The Staff Declare Their Fears

[Trijhak]

Well, at least this is further evidence that BZP Staff are absolutely insane.

You mean I'm the only person who has nightmares about Prokofiev? This isn't normal? Surely you can't be serious.

I am completely and utterly serious. Does that frighten you? I'm pretty sure it isn't normal to have nightmares about... whatever you have nightmares about... you may be the only person on BZP with that fear. Unless you have a clone/twin.What's so scary about those things, anyway?

[HAZMAT]

Well, at least this is further evidence that BZP Staff are absolutely insane....Are there any 'normal' staff left?

being crazy is a prerequisite to joining the staff

That explains quite a bit.Including your fears.They seem rather irrational. Particularly yours.Peanut butter sticking to the roof of your mouth is a rather irrational fear. (I confess, I did a quick google search)When can we expect BZP to return to 'Only Partly Insane' instead of 'Almost completely insane.Reaction to this entire thing in general: > > > >

When can we expect BZP to return to 'On#y Part#y #nsane' instead of 'A#most comp#ete#y insane.

You're joking, right? You actua##y expect BZPower to ever get #ess insane?Foo#ish morta#. Edited March 6, 2012 by Lambdalolllamaphobia

I am very proud to see this topic has reached almost three full pages.

Ya know, I was doing really well today until I saw this post.

Are we not drawn onward? We few, drawn onward to new era?

I thought you were supposed to be afraid of making statements like that.

It's part of therapy.I'm gonna beat this thing!

when people rally with equino*Pauses for breath*phobia's cause, possibly.

[Sisen]

Snaaaaaakes.

[WriterofReapers]

Sisen! I was wondering when you would get in on the action. Got to say, I wasn't expecting the Medusa theme. Very nice. :DPlus, I used to really dislike snakes, so I can feel your pain.

[Nukaya]

What in the dancing karzahni is going on in here? And how much do the staff fear their fears?Maybe they've got to learn to face their fears. And conquer them. Carefully. With strategy.Well, at least this is further evidence that BZP Staff are absolutely insane....Are there any 'normal' staff left?

Oh yay, somebody did claim aibohphobia! :DMom.Dad.Eye.Racecar.~|ET|~

Dangit ET!!Why would you do that?!?!

[Hahli Husky]

No no no, it's not that I have this fear. My game is pretending that I am this fear, and as such, I run around covered in ferns trying to scare the fudge out of people, except that very few people, if any, are afraid. So then I just sit in the woods, usually by some stream, pouting and trying to look pretty and not like I'm slowly taking over the forest so it's difficult for people to walk through it.

[Akuna Toa of Sonics]

Man, these are some weird sounding fears.

[JiMing]

I hate to burst to bubble but he is joking, besides the tyrant Black six made this poor brony change his name. Don't believe me read his blog.Also say hello to antidisetablishmentarism! (I wanted to tell you I'd get my revenge but my touch crashed):evilgrin:Edit:Am I the only POBZPC to change their name for this? If yes I take great pride in that fact.

You're the only one that wants to have the name for a long time.

[fishers64]

...Are there any 'normal' staff left?

There were never any to begin with. But seriously, however, I have noted that two staff members' names have remained unchanged: the names of bonesiii and McSmeag. bones is above the fray; McSmeag is the only staff member you should really fear on this forum. What all of these names/fears have in common is that they are stupendous and silly. The point of this name-changing excercise likely was to make fun of the "staff are tyrants" opinion that has been floating about. Tyrants normally inspire fear, hence the rain of silly fears.

[dotcom]

Snaaaaaakes.

Soul Eater is the best and Medusa is the best witch, so this makes you the best of the staff.And..that is all I have to add to this topic.Nake Snake Cobra Cobbra indeed.

That still makes me special! And besides, 3 months is not that long, judging from how this year has been so far, it will be over before you know it. I don't really care about the name because of that.

Nah it means that you talk just enough. Everybody else just talks TOO much.

I was talking about Equinophobia, I always knew you never liked small horses. Why do you hate small horses? I know they don't have variety but small horses are fun to watch jump (I'm talking about real life ponies here). Also antidisetablishmentarinism

[-Windrider-]

Gatanui- Germanopaidogogophobia* – Fear of German CultureWindrider- Melorussophobia* – Fear of Russian

Close - made up or not, I interpret mine as "fear of Russian music" because of the "melo" in the front.And I think Gata has stated that his is supposed to mean "fear of German mentors/teachers."

[Tenebrae Invictus]

Windrider- Melorussophobia* – Fear of Russian

I think "melo" would imply music, and the fear does seem to be about Russian composers.

antidisetablishmentarinism

antidisestablishmentarianism*
