That is great thinking. I shudder with wonder about where they may live. Wherever black widow spiders live, I don't want to live there. Of course you should not tell me where they live, I'll just stay home. Not that stayng home will keep me safe, horrible accidents occur in homes all the time.
I slayed a scorpion in my garage last night. They're about 4-5 inches long, bright green and scary as heck. I used a 3 foot long piece of 1 inch plastic conduit pipe, held it carefully right above the thing, slammed it down and...squish! Held it there until it stopped wiggling. That took a while.
I am now "Goofy the scorpion slayer". Not to be confused with that other blonde chick that slays vampires of course. ;)
My roommates and I found one in our garage last year and for some bizarre reason we decided to keep it as a pet. We named her Bimo (was short for Big Mama). Any normal person would've done exactly what you did though!
A friend of mine found a link to the FOX interview you did in Munich, Jorge. Only what YOU say is in English (with German subtitles) but it was still fun to see. Not sure if you get a chance to read all these comments, but here it is in case you want to post it to your main page:
Dr. Artz would be ashamed of you. . .if he weren't scattered over half the Pacific. I, on the other hand, applaud you. One less spider in this world is all good!
Good for you. I'm a girl and I usually don't have trouble killing spiders. Except if I happen to be undressed. Then I get too scared to do it. Weird but true.
@ Petra Season five wasn't aired in Germany at all! And it won't be until January next year! We're up to a year after you, but real fans (like me) find a way to see it a few days after you ;)
Funny, I saw two today myself. However, I didn't kill them (my coworker opted to go the murderous route instead). Got some good pictures of the (not so) little bugger before her demise.
I'm more curious about how many times I HAVE NOT seen them...that's scarier to me.
In college I killed a spider with my husbands huge textbook, and left it there for him to clean up. It's one of his favorite stories to tell at parties now.
My kids often come running screaming that they have seen a black widow. It usually turns out that it's either a piece of lint, or a rollie pollie. But I go running to make sure each time, nonetheless.
Jorge, I am recovering from a Brown Recluse Bite to the right hand. I missed the last week of my finals and now have to make up the work. I was in the Hospital for 4 days on IV antibotics and big time pain killers. Got blood poisoning too. All I can say is, Now all spiders are paying the price with their lives. It happened to me in May. No more good spider bad spider for me. Once bite was enough.
Awesome indeed. Come for your writing, stay for your jokes. I still remember the day I smashed a fly with my Simpsons DVD flyer. Get it, fly, flyer... But we are the people and we gonna smash those bugs! Just like Obama!
Hi, I don't know that you know about Iran and today's in Iran (election and protesters) , I am fan of you and other character in lost and hope to see that you care about people in my country, bests
While I totally support your action, I recently discovered that only one person every five years gets bit by one of those things. That's wicked low. And what are the odds that the one person for this five years would be a celebrity. See? You're totally safe.
On another note, have you seen the brown widows? Those things are freaky. They have spiky egg sacks and look like they'd like to hold you down and make you their bitch. Here's the one found under the boat at my house: http://www.flickr.com/photos/gingerlane/2863589658/
JORGE! can you blog and tell us about your experience with avocados in Hawaii? Post some picture sof them as well! I heard they are much bigger than the ones we get here in america!
Hi! I just wanbted to tell you I found some art works about Lost in this blog of an art gallery. The first one you can see about Lost is about Sawyer and the polar bears but the second, which is a little more downstairs is about you and the numbers. Check out if you like it.
I once killed a spider with hairspray (to stun it, in the hopes it would not launch a counter-attack), a hammer (which I used repeatedly, while chanting "Die, [multi-syllable obscenity]!") and a cake server (to scoop the remains up, of course). That was eleven years ago, and my spouse still hassles me over it. Don't know why.
Sure it was a black widow? I mean, you know how every shark in the ocean is a great white if someone spots a shark and is freaked out? The same happens with dogs, snakes, and so on.
Not that a different spider would warrant any other reaction, I'm just curious if it really was a black widow.
Also, how little do you have to recycle before a spider decides to set up shop in the recycling bin?

Jorge... good thinking. I probably would have been so freaked out that I may have recycled my breakfast on it.

Glad you recycled the thing Jorge!
damn i hate spiders.... and...black widow, i mean wtf? ^^
I hope it was a big phonebook.
Spiders give me the willies! Good for you! :)
You are the man.
The End.
Well done. It was only for advice. Hugs.
I'm usually against the whole idea of killing things but those spiders are not. Good on you jorge. =]
I saw a large brown bear on the way to work. I had to slow the car down so it could walk across the street. I work in New Jersey!!
Apparently here if you see one you have to report it and they come collect it. I've never in my life seen one up here in Canada though.
Well done! I hate that bugs... xD

Phone books work....I hate those things.
The only times I've ever seen a black widow was around or INSIDE a grill.
So they like outdoorsey food and recycle?
Who knew black widows were so granola?

