As someone who is a bit of an arachnophobic, I'm not kidding when I say that is the most terrifying animal/insect I've ever seen. I'd probably rather encoutner a Grizzly Bear and take my chances then to have one of those sneak up on me.

Had one crawl across the windscreen of my car the other day lol

We had a pre season game here many years ago but I really do believe it is time to send a regular season game down here, the NFL is quite popular here with a bout 4 games a week shown on television including free to air television.
Steve Irwin was going to travel the world and locate the ten deadliest snakes. The episode kind of flopped when he found seven in his backyard.

Quit stuffing these London games down our throats. London did not care about WLAF or NFL Europe, yet the German teams all drew well and turned it into a big party with pre-game and post-game concerts outside of the stadiums. When they shut down NFL Europe it was the Amsterdam Admirals and five German teams . . . because the Germans supported it and *surprise, surprise* there are a shit ton of American servicemen there that like football and were also in attendance. Instead of taking money from the military to act like they respect our troops during pre-game and halftime activities, why not actually let some of them see Tom Brady or Patrick Mahomes.
I loved watching NFL Europe on DirecTV. If their enthusiasm is ANYTHING like the way they embraced NFL Europe, the Germans will make this very fun for all involved, players, staff, broadcasters, fans in attendance and viewers. This should have been done a long, long time ago.
Yeah and they got lots of good brewskies over there too...

I have/had an oline buddy (since around 2002) that is/was a huge storm fan. I say have/had because one day he was just gone. Not a word from him in about 6 years.
Things that make you go hmmm...

Easy being a Storm fan, they are pretty much the Patriots of Rugby League. My team (the Wests Tigers) is almost exactly like the Bengals, its uncanny.

Oh you're going off the movie. A lot of Americans make that mistake. I phrased it the way the natives would actually say it.

He does a damn good accent though.
