This is a question Phobias

What gives you the heebie-jeebies?

It's a bit strong to call this a phobia, but for me it's the thought of biting into a dry flannel. I've no idea why I'd ever want to or even get the opportunity to do so, seeing as I don't own one, but it makes my teeth hurt to think about it. *ewww*

Tell us what innocent things make you go pale, wobbly and send shivers down your spine.

Cake or Death?
Death, please.

Sometimes, I look at cake.

It shines under the lights of the displays at the cake shop, the sweet chocolate coating glistens invitingly and my mouth begins to water.

I think longingly of the chocolate and cream swirls running through the tempting confection, and stare with something approaching lust at the delicate chocolate and sugar decoration that adorn the top.

I reach out, desperate to have this wonderous cake for my own.

But I stop. My hand begins to tremble. My forehead takes on a light sheen and my mouth, previously watering, takes on that slightly acidic taste that announces Uncle Vomit is coming to stay, and he's in a pretty big hurry.

You see, it is not cake that I'm scared of. I do, in fact, have an actual pathalogical fear of having cake in my mouth. Just the thought of the spongey texture coating my tongue and sticking to my teeth is enough to send me in to waves of pure disgust.

I am strange, I have grown tro accept this.

the cake is fine -
it's the icing I can't stand.

Uncle Vomit is one of those bad uncles your parents warn you about. Avoid him! Avoid him at all costs!

Just as an aside...
I currently have a word right on the tip of my tongue (fnaar!) and perhaps someone can tell me what it is....It's a bit like acolyte, but it means someone who is imprisoned, a sex slave (I think) and the word catacomb comes to mind too - although I realise that's not the right word.

chocolate is lovely when it's just chocolate, nice solid chocolate. It is unlovely when in sugary bars containing things like *shudder* biscuit. Chocolate biscuits, however, are perfectly acceptable and are to be encouraged.

But you'd have to zip him up so as not to hear his bloody voice
But I bet George does wonderful things with his tongue - he always talks as if his tongue is far too big for his mouth.

And I'm sure Freddie, or is it Rod? The one with the beard (who scarily looks a little like our very own TRL) is 'adventurous', probably with Rod, or Freddie.

While Jane watches as George licks her slowly and Bungle lays a Bungle finger on Zippy's zipped up mouth.

I saw Roy Skelton on a programme once, 100 greatest kids programmes (part of the ‘we’ve got a four hour hole in our schedule, how the fuck are we gonna fill it’ season on channel 4 a few years back). They were asking him if he recorded the voices for Zippy and George separately, and he said no – and proceeded to act out an argument between said characters, flitting effortlessly between the two.

Surreal.
