What do you think about one of these as a pet.....

Looks nice and cuddly.

 

I have always found the most suitable pets to be the ones you have to be deathly afraid of if they ever get loose. Why stop at a giant centipede? I'm thinking a Polar Bear would be a truely wonderful pet.

 

Why the hell would you want a giant bug as a pet? -that thing will get loose and crawl up your ass, mark my words.

I would never have one of those things anywhere near my house.

 

See! I almost kicked in my monitor!

 

Im probably going to get a tarantula once I get my new rig settled and save up some more money again.

Trick is to get something that looks creepy as hell but is relatively harmless and you can actually pick up.

Try one of these:

or one of these:

Is that a Pet or a shot from the set of the villan in the next Godzilla sequel? I agree with Blisshead, that thing's going to invade your body in the night and lay eggs. Next thing you know a head with titanium teeth is going to be staring at you from the hole in your sternum.

 

gosh!
just get a dog!

 

THAT was funny. Blisshead prophesizing! (I'm SURE I spelled that wrong)

 

What do I think? I think you're nuts.

If you must...

I like this bit best...

This is the species you're talking about...

"...a weird fascination on the morbid appetites of the hysterical and insane" sounds about right to me

 

A pet? HELL ******* NO.

Something to look at in a zoo. Yes.



One cool thing about those nasties though, they can tottally kill a large tarantula. If you want a pet that is somewhat risky/bad ass and still handible, get a small/medium snake.

 

If you do, just be carefull, they ARE poisonous. In fact, it may require a license to own one. I know a license is required for poisonous snakes anyhow.

 

unless you have a long history of ownership of similar creatures, getting a poisonous variant is a severely bad idea. that is why my gerbil and anole are 100% poison-free!

robb.

 

i hope your'e kidding ...
these things are fairly common around here , in fact , i killed one that was crawling across the kitchen floor just last month ...
i don't like bugs that can hurt . certain spiders , scorpions ... i kill 'em as soon as i find them . nasty critters !

 

*** is wrong w/ a dog, or cat? Geezus...

 

If he's like me its probably because he doesnt have room or money for one.

I cant keep something like that in my dorm and the price of feeding a tarantula is zilch. I imagine its about the same for one of those deadly buggers.

My medical bill would be smaller with one of the tarantulas I posted though.

 

You could always get a nice goldfish. --that would not invade your ass in the middle of the night.

 

LMAO!!!

BOO!​
