I Don't Like Spiders & Snakes!


Does anyone remember that song?  Jim Stafford sang it (thanks Faytal).  For the record, I'm not afraid of either...just thought it was a catchy title.

Friends, what animate and/or inanimate object(s) are you afraid of?

My nephew, Adrian, is deathly afraid of clowns & has never even seen Stephen King's It.  I think It would send that child over the edge.

My nephew, Darnell, as a young kid, was afraid of the intro music to Tales from the Crypt.  On the 1st note, that boy hauled ass!  It was hilarious! 

Playcuzzin has/had a fear of ashes. Image  Maybe he really has a fear of cremation & just doesn't realize it. Image In his defense, he ain't wrapped too tight at times, so I'm really not surprised. 

I watch a lot of Discovery Channel, so alot of marine life scares me.  I love the beach & the ocean, but I will not go into water that is not clear.  

Case in point - I went into the Gulf of Mexico at South Padre Island a few years ago & the water was murky, but I toughed it out....until seaweed floated across my thighs!  I just knew it was a damn jellyfish.  Needless to say, I got the hell outta the Gulf....after I fell forward & ended up with a mouth full of salt water.

By the way, that's a Black Widow Spider above.  Isn't she lovely?

  1. TNP hates Mice and Rats, and yeah I scream and jump at bugs. Yeah I said it!! But big bugs. Not small ones. Everytime one of those monster roaches enter my apartment first I yell in fear, then I grab the raid and start screaming like some Zulu Warrior Princess trying to kill the thing.

    I don't like spiders, but will stomp one. I'm still afraid of big dogs, but can deal with small dogs.

  2. I have a black widow tattoo on my left shoulder. Ask Darryl what happens when ANYTHING moving in my house enters my field of visions (cut to view of Silky as a shrieking mess)

  3. Yeah I feel TNP on the mice and rats thing. But I'm not afraid of other rodents like squirrels or hamsters. I would be afraid of black widows and tarantulas, but I would play with a daddy long legs. I hope I never see a monster roach. I'd probably run from it. I'm not afraid of pet snakes, but don't let me see one in the wild. I am also afraid of ferocious dogs especially pit bulls. I'm highly afraid of being suffocated. Nothing can touch my nose.

  6. There was a link in my blog with a similar list (the word phobias in the beginning)...some of that shit is absolutely insane. People afraid of peanut butter is WILD.
