Okay, here's one for the word nerds.

The Washington Post's Mensa Invitational once again asked readers to take any word from the dictionary, alter it by adding, subtracting, or changing one letter, and supply a new definition. Here are this year's winners. Read them carefully. Each is an artificial word with only one letter altered to form a real word. Some are terrifically innovative:

1. Intaxication: Euphoria at getting a tax refund, which lasts until you realize it was your money to start with.

2. Reintarnation: Coming back to life as a hillbilly.

3. Bozone (n.): The substance surrounding stupid people, that stops bright ideas from penetrating. The Bozone layer, unfortunately, shows little sign of breaking down in the near future.

4. Cashtration (n.): The act of buying a house, which renders the subject financially impotent for an indefinite period of time.

5. Giraffiti: Vandalism spray-painted very, very high.

6. Sarchasm: The gulf between the author of sarcastic wit and the person who doesn't get it.

7. Inoculatte: To take coffee intravenously when you are running late.

8. Hipatitis: Terminal coolness.

9. Osteopornosis: A degenerate disease. (This one got extra credit.)

10. Karmageddon: It's like, when everybody is sending off all these really bad vibes, right? And then, like, the Earth explodes and it's like, a serious bummer.

11. Decafalon (n.): The grueling event of getting through the day consuming only things that are good for you.

12. Glibido: All talk and no action.

13. Dopeler Effect: The tendency of stupid ideas to seem smarter when they come at you rapidly.

14. Arachnoleptic Fit (n.): The frantic dance performed just after you've accidentally walked through a spider web.

15. Beelzebug (n.): Satan in the form of a mosquito, that gets into your bedroom at three in the morning and cannot be cast out.

16. Caterpallor (n.): The color you turn after finding half a worm in the fruit you're eating.

ROFLMAO... In Florida we have these non web weaving spiders called Huntsman spiders. They catch their prey like a wolf spider does, they run it down so they are very, very fast. Also, they are huge, much bigger than the average tarantula. They get 6 inches long.

Slave and I sitting together. The kids came and told us that there was a spider in the living room. Mom-slave had come from Ohio and was freaked out by the Florida bugs and she was working to get over her fears, so she volunteered to handle it. After the screaming died down, I got to see her have an “Arachnoleptic Fit”… Here is a pic of that small 4 inch Huntsman spider.

My sister is scared of spiders, and that one would definitely scare the bejeebus outta her if she saw it, RS.

LOL...Resident..here is some hope for your slave.

Go to the hardware store or any supermarket or Dollar General. Buy several cans of wasp spray, or WD 40, either works but I like the wasp spray, longer stream. Keep a can in each room.

Nail the spider from across the room with the wasp spray, watch it turn into a timy little ball of agony and death. Do the dance of the victorious Slave (resembles Football touchdown dance)

Hello my fellow Floridian,
Did you know that Florida and Australia have the biggest populations of Huntsman spiders. With so many spider hunts under my belt, when spray wasn’t handy, I found tossing a towel on them slowed them down enough to tackle. The thing is that the little bastards fight back… they try to bite so you can’t cup them in your hands. They are mildly poisonous… like a bee sting.

One slave tried the hairspray and lighter trick to make a flame thrower… never did that again. The flaming spider ran behind the couch and could have burned down the house.

When I lived in the Sarasota area, we would have one of those spiders wander into the house about every 3 months or so. I lived on about 10 acres with a stream on one side, a lagoon in back and reserve like undergrowth on the other side. It was full of wildlife, eagles, otters, gators, raccoons, armadillos and of course the big ass spiders and black widows.

My slave got over her fear of bugs by keeping some of the Black Widows we caught as pets.

FYI… Florida is also home to Red Widows. (non pets in pic)
Black widows are born white and aren't poisonous until they mature

I have a deal with the spiders, they don't come in the house, I don't suffocate them in wasp spray. Now those damned Palmetto bugs, they are another story...if the Cat doesn't get them, I get to laugh watching my Akita pouncing on them like a wolf on a mouse. They don't stand a chance as long as he bites them..if he just pounces they walk on with him on top.

Oh and if you have furries that come inside (cats, dogs, possoms) a little Borax (Borateem) sprinkled and rubbed into the carpets seems to keep the fleas outside.

Florida land of entertaining wildlife. Ever have a possom sit on your doorstep and knock to come in? Changed his little cream and pink mind when Komodo decided to introduce himself..BOY they have a lot of teeth, but he's bigger and the possom decided retreat was safer.
