“You can tell a man who boozes by the company he chooses, and the pig got up and slowly walked away”.

Charlotte’s Web – The Lost Chapter:

Charlotte couldn’t handle all of the fame her web tagging thrust upon her. She couldn’t handle the glitz and glamor which was the county fair. So she turned to the only friend that understood her. Pabst.

what was in that web? must have been really good

I’m glad the spider wasn’t driving!

If Pabst is the only friend that understands her, she should kill herself NOW.

Do they have A.A. for spiders?

Ate a mosquito who had just fed from someone who had imbibed a bit too much.

I remember an experiment in the 1960’s when they gave garden spiders LSD and they spun wacked out webs.

Liowatcher, that’s hilarious!

A spider in the hand is worth two in the Busch…

His dad ain’t gonna be happy about that…

margueritem: Wocka wocka wocka!

DF, good to see you back!

okay, count me puzzled. I love Lio but I guess my eyes are getting bad. Any idea what is in the middle of the web – does it relate to the spider’s condition?

@Ciji3: It’s a beverage can (assuming beer) with the top angled to about the 11 o’clock position.

Lio’s eerie whistle drove him to drink.