I can't believe the poor Germans had to wait until APRIL to start Season Five!
: ) P
I'm tellng PETA on you!!!
You Rock! The next time I see a spider, I'll call you.
Dr. Artz would be ashamed of you. . .if he weren't scattered over half the Pacific. I, on the other hand, applaud you. One less spider in this world is all good!
Good for you. I'm a girl and I usually don't have trouble killing spiders. Except if I happen to be undressed. Then I get too scared to do it. Weird but true.
Well done you!
LOL! perfect.
careful, PETA will be after you :D
Uh, I hate spiders, all kinds of them! Well done!
@ Petra
Season five wasn't aired in Germany at all! And it won't be until January next year! We're up to a year after you, but real fans (like me) find a way to see it a few days after you ;)
You butthead that was my auntie!!!!!ROFLMAO
Love Ya always....
Proof a small blog post can make your day!
I would have squealed and made my husband recycle it!

Someone here would like to be a spider in the next reincarnation?
Jorge, you believe in reincarnation? lol
=)
Love that your are such a manly man and you recycle too!
Nice.
In college I killed a spider with my husbands huge textbook, and left it there for him to clean up. It's one of his favorite stories to tell at parties now.
Eeeewwwwww!!!!
Hahaha amazing!
That's my weapon of choice for giant cockroaches/waterbugs. Works every time. :)
I just hate spiders, they freak me out !! I think that you should get a prize for each spider you "recycle" - I would have been rich by now !
Great job! I would've just run the other way, screaming. =D
There's a fun video on YouTube based on this song by The Who called "Boris the Spider."
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8dSBWysmnM
This is random and not post-related, but ... are you on Twitter? I would've thought you'd be all over it! You should be, if you're not.
Good idea! I just hope that it's really dead...
Jorge, Please.
Start. Tweeting.
The TWEET is strong in you.

It is delicious?
loooooool
Spiderman, spiderman, does whatever spider can....

Ok thanks. I just spit coffee on my computer screen. Jorge! I don't know why I found that so funny but I did. Thanks for a good laugh.
Awesome indeed. Come for your writing, stay for your jokes.
I still remember the day I smashed a fly with my Simpsons DVD flyer. Get it, fly, flyer...
But we are the people and we gonna smash those bugs! Just like Obama!
*shudder* I hate spiders.
Way to recycle, though;)
Hi, I don't know that you know about Iran and today's in Iran (election and protesters) , I am fan of you and other character in lost and hope to see that you care about people in my country,
bests
Well done Jorge!
*shudders*
Way to re-use.
Jorge your spider story made my day! I love your sense of humor. :)
LOL
yay :)
jorge, spiders usually come in pairs, that s why you are not supposed to recicle them. The spiders partner will come for you! be carefull!
Maybe one of them was the spider that "killed" Nikki and Paulo......
Weird, huh?
Lol! X;-)
I saw a black widow once and ran screaming from the scene. Afterwards I realized that I should have killed it instead. You're a strong, brave man.
Ah, my hero. I hope its siblings don't come to exact revenge. :(
Good call.
And now I won't be able to sleep tonight.
Thank you for not posting a picture.
Hi Jorge
I hate spiders, all kinds. I would have used the phone book to call an exterminator!
Pen2
BWA!! You just made me spew cereal! That was very short and totally hysterical!
Jorge,
I hope it was the NYNEX one, thats the only one I would trust for such a task. Have I mentioned I hate spiders.
James
If I were you, I couldn't look for a number anymore... ^^
You did what most people would have done, Jorge. Although a telephone book was way overkill! :)
While I totally support your action, I recently discovered that only one person every five years gets bit by one of those things. That's wicked low. And what are the odds that the one person for this five years would be a celebrity. See? You're totally safe.

Can you bring a phone book by for her, please?
*LOL*
JORGE! can you blog and tell us about your experience with avocados in Hawaii? Post some picture sof them as well! I heard they are much bigger than the ones we get here in america!
Shot an elephant in my pajamas ...
For those who haven't seen. Turn on the news. =(

It's a recession-- sometimes we have to made due with what we have. Excellent use of an old relic Mr. Garcia. Well played.
There was a spider in my shower with me this morning. I let it be and finished my shower.
Just wondering if you can give us an update on the missing shoe? Any luck?

Hey gang,
I hope you hadn't had your worst nightmare ever, HUH?!
May the force be with this widow spider so it kills us in another life :]

Ewwwwwww.... I dropped 2 of those enclycopaedia dictionaries on a wood spider once.. the thing was as big as my foot.. it squished nicely.
Good job!
Where have you been?
Good idea! Eesh, that gave me the heebie jeebies.
Finally someone found a good use for the phone book!
In 1981, ed hardy and his wife formed
Hardy Marks Publications. In 2004, Christian Bale licensed the rights to
produce the high-end Ed Hardy UK line, which is based on Hardy's
imagery. Prior to the ed hardy
clothing line, Bale was the Head Designer at Von Dutch
Originals, which marketed the imagery of Kenny Howard. Don ed
hardy, commented, As demand for my artwork continues to
skyrocket, I felt it was ed hardy
clothing time to take on a partner that could help me manage
the demand and opportunities for the ed
hardy T-shirts name. Iconix is at the forefront of brand
management and clearly has the capabilities to dramatically grow the Ed
Hardy UK business. I'm thrilled to have them as a partner. Cheap Ed
Hardy are located in everywhere. We also believe that by owning the brand
alongside ed hardy clothing, the founder,
there will be opportunities to further leverage his iconic name along with his
new artwork. Largest selection of Ed Hardy T-Shirts and Ed Hardy here.
I'll just stay home. Not that stayng home will keep me safe, horrible accidents occur in homes all the time.
