What! Brie cheese. you’re insane, but I may have already guessed that one…

Hmm… something that comes in a semi-rubbery shell with a creamy, smelly inside. To me, that sounds like a recipe for disaster.

Any offspring of Donald is plain scary, though I liked him in the first season of 24. Then you combine 3 & 11 and you’ve got me - a spider that you can hear walk across your carpet. It’s real. I’ve seen it. Be afraid.

Keifer Sutherland? Really? Hmm. Interesting. I’ll have to look a little closer to see
what’s so scary.

1. Facebook
2. The possibility of Facebook stalking.
3. Having friends of mine deny me on Facebook.
4. All the while, I have to admit - I don’t have Facebook. Scary huh?
I tend to be fairly fearless, in general. I get afraid of crossing national borders, and policemen yelling.

Wasn’t 14 already included in 3? And I see you didn’t mention butterflies…
October 31st, 2007 at 5:20 pm
Well, I can only mention so many things in a list of twenty. I didn’t even get to Ron Jeremy or “spicy” sushi.
October 31st, 2007 at 8:20 pm
Yeah, I was with you except for the brie. That’s just nuts.

I have to agree with comment 1 on the Brie cheese…oh, Brie with homemade cranberry chutney…mmmmmMM!

Oh no! I love Kiefer. Although he shouldn’t drink and drive :( I tell you, if I ever get lost, I’m gonna ask that Jack Bauer come and find me.
November 1st, 2007 at 2:52 pm
i must ask Kiefer Sutherland in general or Kiefer Sutherland as Jack Bauer? or Kiefer Sutherland in Flatliners.
November 1st, 2007 at 2:56 pm
Kiefer in LOST BOYS. AAAAA!
November 2nd, 2007 at 10:52 am

Until recently, my brother lived in a small town in Brie. When he remarried a few years ago, I went over there. I recall standing in the mayor’s office while he read a proclamation, presumably having something to do with his authority, when I noticed through a window that there were cows in the pasture outside. I thought to myself, “those are very important cows: they make Brie.” They didn’t look scary at all.
(By the way, they may all be called Brie, but they’re different in every town. And, in light of comment #2, I bet you’re really frightened by Camembert. Or Morbier! Yeah, Morbier: that’ll finish you for sure. Vive la France!)
But otherwise, your list is just brimming with things that are wrong, several of which should be hunted for sport and killed.
