Irrational fears

We all have irrational fears, not to mention rational ones. Me? I don’t do well with snakes, but they pretty much fall into the rational variety. Anything that can sneak up on you and deliver a lethal bite is worthy of my terror.

Of the irrational sort, I am afraid of clowns. In a big way. I’m a classic Bozo-phobe. I can even trace it back to an incident when I was about two years old and was taken to see a movie in a theater for the very first time. It was a matinee, back in the day when parents would drop kids off for the afternoon, unsupervised.  Basically, it was anarchy. In between the Huey, Dewey and Louie cartoon and The Shaggy Dog, a special live appearance was made by Clarabell the clown. For those who don’t know, Clarabell was Howdy Doody’s sidekick. He didn’t speak (a particularly strange affectation embraced by some clowns) and only communicated through the honking of various horns. So this creep comes charging down the aisle, the kids go ballistic, and my brain exploded.

So it may be an irrational fear, but at least I have an excuse.

What irrational fears do you have?

  3. Mozartghost says:

    I’m a Catholic and my mom used to be a Mormon but now she’s a Catholic.

  4. bri says:

    why she change? don’t take it seriously. just curious.

  5. Mozartghost says:

    She said she thought Catholic made a lot more sense because it is the original Christian religion, and has been around for about 2000 years.
    Don’t take it seriously, but I heard some guy made Mormon up about 200 years ago.

  6. Naymeer says:

    Uh, yeah, you totally just offended me and the church. I bet someone made up the catholic religion and said it was a message from god. No.

  7. Mozartghost says:

    Um yeah…Jesus and St.Peter made up Catholic while they were still ALIVE.
    St. Peter was Jesus’s friend and the first Pope.

  8. Naymeer says:

    Uhhhhhhhhhh ok. why are some many catholics against Jesus and since when was the first pop 2000 years agon?

  9. Mozartghost says:

    CATHOLICS ARE NOT AGAINST JESUS!
    Come on!
    Jesus takes up half the Bible!
    Jesus takes up 2/3 of the Mass!
    Want more reasons?

  10. Naymeer says:

    You know what, I’m sorry if offended you, but you offended me and if people don’t stop talking about our own religions, I’m gonna leave this site, I know that probaly doesn’t mean anything to you, but it will to me. I like this website and talking to everyone on here, but if you can’t respect what I have to say, I will leave.

  16. Mozartghost says:

    Kapish.

  17. bri says:

    ok Mozartghost. i’m just going to try to explain it to you in a whole paragraph or two.
    Jesus was Christian, and old type of Jewish way back when. Peter was one of his apostles. When Jesus was tried Peter denied that he knew him three times, that’s why Catholics believe he was the first pope. but he wasn’t. he remained true to the right church. Catholics believe that where the church thing in St. Vanica in Rome is where Peter wanted to have “his” church. “Upon this rock…” build the church. he didn’t mean it literally. he meant the priesthood. the power to heal, etc. that’s why you believe he was the first pope, but he wasn’t. and no guy made it up 200 years ago. it reappeared in the 1800’s through Joseph Smith. it was around way back in 600 B.C. it disappeared some 100 years later after Jesus was crucified. Joseph Smith was born in a time where there were many churches trying to get you to join them. he went out into the woods behind his house and prayed and asked which church was true. Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father appeared to him and told him none were the true church. later on he recovered The Book of Mormon. an ancient record from the ancient americans who were Mormon. in a way. this book gave us things we never had before and the priesthood was restored. it is called The Book of Mormon because an ancient prophet named Mormon compiled it all together then his son Moroni made it a book of gold plates. we have devoloped the name Mormons because of this. The correct term is: Latter Day Saints. the church’s name is: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. want more info either way so you can make fun of us or not. contact the elders. you know, the guys in the white shirts and ties riding bikes with name tags saying Elder whatever their name is. or go to the one of our churches during Sunday. then you can learn more.

  18. Mozartghost says:

    Peter was the first pope of the Catholic Church and he appointed the next and so on.
    I’m really sorry to say this, but therefore he was not in any way Mormon and therefore that Joseph Smith guy just made Mormonism up and it originally allowed a man to have multiple wives and it tells you the end of the world is near and la di da di da…
    My Grandma is Mormon and has a closet full of end-of-the-world food….
    Now let’s shut it about religion on the Pendragon blog.

  30. Lead Traveler says:

    you two are scaring me. (Mozart and bri.)

  31. britt says:

    ok not tryin to side but bri what you said to moz was kinda rude and telling each other to shut up isnt gettin us anywhere. :/

  32. bri says:

    i said i was going to shut up if he did.

  33. bri says:

    so i wasn’t technically telling him to shut up. cause i told myself too, and was if he did. that’s not saying “SHUt up!” to his face.

    pepperoni pumkin patao pie with lemons and limes mixed with watermelon chacolate

  37. Naymeer says:

    Say what now?

  38. Comet says:

    You people get off topic SO easily

  39. Comet says:

    @bri

    Most Mormons do not have sad lives! I’m a mormon and i’m very happy

  40. bri says:

    i’m happy too, but when you look it from a non-lds person’s point of view, we have sad lives.
    @Naymeer
    at me?

  41. Naymeer says:

    Everyone at my school was just like ‘ What!? You can’t date til 16. Man that sucks.’ Then some girl asked me out and I said no and I was gonna explain, but she ,uh, called me the B word then stormed off and gossiped with her friends. Then people offer me coffe, I decline and tell them I’m mormon and they shun me.

  42. Comet says:

    @Naymeer

    i’m sorry

  43. Mozartghost says:

    A girl called a boy a B***H?!
    And why would you want to date before 16 anyway?
    I’m 15 and if a girl asked me out I’d be like…Umm…
    (someone call the insane asylum…like NOW!)
    Alright maybe just “NO” would do but still…
    You can’t get married until 18 anyway, so what’s the rush.
    Besides, most people don’t get married until their 20’s or 30’s.
    Give me a break!

  44. Mozartghost says:

    And by the way,
    WHERE DID ALL THE MORMONS COME FROM!!!???
    IS THERE A SINGLE CATHOLIC ON THIS SITE!?
    (other than me, of course…)

  45. Comet says:

    what’s wrong with mormons?

  46. Mozartghost says:

    Well….
    Let’s not start that whole thing over again.
    Did I mention my mom was a Mormon?

  47. Comet says:

    i don’t think so.
    How ’bout we end the religious conversation?
    I’ll start a new one………my irritational fears are spiders and balloons

  48. Naymeer says:

    Uh, yeah, you did mention that, oh and when comet said that most mormons got married like 20- 30, NO!!! People here get married right out of high school, and back to fears! I’m affraid of clowns, spiders, falling from a great height and the dark.
