I found a use for those flimsy flexible taiji swords that can't hurt anyone..
killing giant spiders that freak the crap out of you when you are typing on your computer. I was just sitting here looking at The Onion and giggling. Then i look up and see this giant spider just scury from behind my window blinds across the wall.
AAAAAAH! This thing was big.
I tried to throw a cup at it and hit it, but he was evading that and headed back to the drapes. So i pulled out my sword and started smacking the drapes. I knocked it down onto the sill apparently. I either wounded it or another jump out and ran across the wall. I proceeded to wack that one down from the wall but he was still going. I tried to stab it, but these damn flexible swords don't stab at all. So it scuried under my chair. I flipped it over and he was sitting underneath it and I wacked him.
I dunno if this thing is poisonous or not. But i dont want that thing crawling over my bed at nite. icky.
