vampirefever, I was forced to confront one of my fears button-eyes and plushy faced this morning: fear of stuffed animals.
Then I began to wonder if there was an actual phobia assigned to my fear (well, it's primarily of stuffed animals dressed up like people - your garden variety teddy bear won't make me soil myself or anything, but you show me a Paddington Bear in that little yellow slicker and we're talking heebie jeebies...)
I checked out the list of phobias and found out that there isn't a fancy Greek term for my fear - so I made one up: agriplushiphobia.
There are, however, three different phobias dealing with fear of an erect penis:
Ithyphallophobia- Fear of seeing, thinking about or having an erect penis.
Medorthophobia- Fear of an erect penis.
Phallophobia- Fear of a penis, esp erect.
Bwaaaa???
And this one's just funny:
Lutraphobia- Fear of otters.
Happy St. Patrick's Day - now, stop pinching me, Stoney! Or do it harder.

DOnald, you are the falcon, and I will be....

I actually have fairly large and visible veins. You can totally see them in my wrists and, heh, even my hands. Yet when I needed intravenous anti-biotics a few years ago I got the one nurse who couldn't find a goddamn vein! She poked me like 4 times with the bloody needle before finally passing it off to the other nurse. But that wasn't the source...that was like someone up there going, "afraid of needles, eh? *evil laugh*"
