Since it's something else entirely being called a bullfrog. Hint: I'm in Florida, i.e. a swamp. What common-ish reptile can get larger than a small river boat?

To be a bit more explicit,
This is why you don't get drunk and take your six year old out gator gigging at three AM.

List of things that a seemingly large amount of people fear that I don't:
1. Sober Gamzee. I ain't afraid of clowns. I WANT TO SEE THEM ALL BURNNNNNN!  :D That'll be fun...
2. Needles. They hurt, but they aren't too unpleasant.

That MIGHT be all I can come up with

As I mentioned before, they don't if you do it right (i.e., have years of medical experience). My dentist uses a technique where he shakes the area around the injection site to "block" the pain signals coming from the afflicted nerve while releasing the novacane (or whatever it is they use now) during the entirety of the injection instead of just when it's fully in. There might be more to it than that, I'm not sure, but I do know I never feel a thing.

Ever had a bad Star Trek experience?
Everyone who's seen the episode "Spock's Brain" has.

That's one of my favorites.

The only real phobia there (due to irrationallity) is the teleportation one.
to be fair, it'd wipe out your brain functions and reconstruct them, rendering you dead.
So what about defibs?

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

As somebody out of the loop, how many times could such a debate come up? I mean, really?

If they ever make real teleporters that work like that I'm just going to turn off the "destroy original" feature and make a bunch of carbon copies of myself to annoy people with constant inquiries as to whom is the real MSH now.

It also had its own thread.

Also that would be the perfect serial killer's tool. What do you mean they never showed up on the other end...

Ehh... I doubt it. You can't mutilate a corpse that has just simply disappeared, so where's the fun in that?


On-topic: I hate crowds/people. As much as I can justify the fear to myself, (as being everyone else's fault for annoying me, or pretending its a fear of cars instead) I am pretty sure I'm agoraphobic. I mean, I was supposed to get that checked, but the idea of walking down to the psychologist's office and attending my appointment was too much. :P
Other than that, uhh... Um. I used to have a whole heap of completely irrational fears and paranoias. None really spring to mind, now. Huh. That's probably good!

I have this weird fear of passing directly above my head, like if someone is throwing me over their shoulder, I get this feeling similar to falling, but much worse. I also can't roll directly forwards due to this (I can roll over my shoulder but not over my head).

About not being able to swim: My body (muscular and skeletal systems) is extremely dense. I can hold a 45+ second metal scream (I grew up with Judas Priest, ffs), but I can't float.

I'm on LFMF, and I just read one that says don't watch "Creepy Cave Johnson". What is it about, and will it be my first fear of the day?

Creepy Cave Johnson can't carve children currently. Capiche?

EDIT: But really, I have no idea. Have at it, I suppose.
