Suspiria! that trailer scared the crap of out me when i was a younger one.DVNT said:
have you ever seen _Session Nine_ or heard the soundtrack by Climax Golden Twins_? excellent stuff.
No...the chickens in Mexico did not bother me...but the fish...scared the livin daylights outta me...they were HUGE...they were called Jacks or some sort of Jacks...and they swam in HUGE schools...and they would dart around me and get really close...I was absolutely terrified. I wanted a boat to come and get me there were THAT many...on my trip to Cabo the guys on the boat thought it would be funny to throw tortillas in the water around me so the fish would gather around me and act like savages that had never eaten...I like to look at the fish...but I don't like being near them.SkaredShtles said:Ok.

When I went snorkleing in Hawaii it took a bit for me to get used to it, but as long as they kept their distance I was ok. The puffer fish though...I swera to this day they were gunning for me every time I saw one!dh girlie said:
My fear of fresh water fish in particular is odd though because I'll still go swimming in lakes. But if you get me into an aquarium I make sure to keep a good distance back from the fresh water fish tanks (the salt water tanks, no problem
). I know it's a very very odd and irrational fear, but as a kid my brother and cousin used to tease me to know end and one of the things they used to tell me is that the fist would come bite my toes when we were swimming. My mother told me they were lying and that fish didn't have teeth.....WRONG.....we were fishing and my brother pulled in a Northern Pike and I nearly hyperventalated when I saw the teeth on the damn thing. And fresh water fish are just UGLY...they always look like they're pissed off and ready to take it out on you.....so, I just keep my distance and let them be! 
Fresh water fish get HUGE and they are ugly...I was at the marina at this lake and there were GINORMOUS catfish and carp at the dock and I was thinking that there was no way I was going to wake board again in that lake that weekend...I was feeding em crackers and this one that was the size of a great white came from the depths and nearly took my arm off...eesh!Velocity Girl said:When I went snorkleing in Hawaii it took a bit for me to get used to it, but as long as they kept their distance I was ok.

They were BIG...they lived near the docks by the snack bar and have been fed french fries and corn dogs for years...they were like HUGE! I don't want a little fish touching me let alone some big huge ugly carp!

yeah, it's not the best movie but definitely worth seeing. the building where they filmed it (danvers state mental hospital) is a couple towns over from where i live. it's a creepy place.ROCKLAND said:

I'm the guy that started the food fight in 7th grade that eventually spread to the entire cafeteria. On spaghetti day.
I once taped a model rocket engine to a turtle and fired it.
Didn't get in trouble for that but yeah I got caught shoplifting a candy bar too (and yes of course I had the money in my pocket).
I used to listen to a lot of Rush.
I like road bikes and even wear lycra when I ride 'em.
I'm a good cook, and I like jazz.
And long walks on the beach.

I suffer from poophobia; and although variable, my wiener makes up only a very small fraction of my total body weight.
One very little known fact about me is...and I don't even think my wonderful fiancee knows this yet...I can be self depricating at times.
Oh, and I'm not a very good speller and rarely punctuate correctly.

One of my majors is geography. I have no sense of direction and get lost all the time. Once I was driving from Lake George, NY to the Georgian Bay (north of Toronto). I messed up and by the time I realized it, I was pretty darn close to Detroit.
I'm thinking about taking up noodling.

People are constantly amazed that, not only am I educated, but that I have a doctorate in analytical chemistry. That and I can play Battle Hymn of the Republic on my teeth.

When I take a piss, I also pick my nose with my free hand for something to do. And I use my thumb.
I'm vegan. love music and hifi. I have a turntable that cost what some bikes cost. i grew up in a very small hick town. i have more then one hundred direct cousins (catholics). I am very much against all forms of organized religion.
