Bees and Other Multi-Legged Vermin

[Manco]

I doubt the severity of STM's condition goes that far, though.

I have kompounophobia I don't like to write the word of what it is I have a phobia of but if you type that in you'll get it. I can't breath when I say it it's that bad. =(

what part of this says "it's not that bad though"

[moxco]

STM, as a christian have you also got Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia? It's a stupid question I know, but how could I resist posting such a big word?

[STM]

Yes, it absolutely terrifies me, if the volume of something on the TV or my speakers are on 666...I have to turn them down one! That's how bad it is.

Also maybe we need a mod split here?

@Dixy - I think you just need to realise that different phobia's are of different things are all. It's not very nice to tell what a phobia is after explaining you don't want to because people don't understand and then two posts down realise some dick head as gone and been stupid, doing exactly the sort of thing that makes people not want to tell other people their phobias. >=( We'll talk about this next time I'm in your dungeon.

Here's something you and Dixanadu can share: A fear of drowning in a sea of buttons.

I have a fear of drowning in a sea of 666 spiders with buttons for eyes.

ON THE TOPIC OF BUGS,
Goddamit it sent out the message with that first line. Anyways, I hate any blood sucking bugs, like mosquitoes, bedbugs, and ticks. Ticks freak me the hell out, man.

I also heard from somewhere that there was this type of bloodsucking moth in Africa or South America. That doesn't bother me. Moths are cute. They're all fuzzy!

Afterthought, didn't someone post a picture of a tear-drinking moth too? In another thread maybe? That was sort of odd. Imagine waking up to that.

Wasn't this discussion split off from the pet discussion? Any thread about phobias is doomed to be derailed.

Any thread on OWF is doomed to be derailed.

Fix'd.

Oh yeah... because Scrabtrapman went on about his bees, right? I don't think I'd like to keep bees. I suppose I wouldn't mind getting another rat at some point, but it's just so damn sad when they die. I can't imagine what it's like when a dog you've owned for ten or fifteen years dies.

Axolotls can live for twenty-five years, but they're hardly interactive pets so I'm not sure how attached to them you can get. They get pretty attached to you, though, if you put your finger in front of their mouth.

[moxco]

Stop being ironic. Go talk about pets in the pet thread.

Rats get terrible tumours all the time, it's not worth getting them just see them go through that.

Creepy.
I was reading about ants, and I found these ones called Turtle Ants. The soldiers have big flat heads that they use to block the entrances into the nest. I thought they were cool.

They would get the tumours whoever kept them, and none of the three I've had ever got any.

[STM]

Oh fair enough, I thought you were deciding to get your first one. Unfortunately of the three rats I had only one lived out a happy healthy life.
