your worst fears

[ZFarms Productions]

so what are everyones worst fears? they dont have to be weird or original just wondering what some peoples fears are. death and lonliness are the top of my list of ordinary things but my biggest fear is michael flatley lord of the dance... like chandler bing said in an episode of "Friends" "his legs flail about as if independent from his body!" god that guy freaks me out and scares the crap out of me.

[Luis Caffesse]

Flying.
I know I'm old enough to realize better....but I swear to this day the thought of a gigantic chunk of metal being able to fly through air just seems wrong to me, very unnatural.

[jpbankesmercer]

I'm with Luis and Spiders. Oh and men with big spiked clubs comming for me in the night!

[Luis Caffesse]

I'm with Luis and Spiders.

Actually, Luis and spiders don't mix very well either.
Apparently you and I have a few things in common JP.

As far as men with spiked clubs...nah, they don't scare me.

[jpbankesmercer]

and men with hairy faces called lumpy. :evil:

[MattinSTL]

I just had a HUGE spider bite on the side of my neck... it's almost healed or else I'd have posted a picture. Still spiders don't bother me. It's ironic that I was also training to be a commercial pilot before 9/11.

I'm mostly scared of Goblins.

Okay seriously I'm terrified that I'll die before I do anything meaningful with my life. There's nothing that scares me more then that.

Ive lived a life not fearing anything intill I fell in love. Im terrified that something will happen to her.

[Luis Caffesse]

just wait until you have children
:)

[jermz]

making a bad movie :)

Yep. I've got that one. Don't consider myself violent, but that would probably bring out the killer in me.

[HorseFilms]

making a bad movie :)

I've already faced that fear.:cheesy:

[Luis Caffesse]

making a bad movie :)

It won't seem so scary after the first time
:)

[Kirk Gillock]

Making one bad movie isn't a big deal. Everyone's allowed one mistake. It's making two bad movies that we should all fear.

[CaptainMench]

NO KIDDING!!!!

Had a bad dream about a lady and a kid in a van on I80 outside Sacramento... next day Linda calls me... "Hey - I'm up in Sacramento, you need anything?" Zachary with you? "Yeah, why?" Just be careful on the way home is all... Love you.

Kids are a BIG one.

one of the reason I dont want kids. You can add that to my fears list...having kids and making a bad film.

I'm terrified that I'll die before I do anything meaningful with my life. There's nothing that scares me more then that.

While I plug away at grad school, pretty much putting EVERYTHING on hold to do it, I always wonder if I will do something meaningful after school. I feel like I am wasting SOOO much time. I lie awake at night thinking about that one.

1. Spiders
2. Clowns, Carnies, and Midgets
3. Not so much heights, but FALLING from heights
4. Failure

[Luis Caffesse]

3. Not so much heights, but FALLING from heights


Nice distinction.
:)

I feel the same way about bullets...it's not the bullet that scares me, but the hole it can make in my body.

[ZFarms Productions]

never finding love is another one of mine and so is failure... there arent many animals im afraid of.

[Taryllou]

all the little beasts creeping everywhere, whether it is little insects, spiders or also mice and rats and snakes...

[Jeremy Ordan]

Spiders.

Ever seen arachnophobia? I haven't. Completely petrified of spiders.

Sometimes I'm afraid that my body will forget how do handle involuntary actions and I will have to be conscience about my heart beating, eyes blinking, blood flow...

Come to think about it... I'm afraid of just about everything, but clowns are somewhere close to the top of the list. Clowns and mimes. Yeah... Clowns, mimes, and people with one syllable birth names...

[NO CA$H]

Spiders And Airplanes, Man

[Jeremy Ordan]

3. Not so much heights, but FALLING from heights


That's another huge one of mine. I have no problems on buildings, airplanes, very tall balconies, sky diving, bungie jumping. Make me stand on a two foot chair to change a lightbulb and my knees shake like I'm in Riverdance. So small heights.

Why? If I fall out of an airplane and the parachute doesn't open, I'm dead, no pain, just death. If I fall off a chair, it's going to hurt.

Once I pass that distance and move from pain to death I'm fine with heights.

[CallaghanFilms]

"Fear itself", no?

My daughter's coming of age, though still far off, scares the hell outta me. :cry: I think the joining of a convent may be in her future. I actually have a few lines on deck to use for any mamaluc that wants to date her. The best one I've ever heard was from a friend who met his daughter's rather disrespectful "suitor" downstairs - grabbed him - and planted a kiss right on the shell shocked kids face...then said, "Anything you do to my daughter, I do to you...think about it!"

