Long before "Chucky" even thought about becoming a star, people have been disturbed and "creeped out" by dolls. I don't know what it is, but I just realized that dolls have always given me the willies too. My Mother dearly loves them, the ones with the frozen-stiff cold eyes staring off into space with the eyelids that open and close... eeek! They always seem to be watching, and they seem to give me a strange feeling... Maybe i've seen one too many horror movies, but I add this to the list of things that strike me down with the heebie-jeebies!
Come to think of it, there are a few extra creepy things that have been brought to my attention this week. For one, Dwarves and the like (as Barnze points out) are among my list, & so are:
Mimes (that goes along with the clowns somewhat)
The Burger King guy (Waking up with the King? Don't think so)
Trolls (treasure trolls, etc)
Stuffed animals (to include taxidermy)
Abandoned Old Hospitals or Asylums
Dark Basements of very old houses
Open closet doors (at night, can't sleep with the closet door open)
People speaking through those 'voice boxes' (sorry, I know they had surgery, but the sound still gives me the shivers)
Extremely Old People (I'm talking 90+ ones that aged very badly, and I know if i'm lucky, I might be this old one day, but still, and if they have a voice box we're goin down!)
So that's the list of what creeps me out, and I can't think of any others at the moment-i'll be sure to report them if I do. Let me know what creeps you out too. After all it's nearing Halloween/Samhain, and I enjoy the whole month of October, so 'tis the season! God I love Fall...(sigh) So until next time, take a look at these photos below and tell me in all honesty that they're not creepy MOFOs! And if you've never seen this commercial, view it. You'll see what I mean about this Burger King. Who's the guy that thought this was cool?? He wins an award for Creepiest MOFO:
I have run across a lot of people that are creeped out by that Burger King freak. Yes, I forgot to mention the Ventriloquist dummies, but they go in the 'creepy dolls' category-Can't stand them!!

i am with you on all of the above. and dogs in clothes. and the twins that used to come into my last place of work. in their sixties, female and ALWAYS dressed the same. their hair, their glasses, their shoes....
I have always loved Far Side cartoons... this one about Potato Salad going bad was one of my favorites. Just the mental image of spoiled food pulling a gun gives me a giggle. Larson rules. However, bad food in the fridge is sometimes no laughing matter. I recently let some broccoli sprouts go beggin' and they tried to take the entire household hostage, guests and all. Funny thing about broccoli sprouts, they are against guns and drugs, and totally for Animal Rights but they carry tazers. It's really confusing, and a lesson hard learned. :) So anyway, yeah another make up post I did for yesterday. So sue me... not that it makes a big impact. We've had internet connection problems, which are still ongoing. The technician arrived in decent time and said our equipment was o.k., and that there had been an issue going on in our area, here and there... they were working on it. Maybe it will be resolved soon. I sure hope so, it's just agitating and it goes down at the worst tim...
Yes, I think I will just claim 15 again, and stay there. Looking back, my teen years were worry free. I mean, there was the bi-weekly broken heart and all, but geez. It was a time when people said, "You've got your whole life ahead of you." and it was still true... wait, well it's still true, just now there is less of it ahead of me. That's all. No, I actually didn't get a cake, or any kind of party... Didn't really care. Basically, I just took off two extra days and treated myself to a 4 day weekend in honor of my birthday. Today, June 22nd is the actual date. However, my honorary "celebration" of it began when I got off work Friday night. We met up with some friends at the Midtown Sekisui, and then came home to watch a few more episodes of "Weeds", a tv series that many of you are probably familiar with, one that my 'ol' man' got me hooked on. Finally we have finished the series thanks to Netflix Streaming , and can await...
For those of us who are a slave to the grind, we've almost made it through another work week, that's a great blessing! For those of you who don't have to report to anyone for your paycheck, well it's another beautiful day, so enjoy! Richie went back to work today after Monday's oral surgery, still felt a bit loopy he said but all-in-all it has been a swift recovery. I'm glad... I did the best I could to take care of him. So the weekend is in sight, and I'm trying to think of fun things to do. It's so hot weather-wise, and I don't mean to complain but I hate feeling sweaty and smelly. I like being pleasantly fragrant and sassy. Nothing much to report otherwise, so I will let you go with a few cute graphics about the heat, one of which I stole from BBC's blog again (he always has the funniest cartoons). So there you go. Happy Thursday. v
