    How is that hate? It clearly has a heart on the sticker. Heart means love...

    You do make a valid point. Except no one wants to see what your tail gate looks like. This is about my tailgate, not yours. Though I suppose you can hang around and try some of the suggestions, if you wanna remove it...

    This has nothing to do with helping the OP get the stickers off his tailgate.
    Also this thread is anything but goofy.

    Sorry, I drive a Tacoma. And I apologize for this getting off the topic of you "tail"gate. We should stay topic. Back to: you, your unicorn spewing unicorn, and the good ole boys that were chasing you.

    I forgot about the good ol boys. Have they come back? If you would lower the truck and put the proper valve caps on you would get such good MPG that you could avoid them by not getting gas.

    That's very big of you to apologize. Speaking of spiders, this might help get those stickers off.
    Drive your truck to Christofer's house. Place large, alien looking spider on tailgate. Chris will then use his home made flame thrower to kill the spider and removing the sticker in one step. Since you will be there be sure to work out a deal for the valve caps.

    He could certainly avoid them for a long time. I mean 150mpg is quite a bit.

    Have we decided who is going to punch the unicorn? They need to have good insurance in case they get caught on the horn.

    When does Obamacare go into effect? I mean we would all be in the same boat at that point.

    So you all know, I had an incredible raging battle with spiders not too long ago. They had swarmed my house. For weeks, I would kill a couple, and then try to ignore them. This seemed to go fine, but they began to build up forces at my front entrance. being as my entrance is about 12' high, I let this slide for some time. One day, one of these fuckers decided to repel down, and go "One on One" with me. Now.....I was scared, I wont lie.....but I was victorious. It was close. Thus I began a full frontal attack on their strong hold of my residance. Of course, I used only the most potent commercial spider killer I could get my hands on. They kept comming. I then changed up with some ant killer, roach killer, etc., to try and throw their stratagy off a bit, and to prevent them from building a tollerance, or imunity from the chemicals I was using. This had very little affect. One spider tried to jump me when I was trimming my lawn. I attacked it with my weed eater. It was messy, but it lost. After that, one came running out at my, shook its fist, then ran away. Panicked, as I was fearing this was a sign of further attack, but with reinforcements, I dropped back inside, and tried to plan for the oncomming assault. Things were quiet for a few days. They massed, but didnt attack. Things I used against them include:
    Fire (Flame thrower)
    Rocks
    SHoes
    Misc. Chemicals
    Hair Spray (My WIfes)
    Vacuum
    Spare tire
    hammer (very affective, but need to get too close)
    WD-40
    PB Blaster
    Mobil-1 10w-30
    Air soft gun (Barretta)
    Home made compressed air BB gun, with a fire rate of about 14,000 BB/min
    Skill saw
    2x4 (the wood, not my truck)
    etc.
    These had little affect
    Now.....time passed. About 6 months total. I was at a loss, and my only option that remained was buring the house down. I was fine with this. One day, as I was going into my store room to get some tools, I turned around, and there......on the wall......with fire in its 45 eyes.......was this huge ground attck spider. Im guessing he was a ground attack type, as he was about 2 foot off the ground, and clinging to the wall. I was face to face with this 8 legged creature of death. Now....most (if any) people would have died from fear on the spot, or caved in and surrendered. I, however, thinking somwhat clearly, stunned it with a high pitched scream, that may have sounded much like a frightened 10 year old girl, then, as I flailed my arms wildly (agian, to try and confuse the spider....not flailing out of drop dead fear), somehow got ahold of a can of somthing. I smcked the cap off by hitting it against the wall, and began to spray the shit out of this thing that was holding me hostage. It didnt die.....but rather began to freeze in place. As it stopped moving, I looked down at the can I was holding, and read "3M Super 90". It was some kick ass spray adheasive that I happened to have. So....not being in danger anymore, I went inside, confident that he will not be able to attack for some time. The next day, I went out and checked on him. He was still glued to the wall. So.....Off to work I went. Now.....This is where it gets strange......I came home from work, and ALL THE SPIDERS WERE GONE! Yes. ALL OF THEM! Front yeard = Gone. Back yard = Gone. However, the glued to the wall spider was still there. Time has passed, and I have YET to see another spider at my house. The glued to the wall spider is still there.....to some degree, as a Gecko familly has moved in, and has been snacking on his body, so he's down to 1 leg, and his mid section. The Geckos and I are allies. The Spiders are gone, with no trace. I WAS VICTORIOUS!

    Use a 12g shotgun up close should take care of the sticker, one shot to each side.

    This is probably one of the best posts I have read on this site in my 6ish months of being a member. I applaud you good sir on your valiant efforts against those spiders!