Needless to say the lesson was learned and learned well.

As an undergraduate I spent a year in India. The windows in my room had bars, but no glass. One evening I was sitting on my bed reading. I looked over and on the wall was a greenish spider at least the size of my hand. I throw my sandal at it and it skittered away. Never got it. My greatest was to wake up and see that spider next to me.

Remember that travel commercial where somebody books an 'exotic location with mosquito netting'? Then they wake up in the hotel and the room is a cloud of insects? That was my room. I had mosquito netting, but still not comfortable. I also stopped trying to kill the spider, since they were at least eating the insects.

[Jeremy Ordan]

In honor of this discussion , here's my pitch for a horror movie (i think it will scare most people who have posted in this thread):

A man, dressed as a clown, but who is really a mute/mime like carnie midget attacks someone's family and friends when no one is around with a lot of spiders and snakes. He tortures these people, like making them stand on chairs and convincing them that they are going to make a bad movie or that their lives will be wasted. Then our hero comes home but the clown/mime/carnie/midget/snake and spider wrangler attacks him and throws him off a balcony after stapling a playgirl to his hands.

Oooh, and Pookie laughs as you fall

You definetely have more guts than I do, I would of been on the plane after seeing a spider like that on the wall.

[HorseFilms]

That spider reminds me of the face huggers from Alien. That's crazy.

[MattinSTL]

I wish I hadn't watched that spider clip... I was totally NOT afraid of spiders and now I'm 100% freaked out. That was horrific on a grand scale. The really uncomfortable thought is that spider could hold himself on the wall, hold up a frog that weighs at least an ounce or two, and concentrate on chewing it's head off... all at the same time. I'm sure there are some shocking medical photos of people who rolled over on a spider like that in their sleep.

BTW sleep well tonight.:beer:


Hey the really cool thing about this thread is how many things I've got in common with a lot of you guys.

[Luis Caffesse]

In case any of you were wondering what it might look like if you ran into one of these things....

It's a little worse than your average mosquito bite (http://spaces.msn.com/members/PebblePie/Blog/cns!1plJpv3UEOIReUpGaIkodd3Q!1240.entry)

[jpbankesmercer]

ohhhh nice. I cant look at the clip now...its nearly bedtime..

[kimko]

man! burrrrrrr.. spiders what a clip... i was in Maui wrangling on mendez ranch they put me up in this shack i'm sleeping on the floor i wake up in the middle of the nite i had a cane spider the size of my hand on my face i freaked i threw my boot at it it didn't faze him i spent all nite trying to kill that spider.... finally..... i didn't sleep all nite......but my biggest fear is dying a nobody...

[XCheck]

Spiders? Unpleasant, but not a big deal.

Love flying, love little girls with long hair, love heights... not so much the thought of falling, though... I guess I am a freak.

Talking about my worst fears would probably qualify this thread as political (SURPRISE!), so I'll just say it has something to do with where humanity is headed...

[Luis Caffesse]

i had a cane spider the size of my hand on my face i freaked i threw my boot at it it
Hope you didn't bust your nose in the process.

[Zach Lien]

i was in the pool one time swimming like a happy minnow. next thing i know there's a huge water spider on my neck- just as i brushed him off he bit me. i think thats where most of my spider fear comes from.

also- this one time i was frollicking in the cornfields, and i ran right into a garden spider's web- i saw the spider in the web as i ran into it face first- the worst was not knowing where on my body it was.

in the car- my friend was driving- this was when i was about 16. there was a huge wolf spider walking on the roof of the car- i told them to stop the car, they slowed to about 20 mph and i bailed out the passenger door.

as a wee little boy i was playing with my ninja turtles- i picked up splinter, and there was this huge ass flourescent green/black spider on him. i remember punishing the spider by drowning him in my spit.

[kimko]

hey Luis :laugh: :cry: :laugh: hahahah i can't stop laughing moe larry moe larry i can just picture me doing that!hahahahahahah......

[BLUESPIDER]

why is everyone hating on spiders huh?

[HorseFilms]

I like spiders. I think they're pretty cool looking.

[Slimothy]

Kids. It would cut into my drinking for a few weeks (Well, at least until the adoption process is done). Kidding, lol.

I'm mostly afraid of my dad dying. He's the shizznit.

[Pale Rider]

I totally feel the spider thing... A couple years ago I was bitten by a brown recluse. That was without a doubt, the most intense full-body pain I have ever experienced - and pain is not something I ever have a problem with (I've broken several bones and not realized for days). But I thought for sure I was going to die from that darn spider!

