When Tommy turned around they said "Hey look! Ol' Yellow's leaving. But you could've heard a pin dropped when Tommy stopped and locked the door.

Z (I had to cheat to find this one, obviously)

"Link, he come to town
Come to save the princess Zelda
Ganon took her away
Now the children don't play
But they will when Link saves the day
Hallelujah!"

okay new game.

post a list of your childhood fears, try and alphabetize them even if there's just a few.

A

Arson
I heard about it on the news, and was afraid it woudl happen to my house. It did happen to the park behind us.





- Mere "every time I watched the evening news as a kid, I ended up with a new phobia" 1975

P.S.
Should I have listed all of them? Can we just do the alphabet again, listing kid fears by letter?

P.P.S.
What would you give for your kid fears?

[Doomius]

Bees!
As in the killer kind. I remember the news reports of them getting closer to Texas.

[ifihadahifi]

Communists

Because at any moment they were going to parachute into my school parking lot and spray the student body with machine gun fire.

[ChrisLovesYou]

Dykes.

I used to have an irrational fear/hatred of anyone that didn't want to have sex with me. I think I'm over it now.

EDIT: This is not really a childhood fear. I ruined the game?

[mere1975]

Earwigs

Because of that scene in The Wrath of fucking Khan.

- Mere "" 1975

Earwigs

Aw crap! Thanks for brining that one back!

[ree-ree]

F...Fire. As in our house caught on fire when I was in 7th grade. To this day the smell of a burning building can freak me out.
Our nighbor's house burnt down a few years ago. Very tense as it started to spread.

It's different than arson, since anything can set your house on fire and burn up everything you own. (the 4th of July makes me nuts cuz the idiots across the street are always aiming their fireworks this way.)

Edit: I do want to say that I love a good fire and love fire pits, fireplaces(even though that's how our house caught on fire), and bonfires.


G...

[Rebecca]

Gremlins.

I don't know why, but those things still give me the creeps. When I was a kid, I would always check behind the shower curtain for gremlins or other scary things. I don't like Furbies either, because they somewhat resemble gremlins.

P.S. ree-ree, my family lost everything in a house fire when I was in kindergarten, and I still have very vivid memories of the entire ordeal. A structure fire produces a very distinct smell, and it still makes me queasy.

[ifihadahifi]

Hell.

Thanks to my fundamental baptist education, I was warned about eternal damnation every day from age 8 to 16.

[aquaphase]

Ignoramuses

Do I really need to say why?

[Rebecca]

Jellyfish.

The nasty things that sting you, not the band. Why do jellyfish exist anyway?
