For the last four consecutive evenings, I have been summoned to do 
battle with one of these big guys. Leg span 3.25 inches (8.25 cm). Now, 
you may think that he is a common Giant House Spider. But I have it on 
good authority that he and his comrades in terror were radioactively 
mutated to giant size in a top secret North Korean nuclear facility, and 
their venom laced with the horrific mind-control element 
Kimjongunium-117. They were then smuggled into the south and sent to the 
U.S. in a Hyundai shipping container. All this being a nefarious plot to 
turn us into mindless zombie commie followers of the chubby-cheeked 
dictator.

After doing my photographer's duty, I was required to do my husbandly 
duty:  I whacked him. In "The Sopranos" sense.
