Goodbye Cruel World

Pink Floyd, The Wall 1979

I thought it would be amusing to take a video of Daniel, our Pinktoe tarantula (avicularia avicularia) catching a cricket.  Yes, I am fully aware this may indicate that I have gone to the dark side, what with me posting horrid videos of arachnid-led death and destruction upon hapless crickets.

Perhaps then, you may find it even more unconscionable that I would post a video of Arun, my simian son (homo sapien) doing his best rendition of our tarantula catching said cricket.

And I wonder why on earth I never get selected for BlogHer's Voices of the Year.

    Jacob enjoyed the video! We may be watching it a dozen times, too. :)

    Hey - you WERE selected last year, as one of the finalists, where the coolest kids hang out.

    And I dig the whole "circle of life" vibe you got going here.

    Maybe if you dipped the crickets in chocolate Arun would actually eat one.

    I would totally nominate you especially if you do a live re-enactment.
