Will I get Night Owl points for quitting but not as much for getting fired?
Will I still be a member of the Owl's Pals? I'd hate to turn in my card. It's got a real owl feather under the lamination and everything.

Night Owl: Oh, indeed. I quit many a job ...better than being fired. You can keep your card... in fact, you get double points for quitting!

Are you sure its a giant spider and not some elaborate jerky sculpture?
O.o

Meh, I'm more afraid of tiny spiders. Harder to see coming. This thing would have to be a ninja for it to be truely frightening.
That and living in my country. And the only huge things we had to worry about were Moa and Haast's Eagle :)

It's a Hive Spider. A giant 'spider' made up of thousands of tiny spiders. They tiny spiders travel to a house, then link together to form a giant spider capable of smashing a house. Then they break apart to feast on the house dwellers.

Hmm, okay that *is* a pretty nasty thought.
But last I heard, spiders were still kinda vulnerable to fire. <.<

Once you go clown, you'll never get the stains out.

Once you go clown, you'll notice people want to help you out of swings with fireaxes.
