Huh…just as I’m reading that, CBS Evening News runs an “up next” promo about the same story.

I wonder what’s on ESPN?

\<Squish\>

Victory is mine! Death to the arachnid invaders!  
Note: There will be no talk of this being a different spider. This was _the one_…I know it…I could see eight different kinds of vengeance in his eyes.

YES! YES ! YES! You are my hero, Hal! In that non-gay worshipful way. I would have done the same due diligence against this beast, if it was me… there. If I HAD to… With same wad of paper towels… my preferred method. But you did and I didn’t. DEATH to the such-and-such! **DEATH!**
