Has anyone seen a camel spider around here yet? Let me know if you do, because I'll need to freak out and emigrate... I haven't seen any yet, and I haven't heard anything in the news about arachnoid behemoths taking the southland by storm. So maybe it was all a
hoax?

congratulations on proper use of the term "emigrate." I have some students who think that I'm making that word up.
I had a bazillion baby spiders pour out of my file cabinet during class last week. They were all tiny, but added together--not much better than a camel spider. Ick.
Did you just Snopes yourself? Way to uphold your standards.
And if you insist on using this whole camel spider thing as an excuse to emigrate and you don't come back from El Salvador in a couple of weeks, then I'm not driving your ass to the airport when you leave.
Not yet-- am CERTAIN beyond certain it was a hoax.
It was just a hoax.
It was just a hoax.
It was just a hoax.
This is what I will repeat to myself as I'm falling asleep, having this hoax-of-an-idea brought back into my mind after reading this comment. Thankyouverymuch.
Also, where's your new, latest and greatest blogger poll?!?? I'm on the edge of my seat in anticipation.
PS And thanks for calling me back yesterday. Now you'll never know what amazing thing I had to tell you...
1) I did call you back. Uh, later. Your number didn't work. Or something...
2) If I end up ditching SoCal for a spider-free habitat, it will be for somewhere without land-bridges to the continental US or the Middle East. El Salvador would be way too easy for the camel spiders to track me down. Right now it's looking like either the Galapagos or Antarctica. And THE WIFE shouldn't worry, I'll come back to get her -- we'll look like those "DON'T CROSS THE FREEWAY" signs down in Pendleton where the husband is booking and dragging his whole family behind him. With a huge camel spider in hot pursuit.
3) Um, you need a new file cabinet! Actually, I would probably insist on moving to a new district at that point...
