More often than not, unintentional humor is the sort of thing that makes you fall on the floor laughing. Sure, we all love a good joke, but the reality aspect of something in your daily progression through this world being accidentally hilarious trumps any joke you’ll ever hear.

Such was the case a few evenings ago. Sitting next to Mi Amore doing what has become our nightly ritual — the Yahoo! Games Daily Crossword — I found myself slowly start to chuckle, then laugh out loud, at a certain clue’s answer.  I wondered, out loud, how it could have slipped by the censors.

The funniest part about it is that I almost completely missed it.  And, for someone who has radar for absurdity in the daily grind, that’s depressingly impressive (is that possible?).  Granted, it was late, but how did I almost miss this?

Okay, I’m thinking of making this “Childhood, Remixed” thing a new category. It depends on how much I feel like doing it (and, relative to how often I post in general, posting once a year to this category would make it worthwhile). I present to you, in honor of the fact that stores are selling Halloween decorations more than two months in advance, The Giant, Hairy Spider:

The giant, hairy spider
Walked up and freaked me out
Landed in my hair
And made me scream and shout
Gobbled up my eyeballs
And ate my nostrils, too
Now the giant, hairy spider
Is coming after you
