Dr. Bunsen Honeydew, Muppet Labs:
"How many times have you awakened at night in the dark and asked yourself, 'Is there a Gorilla in here!?' And how many people do you know whose vacations were ruined because they were eaten by undetected gorillas?"
This is a thread for us to share what makes us quake, shake, or occasionally 'tingle' with fear. The things we dare not think about right before we fall asleep, and the first thing to jump to the fore when we awaken in the dark.
My 3 big no-no's are Bears, Gorillas, and Cars.
If I ever realized that I was in the same enclosed space as a Bear or a Gorilla, I would probably have a heart attack. If not, I'd probably kill myself and go to hell simply because it was the fastest way out of there. Yea, I'm greater frightened of those 2 creatures of Earth than I am of reliving all my sins for eternity.
I'm also scared of Dinosaurs, but only in my dreams, and then only half the time. My Scaly dreams tilt alternately between pissing my pants and running for my life from a huge female dino, or getting involved with her in a mutually beneficial relationship.
As for cars, it's just difficult to see them as non threatening when each time I get on my bike I relive the experience of being thrown 30 feet. Not that it was that scary at the time, or even that damaging, but it was my closest brush with death yet and my whole body hurt for a month.
Your turn, Internet.