I also feel where Horse is coming from about not being there to help if family or friends were in trouble. That probably comes even before spiders. I spend hours upon hours in Gold's Gym preparing myself for whenever something like that might happen ;-)

[HorseFilms]

Hell, it looks like your avatar cat can handle your dirty work for ya.:thumbup:

[NO CA$H]

I was watching this show on animal planet and this lady was bitten by a brown recluse on her finger. When a brown recluse bites you they inject acid into you're skin and if its not treated quickly the doctors have to cut a big chunk of flesh out of you. This lady had to have her finger removed and the poison was still in her after that and she had to have another removed.

[Pale Rider]

Yeah, recluses are pretty nasty bro... The doctor couldn't tell me why my skin didn't sluff, but I sure epitomized all of the other symptoms. The whole night I was pouring sweat, with weird muscle spazms and shocks going all throughout my body... it was like a pulsing, full body migrane. I was actually blacking out every 15 minutes or so. Pretty freaky. Oh, for the record, I grabbed a lighter and deep fried that little devil after he bit me... ever since then, I feel a personal vendetta against all spiders. The little demons must all die horrible deaths by my hand. :thumbsup:

[Luis Caffesse]

My God that sounds nasty!
Lucky for you you wound up okay.

I guess there's reason humans are naturally cautious of spiders.

I fear of losing my rationality and logic, nothing is sadder then watching a man lose his sanity, and become physiologically unbalanced. Wealth and material is replaceable the mind however is irreplaceable.

Anhar... yeah I used to worry about losing my sanity, but really it hasn't been that bad.

For you guys who can't get enough of the Camel Spider... check this. Imagine sleeping on the sand with these babies. Oh man.

Luckily you ahve your rationality and logic and therefore probably realize that statistically the odds are in your favor of keeping them.
:)


I agree with you though.
I look at my grandparents and I'm shocked to see how varied the deterioration that comes with age is. My wife's grandmother is in her early 80's, doing well physically, but goes in and out of lucidity...not knowing where she is half the time. Meanwhile my grandfather is 99 years old and still sharp as a tack mentally, but he has to go around in a wheelchair now due to circulation problems. But I swear, he's more up to date with current events than I am. When I call him he debates politics with me... and most of the time he's got some damn good points to make.

Add that to my list of fears.... seeing my grandfather deteriorate mentally.
Hopefully it'll never happen.

[Kirk Gillock]

kimko - It looks like 10 legs, but the front two are actually some kind of feelers or antenna (maybe UHF). :) Here's a diagram http://www.enhg.org/b/b16/16_24b.gif

Those spiders look just like the alien babies in Alien and Aliens. Creepy.

[Jeremy Ordan]

This is going to sound like a strange fear, but in the last couple of years I've gotten really afraid of 14-17 year old white kids who attend private schools and come from these upper class high income neighborhoods. I think they all carry guns as they cruise in their SUVs listening to Eminem and Tupac through some massive sound system that costs more than I earn in a year. They scare me...

[Jay Rodriguez]

have a few but spiders, yuck

My worst fear, besides never following my dreams?

Waking up one day only to read a newspaper headline claiming that Clint Eastwood is gay. Clint coming out of the closet....I'd have to shoot myself.

[kimko]

hey i massaged one of his wives a few years ago....... another fear of mine is massaging a male client and him getting excited whoa WHOA! STAY ON YOUR STOMACH DUDE! or worst yet getting a massage and me poppin one sorry i must have been dreaming.......of a GIRL!

[MattinSTL]

There's a lot of issues in that post right there.

While we're on the subject I always thought massages would be sexual and for me they aren't... I get so zonked the best I could get is a non-emotional finish.

[crayolamarker]

what about the special ending?

[kimko]

yeah doing a george costanza bit sorry.....

[kimko]

what about the special ending?
what! you want a slap on the arsss!

[kimko]

oh man i got to tell you i worked on the big white guy in GLADIATOR his name is RALF something from germany. big fu@# he's working on the VIKINGS in canada. his back was hurtin they put on 45lbs of armor and skins

[crayolamarker]

Theres this place down the street from my work that if you go in and tell them your birthday you get a special ending for $30. The only reason I know is that my old coworker liked to go there.

everything.

[profnoxin]

Burning alive while choking on a giant mouthful of cenitpedes. That would be the worst... and also, kind of embarassing.
