Spiders, friggin' bastards make me shiver.


On an episode of Fear Factor where in the end they go to a family's home and give them a challenge for cashg this one was to eat spiders the size of a hand which were still alive and some were cooked, the ones cooked i think for less money. I dunno how anybody could eat them things alive, they put 'em in their mouths and their little hairy legs are wriggling around outside the mouth.............aaarrrgghhhh!

Having someone bump into me or slap me on the back while I am eating and causing me to stab the back of my throat with a fork.

I know of a guy who, as a butcher's apprentice, failed to wear a chain-mail like glove he should've when mincing beef, and had his hand go through the mincer - I cringe even as I type this.
 
I can't think of many worse things to fear happening to one's self.

That's your fear? lol no offense but It would have to be one hell of a slap/bump!! Unless you eat like an animal who hasn't eaten in days and shove the whole head of the fork in your mouth.

Well, once your a parent,  the biggest fear is something happening to your kids.  After that...
 
Yep, spiders for me as well.
 
Not a big fan of rats either. The funny thing is that I have a Boa that I have to feed rats to regularly.  After I kill them, I still can't touch them with my bare hands.  Something about those nasty little yellow teeth.  Skanky fuckers.

Used to be elevators for me, but mostly flying.
 
Actually, flying doesn't bother me
 
CRASHING, now, that bothers me.
 
It's a control thing. I've scale Mount Shasta here in Cali, repelled down the side of the Chico State dorms, rode motorcycles til I was 28, taken a hang glider to 8,000 feet, parachuted...............but I cannot trust a 25-year veteran pilot. IF I FLEW THE 747, I WOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM.
 
Nowdays, all I fear is the point spread

Rats.
 
Grew up on a horse ranch and no matter how clean everything is they are still gonna pay you a visit when you least expect it because they love horse feed and can smell it for miles.
 
Walked into the kitchen early morning and one of the hairy beady eyed monsters flew out from beneath dishwasher across the floor. He stopped, looked me straight in the eye, and scurried out the door.
 
He was the size of a small dog.

THe way the world is changing.  SOon we will be wearing a chip in our hands and all our freedoms will be taken away.   The next major terror attack that happens, if it outdoes 911, will convince everyone will accept.   Hope it never happens.

One more thing... Not being alive anymore.  Death will be an overwhelmingly hopeless feeling.  Nobody talks about it.  Why would we?  It's depressing.  But what comes after that?  I guess it's actually two more things.  Death being one and "not being alive anymore" being yet another.
 
If I had to narrow it down to one thing I guess it would be spiders. 
I hate those fucking things.

It will.  And the sheep will happily line up for the chip.
