Baby Sparkles. No doll that old should still be popping up in odd places. Fortunately she lives in WY now.






on edit: A close second would be the actor Stephen Merchant.

Oijia Boards ... my mom says they're evil and I believe her.

[RadicalModerate]

Black Widow Spiders
(but only the ones that sneak up on you while you are sleeping. other black widows just creep me out, the same way that scorpions and big centipedes do).

(also, not being able to resist explaining my position despite explicit directions from the OP not to do so)

Bad Mexican food and signs that say "Next Restrooms 50 Miles"

Oijia Boards ... my mom says they're evil and I believe her.

I second that! My girlfriend messed with it for a while, until she spotted the pointer moving by itself. It scared her so bad that she quickly threw her Quija board away. Why play around with a possible gateway to the unknown spirit world? As you follow the pointer around on the board with your partner, the unknown is who the hell is controlling this pointer, because it sure as hell isn't me?

[Just the facts]

People who wear tunics. I never trust them.

Political posts outside the Politics forum.

Which is why I deleted them.

Any thing that can fly and sting. I have hunted rattlesnakes (caught them live, brought them home), I live with/around brown recluse spiders, scorpions, and an occasional black widow, no problem, bees/wasps, big problem.

bees/wasps/hornets

[Pete]

I've always hated heights and more specifically, the feeling of falling.

So, I have a deep fear of most thrill rides and that lose-your-stomach sensation.

I'm 6' 5", 220lbs, and you will laugh at me if you see me around anything like that. I will flutter my arms and run screaming like a little girl if one of those get near me, lol.

[kwhey]

Bees/Wasps/Hornets and spiders. All evil and coming to get me.

[Oh GAWD the Smell!]

For me....I ain't skeert of hardly anything.

For my (very young) children? EVERYTHING TERRIFIES ME.

Clown Spiders


("So . . . Was that a REAL Clown Spider?
Or just a spider dressed as a Clown Spider?")

[betts]

I love bees! I hang out with bees. I'm terrified of heights and I get this weird, electrical feeling in my knees when I even look at pictures of people standing on the edge of a cliff. I had to crawl to look over the Grand Canyon because I was afraid to stand up. But oddly, it doesn't bother me to look out the window of a building or an airplane.

Bees (and most flying insects) are of no threat unless they are near/protecting their hive.

The bees you see out flying around are virtually zero threat.

I'm allergic to bee/wasp/hornet/etc. stings. So they are potentially as dangerous to me as a poisonous snake. However, I am more wary of them than scared of them. Although, I have to admit that having a stunned wasp hit me then crawl into my helmet while riding my motorcycle at about 60mph was pretty scary . . . and the time that we did some work on a rarely used lake house, down by Lake Texhoma, that was crawling with enough various wasps to make a Stephen King movie was a bit freaky. (there were, like, thousands of them . . . really. [shudder])
