Samhainophobia = Fear of Halloween

Used to be the Bogeyman, but I'm over it now.
 
Halloween is supposed to be scary. What a bunch of dumbfuckery.
 
Hardly. I am commenting on how absolutely stupid this phobia is.

Oh there are way stupider ones, believe me.:D
Thanks for the morning laugh (dumbfuckery)

I don't have any phobia's so it's kind of hard to understand just how they mess with people so badly.
 
I have two big ones... heights and rodents!! (Mice and rats squirrels are ok) lol
 
somebody just discovered The Trailer Park Boys and decided he's Jim Lahey .He'll be reciting Leshitivis next
 
Heights, I can't stand ladders!

No problem going to 18,000 feet in a helicopter though.
 
I'm the opposite, ladders don't bother me but you won't get me in a copter, if there is trouble they don't glide worth a dam.

Yessir, the glide slope is rather similar to a bowling ball!I

But, you need less area to land.
 
speaking of gliders, i was at a WWII museum in the Netherlands a while ago, they had some gliders on display
some time after D day, the allied forces launched an invasion where they would "tow" these gliders from England to the Netherlands, then cut the ropes when they came close to the landing site and let them just sail on down

now, that takes some testicular fortitude right there

 

Autorotation, it ain't pretty but it'll get you down. Saw it used twice in Vietnam.


The maneuver is essentially a trade-off of altitude for rotor speed (Nr). At the bottom you bring up the nose and actually wind up with 0 kias and 0 sink rate as the wheels touch the deck. If you do it right. Just keep the ball centered or you WILL imitate a bowling ball!

Not too bad in a light aircraft. Tough in loaded transport!

sometimes those gliders broke in half on landing, and the men demanded "wings" on their uniforms for getting towed in them.
 
What scares me? Big waves out at sea. I used to go up to the O-8 deck (top of the island) of our LHA (Helo carrier) and watch the waves crest over the bow of our ship and that bow was 5 stories tall..give me a foxhole any day.
