Same here.  Greater Roadrunners are gorgeous birds.  I'm always surprised at how quickly they acclimate to humans.

Back in Arizona I had a roadrunner friend who would hang out with me in my work area. I named her Shaniqua. She used to weird out when friends would come over but if it was just me she'd chill out and listen to tunes. I miss her.

I had two traditional peyote fans made up for my sons of collected roadrunner tail feathers, 60 feathers each. Beautiful pieces of functional art.


While helping a friend clean out her garage, we came across this lonely ceramic drink coaster.  She was going to throw it out.

Needless to say...  I now use it all the time.  Since it's not just a flat disc, but more liked a hollowed out hockey puck, it can catch a lot of condensation.

No markings on it. I can't tell if it is from the 70s, 80s, or the 90s, and she didn't know how it came into her possession.

I don't want it to happen, and my experience is that road runners are pretty alert and fast, but what are the universal consequences if one of these hit one of those birds (who apparently in the cuckoo family?)

So I am laying down, watching tv and turn over to see the biggest fucking spider right next to my head. I have never in my life seen such a huge spider in my home. I tried to get a picture, but had to use a shitty webcam because my tablet is broken. A friend said it looked a lot like a brown recluse.

I don't mind having a few small spiders around but when they get that large, I want them out.  Hope you were able to get rid of it.

That is possibly a wolf spider, though I can't be 100 percent.

But am 100 percent it is not a brown recluse, for various reasons.

It's harmless and is only hunting pests for you.  Just put him outside if you haven't killed it.

I sleep in the woods half the time and I might have left a wet spot before I shot it.

I started a thread for you on /an/. We'll get to the bottom of this. They are a slow moving board so it might take a bit but we'll get an answer.

I welcome spiders in my house for the highlighted reason, and years ago had a pair of wolf spiders that patrolled my walls and liked to hang out behind my amp when I whanged on my guitar while pleasantly self-medicated. Unfortunately, the cat I have now isn't inclined to be charitable to anything she sees scurrying across the floor despite my efforts to convince her to embrace a "live and let live" philosophy. I warn them to be careful, but it just seems to go in one ear and out the other right before they get eaten.  There's nothing you can do about that, because sometimes arachnids are just too darn stubborn to accept help. Praise BP.

Mother Nature still can be a beautiful cruel bitch. Especially when cats are involved

I've heard of dogs shooting people or causing car accidents by engaging a shifter or turning off a brake but the first time I've heard of a dog stabbing their master.

My vote is for Wolf spider, no real harm to people. Really good webless hunters. Relocate em outside if you don't want them inside. This time of year lots of critters will migrate inside.

If you think Wolf spiders are big indoor invaders, be glad you don't live where Huntsman spiders are common. They love the indoor life, bathrooms mostly. Eight legged pervs.

Little Mr. Coaster,
A reg Bellgab poster,
Watching the video screen.

Along came a spider,
Flicked his Zippo lighter,
And asked,
"What's on Netflix tonight, bitch?"



An Englishman, a Frenchman, a Spaniard and a German are all standing watching a street performer do some excellent juggling.

The juggler notices that the four gentlemen have a very poor view, so he stands on a box and calls out, "Can you all see me now?"

"Yes."
"Oui."
"Sí."
"Ja."

I always preferred their earlier SciFi concept for this album than that hippie dippy shit they replaced it with.  ;D
