I am also afraid, very afraid of the DMV! That 2 hour line with all those stinky, dirty people is like a horror movie (and I ain;t talking about the customers, but the people who work behind the counter). I have deep fear of some of the comb-over haircuts these people wear...and I am worried that I too may one day look like that!

D dangergirl299 Grand Member (1 year) Bay Area Joined: Feb 18, 2003 Posts: 893	D dangergirl299 Posted posted on Fri, Jul 30, 2004 12:07 PM I have a substantiated fear of people who think that Thomas Kincaide is "a great artist." My UNsubstantiated (irrational) fear is of uncurtained windows at night - something being able to see or "get" me. I have frequent nightmares about this; where I"m only safe if I can find a hidden corner where I can't be seen from outside through the windows. Oddly, I've never been stalked nor have ever illegally grown any illegal substances at home - so I have no idea where this fear comes from.
T thejab Grand Member (1 year) Tradewinds Apartments, Alameda, CA Joined: Mar 25, 2002 Posts: 2992	T thejab Posted posted on Fri, Jul 30, 2004 12:33 PM Is anyone watching "Penn and Teller's Bullshit!" on Showtime? In the show they debunk popular beliefs and myths using science and expert testimony. In a recent show they covered irrational fears. I think the most outlandish fear they covered was "mad cow" disease. In a nutshell, there have only been a handful of cases worldwide in the last 30 years of the strain that affects humans, and not a shred of evidence that any of the victims got it from eating beef from cattle that had "mad cow". Even if you were to obtain beef from a diseased animal (which is extremely unlikely) you can't get the disease from eating it. Other shows covered new-age cults (a hilarious episode), beauty treatments, recycling, love, animal rights, and the drug war.

Horror Vacui is one of my favourite terms, literally meaning "fear of vacuum", or fear of empty space. It is used for artists that are obsessed with covering every inch of canvas (or a space) with detail (or Tikis!). Basically, good Tiki bars are fine examples of Horror Vacui.

And that it will crunch. They are big, airborn, and crunchy 'round these parts. Poisonous spiders? No prob. Venomous vipers? Cool. Cockroach? I am outta there. Oh, and it is BULLSHT that there is a difference between roaches and "palmetto bugs" or "waterbugs."
