Clowns give me the creeps, but its all just my imagination. Zombies, on the other hand, are a real problem here in Chicago, since on Halloween the dead walk the Earth and on the following Tuesday they vote.

Can you imagine how much their fear will exponentially mount when they find out I barely attended classes, and had to pay off the Dean for my “Diploma” on teh wall?

I am deathly afraid of being gang-raped by supermodels. I need some desensitization therapy to get over it.

I'm sending them right over to pay you a visit:

Fear of public speaking didn't make the list.

As far as the validity of the list, there really isn't much on that list to be frightened OF - other than “other people”. The rest are actual phobias,or irrational fears. Fear of other people is quite rational as they are the ones who like to rape rob and murder.

The Dentist (1996)

Honestly, one of the most anti-dentist movies ever.

Zombies are a real problem.

But they inspire real solutions.

"Pelosi.
Sans nightgown."

Oh, my gosh - I cannot even comprehend - what in the world would make you think of something like that?
Is there no end to the depths of your vile imagination?

That was taken only a few miles from where I lived at the time. And now you know where I get my fear of clowns from.
