I give myself the creeps, but I also like and understand and enjoy myself, so that's a paradox.

In the 90's I often grocery shopped in the middle of the night, like 2-4 am, at a nearby Albertson's. They had free coffee. There was a fat Anglo checker there who was very strange. Overly-familiar, to say the least. Me and my ex-wife called her "Fat 'n Sassy", because she was.

She was too much. Too much "Hi", too much asking about what I was buying, just pressing really hard all the time, and telling me all about her private life. I'd buy frozen pizza, and she'd quiz me about it, etc. And in the middle of the night.

One time I drove up in the parking lot and started walking in, and I saw her sitting on the sidewalk off to the side of the store, and I saw a little fire in front of her, and I swear to God I could smell sulfur as I walked up to enter the store. I really think she was a Wiccan, one of those modern witches.

I kinda felt bad for her, but I was also very wary of her. And then they closed that Albertson's and I never saw her again.

lol! Why do you give yourself the creeps?

Joe the plumber kind of gives me the creeps

Because I like and understand myself. I am not without a conscience, but it's rather weak. I was never properly socialized, despite my middle class upbringing.

I think of human society as a dog pack or dog team, and I am a feral hog or an awkward moose. But I have redeeming qualities.

your conscience is weak? Can you give an example? Are your siblings weak too? I prefer to think of you as an awkward moose rather than a hog, if that's okay.

I have 1 brother. His conscience? Fair to standard.

Example of my weak conscience? OK, I often do the right thing solely to avoid unnecessary complications. If there are no consequences to my actions, I'm just as likely to do the wrong thing. I'm just too detached, you might say.

I'm revealing too much!

just trying to figure out if it was your upbringing or if this is something peculiar to you.

lol. the way you worded this makes me think of George Costanza.

nonsense. you are revealing the proper amount your secrets are safe with us!

Costanza is my favorite Seinfeld character. He's one of my favorite characters ever, too.

not really sure what to make of this. But i feel optimistic for your future, too.

This seems like another "big-poster" thread but, I'm going to comment anyways....

The three people that give me the creeps are......

1.- Ellen Degeneres

2.- Tim Curry

and lastly....

3.- The Emergency Broadcast System and the guy who talks on it. I always panic thinking about nuclear holocaust. I fear that one day he is going to speak about how something was destroyed.

I blame this partially on World History my sophmore year of High School and mostly on my father for, taking me to see Terminator when I was a young child.

In H.S. when they would run the audio of the guy announcing what Truman ordered on Hiroshima, I was devistated. I now panic everytime the Emergency Broadcast System "pops out of nowhere" on t.v.

That's about it.

Awesome choice, the great crypto-fascist himself.

Creepy comes in many guises.


My list: John Waters

Al Goldstein

HIllary Clinton

John Waters is definitely a good one. He's really talented but more than a little weird. I'm not sure I would trust him to not microwave my baby.

Gore Vidal creeps me out way more than WFB did. I was always fascinated by Buckley's dandruff, like he flaunted it or something.

Joe Jackson

I'm not sure Chris Elliott counts, because he pretty much always plays a nut.

Dude looks like the penguin from that Batman movie...

Let that be a lesson to the rest of you ...

The old-school tests with the CD logo were definitely creepy, especially for me as a kid growing up in the 70s and early 80s.

The newer ones aren't nearly as bad IMO. Fancy scrolling text.

Watching the old stuff on youtube is not pleasant.

I remember the head between legs/kiss ass goodbye drills in grade school ca 1959-60. Crazy **** going on there. Two miles from my house was an ABM Nike site.

Chris Hansen. Obvs getting up to stuff behind the scenes. He's covering his trail so much, but it still shows.

Re: Joe Jackson

I dont know the whole story/allegations but I would think that if all of your kids are rich, and some of them are filthy rich, you must have done something right as a parent.

If he is a "bad" parent, we need more "bad" parents in America.

lol, all the jacksons (except michael + janet) are far from rich. It's why they were always after michael to reunite the jackson 5. and who knows with mj's finances.

Lay off Chris you f**king bastard!
