried a number of different things myself....
Perhaps it has to do with the type of computer she has.

Does Neckless have a PC or a MAC????:confused:

[Bikerbettyboop]

You can't copy and paste an image... it has to be uploaded as an attachment.

[livingbooper]

But Neckless can do it! What is her secret????

[mgchan]

If I gave the solution... it wouldn't be a secret anymore! :P

[livingbooper]

Michael, you are such a tease!

But obviously it can be done! Now I must figure it out! I am obsessed!:P

[Bikerbettyboop]

I'll bet BBooper knows how... or 10eke... they're both whiz kids on these computers!!

[livingbooper]

Well, I think BBooper is stumped too.

[Bikerbettyboop]

Speaking of BBooper... she hasn't been around for a few days... I hope she is ok and just busy with school or other activities. I hope she is well!!

[livingbooper]

Yes, I do too. Maybe she is deluged with a lot of tests at school right now.

[livingbooper]

I did it!!!!!!!!!! I learned the secret!!!!! Ahhh.... now I can relax!

Ha!! We match Lizzy!!

Hi Melissa... do you like the Betty I left for you?

[JennyBoop]

Ok here is A little tid bit of information about the lovley Camel Spiders....the reason they are called Camel Spiders is they get on the camels backs and eat the fur off of them and store the fur to make spider webs for themselves. All I know is they are absolutly gross. Like I said earlier I see why my hubby went running and screaming when he seen those nasty things.:eek: :eek:

[10eke]

grrrr! I still can't figure it out!

[10eke]

http://www.bettyboop.com/forums/images/avatars/betty09.gif

[10eke]

whooohooo! I did it! Now I know how to do it, I hit myself on the head for taking so long to figure it out!

[livingbooper]

Wow! We all figured it out on the same day! I bet I know what all you gals were doing all day!;)

[Melissa Jones]

Thanks BikerBettyBoop I loved the pic you left. Did you all like the little Hula Betty??

now i just have to fugure how you gals are all doing that c & p thing.

nope still not working for me. Oh well not to worry.

[livingbooper]

She is VERY cute, Melissa!!!

[Bikerbettyboop]

Hi Jenny that is interesting info about the camel spider... I thought I read that they jump onto the camel's stomachs..but I may be wrong... and you are right they are terrible spiders!!

[10eke]

my boyfriend saw this picture of the spiders, and he was totally facinated! He had never seen them before, and didn't know what they were. I was glad I could be the smart one this time because I had the answer! He immediately went searching for more pix! Thnx but no thnx, not for me, those animals!

[Bikerbettyboop]

Someone sent the picture to me in an email and I was appalled.. I really didn't think they were real. Ugly aren't they?

Did you all see Survivors All Stars last night? They had some of the survivors families eat weird things!!! One was a cooked tarantula.... No Way would I eat that stinking thing!!!
http://www.bettyboop.com/forums/images/avatars/betty09.gif

[10eke]

I can't see that show...

They sure are ugly! Are they.. what's the word...poison, you know, dangerous?

[Bikerbettyboop]

Oh I thought you could get Survivors... it's been on for a few years now... they take people and put them on an island and they have to survive for about 6 weeks and of course each week someone is sent home and they eat awful things and whoever survives to the end wins one million dollars!!! They start with 2 "tribes" and then go down to one "tribe" and each week someone from the tribe is voted off by their fellow tribe members.

The Allstar version is people who've been on Survivor before and they take the most popular ones and put them on the allstar show... it's down to 5 people now and only a few more weeks left.

It's really a pretty good show... if you can get past the things they eat...

There's another show called Fear Factor where people eat stupid things in order to win money too. It's awful! The things they eat!

[livingbooper]

I've seen that show... it's GROSS!!! Yucky yuck yuck!!!!! Ewwwww! ick! Ick!!!
Can ya tell I don't like it? LOL!;)

[livingbooper]

I think the camel spiders belong on an science fiction show. They remind me of a monster on the old "The Outer Limits". I used to watch it as a kid... Very scary when it first came out....

http://www.bettyboop.com/forums/images/avatars/betty09.gif Oh I know what your talking about BikerBetty, I had to turn my head when they were eating all of that nasty stuff especially the spider YUCKY!!!! I don't know about you but I did get A little teary eyed when they got to see all of their family members especially Rupert he is such A sweet man, I hope he wins. Go Rupert!!!!

[Bikerbettyboop]

Hey Jenny you and I are thinking along the same lines. I was mad at Big Tom for not choosing Rupert to go with him so he could spend time with his wife... but I'm not a big fan of Big Tom or Boston Rob... they are both pretty ruthless and all those guys did was drink!!

Rupert really loves his wife and she really loves him.. it is soooo obvious! I want him to win too but he probably won't... seems like the nice guys never win... But it would sure be nice in Rupert's case cause he is a nice man!
