What Scares You?

Fear of God, the afterlife, centipedes ( I've had friends that have been stung by them, nasty critters....), New York City sewer rats (those fuckers are hard to kill!), going out into the ocean and no way off coming back, 9-1-1 happening all over again in some other capacity, CHINA, the economy, going up on stage and not being able to perform and last but not least.....loss of erection.
 
centipedes ( I've had friends that have been stung by them, nasty critters....), .

They are legendary in my neighborhood. My dad smeared a 5 incher a couple years ago. I have lived with them all my life. I am so used to them now I don't even bother to wad up TP to kill the little buggers anymore; I just smash 'em with my bare fist. :crash: But yeah, I hate those critters. They are quick suckers too.

^ Do these 5 ers ever make way into the house ??

Are these variants the flat or round type specimens ?


:chills:

I'll take a rattle snake coiled at 2 feet before I'd take a jumbo centipede crawling up my leg !
How about the albino (white translucent) centipedes up there ? :shakes:

Hmmm, albino 'pedes? Can't say I've ever seen one. My pops crushed that ugly bugger outside our door at night. I think it was actually a millipeded. A close friend had one just as big in his laundry room once. Biggest I've seen personally is about 3 inches. One spring (that's when they come out - they are nowhere in the winter, which is NICE), there were 4 of them on my basement bathroom wall, scattered all over. Never felt the same about my crapper again. :uohs:

EDIT: This is the more common breed we get up here:

I fear the day I forget what my son Sean looked like.

It's not about me touching anything . . . I think what it is is that I have the tendency to feel like single salmon egg . . bobbing about, just ready to become gobbled up by a 30 lb Lake Trout (Mackinaw) while in vast water ;)

I think that my fear of water depths all started from boating in Lake Tahoe where, particularly in past years, the water is remarkably clear and you could see down to unbelievable depths. There was this one area where I used to troll for rainbow trout - The depth 300 - 400 yards off the shore was about three to four fathoms and all of the sudden there would be this shelf that dropped down to black unknown depths. That contrast freaked me out ! Always will ! I'd probably drown in panic if tossed overboard at that particular area of the lake.

I used to set the 9 horsey Mercury outboard engine at it's slowest speed dead ahead and I'd go up to the bow of the aluminum boat, look directly down and cruise over the top of that shelf, quite often, in the hopes of overcoming the excitement . . and I'll be damned if the sight didn't take my breath away each time :dunno:

I totally understand that...like I said I wasent being rude or facetious

Facetious, those mo'fos came close to scurrying up my matress many times when I lived in P.R. and I could swat those bastards with my machete 3-5 times and they still manage to get away if not hit correctly......still makes my skin crawl:eek:

Iranian initiated Electro Magnetic Pulse weaponry.

Two of these things, launched from a freighter for example, one on the east coast, the other on the west coast, would cause an unimaginable hell in this nation. Everything and anything that requires the use of electronics would fail ! Now Think About That For A Second !! All commerce would stop ! There would be famines ! What the fuck would you eat after a month or two or three or four ?. . . the government wouldn't be in any condition to rescue you even in the event that they had safeguards in place. The very government that you had known, good or bad, would cease to exist.

Every man and woman would have to act for his / herself !

While struggling to bring the nation back, we'd already have been surrounded by our foes
If you were lucky enough to have retained your '69 Pontiac Firebird (non electronic ignition), who's gonna remove all of the roadblocks (millions of disabled vehicles) from the roadway ?

This form of attack makes 11, September look like ice cream, cake and cookies ! The idea that Iran is processing weapons grade material has our national defense advisers / officials scurrying for answers.
