Rick James = C. crawshayi

Credit goes out to the individual who originally stated this in another forum, I wish I could remember who said it - but I'm pretty sure he/she may have an account here.

Thsi doesnt belong in the watering hole and that out of topic jabber is annoying thats what 'report this thread' is for. Its got content concearning tarantulas so it bleongs in the tarantula board considering its "Tarantula Oreintated" by finding the top ten slang words we use in reference to our tarantulas

Sheri · Sep 14, 2004

never heard leggs either...
eggs with legs is much more amusing to say anyway...

Perhaps then I should just lament the general state of this forum ?

But I guess overall this forum is precisely what the public wants, and has created it to be...Still doesn't make it less fluffy...
T

Maybe one day we can have a seperate non WH Fluff forum for 'look at my pic' type stuff? seriously...

WE dont need another sticky, we just need some forum with the basics covered for newbies... a newbie forum...How to pack...and ahem how to unpack ????..How to carry your box is missing...

Wait a sec.... are 'we' having an argument? If so, I don't mean to start any type of dispute. I'm rather new to this forum and, well, although signed up since last year... this is the first time I am actually quite active within threads... but, I mean no harm and no offense, and then again I may just be another newb getting the wrong impression of discussions.

Please clarify.

pet dirt= H. lividum or any species of that sort
crix= crickets

Actually, as a newbie I find this thread quite helpful. I had to read alot of posts to figure out what an avic was, (now my fave type already, lol) and alot of other stuff, this sort of list helps me navigate the boards better and understand what people are talking about. Keep adding people, this is a great idea!

Gene · Sep 14, 2004

Forgot "Pet rock" = any T that just sits there for days on end.

kellygirl · Sep 14, 2004

The thing is... WE'VE ALREADY DONE THIS THREAD! And probably more than once...

And all I did was a simple search of "lingo" in the Tarantulas forum. Search functions are a good thing, my friends...
