Oh, oh, I like wearing a girl-skin. Rainbow likes me better this way! She doesn't run away from me very much at all! Plus, it feels nice in this skin. I'm little and soft and squishy! Girls are fun, yes yes yes!

Hey, Coyote, you old flea-catcher! If you want the Corn Girl to like you, you should put on a girl-skin too!

Rumble, rumble, roar, sky man! Is that my old brother Iya whose drums I hear? Iya, big man, walk more softly! If your feet were smaller, you could dance between the raindrops!

Rainbow, do you like the rain?

I went to the Algonquin Hotel! But I didn't see any Big River People living there! I didn't see old Grandmother Nokomis! I didn't see funny old Nanabozho! It's not Algonquin at all! Humans are strange things.

There's a very pretty lady who lives there! I brought her a pretty present and she didn't eat me!

I think she likes me.

April's a fool! Not like clever Spider! Oh, oh, Rainbow, did you miss me? I've been oh so quiet, tricky tricky, but I haven't been gone! I have a present for you, Rainbow! Come to my house-web and I'll give it to you!

Norse lady, do you like your picture rock? My clever Crash is pouting that he missed you! You should come to visit him!

Okay so. Hi there. This is Crash typing this, not Spider. The bossman's off who knows where (that guy is fast, man - let him out of your sight for one second and he's just gone, like crazy fast) but he wanted me to leave a message on the web here. The following is his direct words:

"Oh, oh, tell the Norse lady to come and get the picture rock!"

So I'm guessing whoever that is knows what that means and, uh. Norse lady? Come and get the picture rock?

Yeah. I don't know either. I think mostly he's crazy, but crazy smart, pretty much, not crazy crazy. I think. Though he does eat some weird shit.

Tommy Spider, pudding and pie,
Kissed the girls and made them cry!
But when the boys came out to play,
Tommy Spider ran away!

Little boys are nasty, nasty things! They try to pull off my legs! I bit one and he cried. Oh, oh, poor little boy! His poor hand will never be the same! He didn't taste so nice, either!

Rainbow, you're hiding, but I'm not seeking! Come out, come out, miss!

♪ All around the mulberry bush
The Spider chased the Rainbow... ♫

My mortals are clever little bipeds, but Spider is the king. Number Seven fixed up a microwave and Hairy Jerry stole most of an oven, but I'm the one who tapped us into the 'lectric grid to make the whole thing go!

And little Sweet Pea made cookies! Who's hungry?
