Jun. 22nd, 2007 12:22 pmI'm so glad I'm not the only one who fesses up to a complete terror of amusement park rides, though I don't do so nearly as hilariously as Kungfu Monkey:
Oh, how they mocked. But my momentary cowardice still allowed me to retain a shred of dignity, and so was worth indulging. Because if I'd gotten on that ride, my friends would have actually heard me scream. Like a little girl. Like a little girl who just woke up because somebody licked her foot. Like a little girl who just woke up because somebody licked her foot, and then when she turns on the light there's an evil clown sitting in the middle of her bedroom, eating her pony.
There's no comebacks from the clown-pony scream. ( Rest of the brilliance behind the cut, warning, don't drink anything while reading or you may ruin a perfectly good keyboard/monitor: )
He then reads about an amusement park accident that caused a girl to lose her feet and writes:
-- I need to inform you that blogging may be slow for a bit, as I will be under my bed, in a fetal position. For a while.
The queasiness of my irrational fear's sudden gripping return is leavened somewhat by the "ah-ha" of "I KNEW it", but it's a hollow moment. A bit like your irrational fear of zombies being validated by the appearance of actual zombies at your window.
I have a very similar reaction every time a plane crashes, sadly.
On a happier note, you must also check out his fangasm on this week's Doctor Who, "Utopia", 'cause it's a lot of fun. Spoilers for the eps in comments, though.
