I thought I knew scary

Because I:

1. I decorate for Halloween.


2. Been in a graveyard in the middle of nowhere at midnight


3. Sat through a lecture on "orbs" in photographs*


4. Been to Greyfriar's Kirkyard to visit Mackenzie's tomb several times - considered by some to be the most haunted place in the world. (I didn't see/feel anything poltergeisty.)


5. Read HP Lovecraft every chance I get


6. Clive Barker is my favorite author


7. Watched many scary movies**


8. Visited many (alleged) haunted places


9. Watched a lot of horror films***


10. I went to Catholic school


11. Taken many "ghost tours" in the UK


12. I watched the first season of LOST****


13. Walked from the train station to The Mean Fiddler to see Fish outside of London, which I happen to find not even the locals will do, very dodgy neighborhood.


14. Lived in Hemet, California*****


15. Went to Paris without speaking French

But this, my friends, is the scariest thing I have ever seen.

John Tesh with that hair, there is nothing more horrifying

just imagine that picture with horns on his head and flames in the background, yeah, I won't be able to sleep tonight either

* Ghosts, really, you think those are ghosts? Please, in the Northwest we call that rain on the camera lens.

** Blair Witch Project was ghastly (at least the 20 minutes I made it through before I made the wise decision to shut it off).

*** Okay, The Exorcist is not near as scary as I remember from my childhood.

****Only scary in the fact that I will never get that weekend of my life back! This comic explains my feelings perfectly. (should have learned from my Blair Witch experience.)

***** Middle of nowhere, hotter than Hades, ugly, and full of bitter retirees (because they cannot afford to live in Palm Springs with the posh people)
