I loathe carnival rides and rollercoasters. It isn't the heights. I can do heights. It isn't the speed. I can do speed. But, something about them...stone terrified.
Close talkers! The key is to back up with a slight rotation so you don't back into a wall. Then you just lead them in circles.
True story, when I worked at Intel my brother and I were in a meeting with one of the supers. My brother was in violation of the personal space rules and Kevin help up a hand and handed him something. That something is now revealed in what he said.
"Stop. Take two steps back and eat this."
It was a Chiclet.
We still laugh at that one. It was glorious.
When I look at the guys and gals that run the carnival rides and realize they are the same people that put them together I get very afraid. Took the kids to a Christmas fair one year and the operator of the ferris wheel was nodding off and not for lack of sleep. We didn't go on that ride.

Even more importantly, mosasaurs.I'm a very good swimmer too, if I take off my swimming google for some reason in the sea I start freking out instantly. I feel like I'm surrounded by sharks and giant jellyfish.
There was one time I screamed thinking I have a jellyfish attached to my chin. It was my beard.
I had to swim butterfly style to make up for the emberrasment, got really tired and barely made it out of the water. Not my best moments in the sea.
I knew a mosasaur in the CIA who had a stutter. Cost anyone who noticed their lives, damn it.

"Science" and the "fossil record" would have you believe we've been safe from these sea beasts for "65 million years," but no ivory tower is strong enough to save you when you're caught by those crushing jaws.
If that thing swam up on me ... lets just say I hope it likes the taste of crap.
Then you may not be crazy about a project I am working on. We are working up songs that can be connected to Halloween. From Adams Family Them to Hells Bells.
