barking spider

The common name of a mysterious specie of spider. Its full name is the California Wood Barking Spider. Known to make appearances after eating BBQ'd food and drinking large quantities of beer. Also very commonly shows up after Chinese or Mexican food has been ingested. Has yet to be seen by any living person, giving rise to the theory that it may in fact be a microscopic specie of spider. Scientists can not agree on much, but what they all agree is that this is one creature whose bark is clearly not worse than its bite. And by bite, of course the foul stench that follows the bark is being implied.
Person 1: Dude, what the hell was that? Did you just crap your pants?

Person 2: Nah man. It was one of those dang barking spiders.
