I'm not going to lie- MARS Volta scare me a little (A LOT). The hair, the insanity, the strong taste of megalomania that is not my own, the everything. Its like-if Wagner had a rock band, it would be them.
Having said that-rumor has it that they kick major live ass and we have a pair of tickets to give away to their SONAR show this Sunday.
To enter to win, just leave us a comment telling me what scares you the most in this world, and we will let the winner know by close-of-business Friday.
COOL?

God loves a cheerful giver.
Japanese ninja robots.
The clown doll in the attic in the "Are You Afraid of the Dark?" intro. I had to look away from the TV during every Snick of my childhood.
Being alone in a dimly lit room with the dudes from fckn bstrds on any sort of substance tops my list right now and for the foreseeable future.
Amusement park rides. Childhood trauma drama: at age 5, I was too tall for the genteel kiddie rides and forced to ride the big 'uns. Baaaaaad idea.
Hipsters
Metro
omg srsly snakes. one got in my house. picked up puppys and ran down middle of street screaming. roommate following calling me a deserter.
Attack Attack!
Getting ass raped in jail.
McFadden's
what scares me the most in this world is my fiance is the biggest TMV fan in the world and he didn't even know this show was happening!? wtf, anyway for-real for-real i'm terrified of the obese ladies on the metro sitting on me (when they know there is absolutely no way they can fit into a row with another person.) *shudder*
Brightest Young Things
Dudes in brown flip flops and dudes in brown flip flops holy crap, why are all these dudes wearing brown flip flops??
Seriously....they're pretty scary.
Geese
clowns, amusement park foam animals.
McFadden's is very scary. catcatcatcat should probably win.
being chased up stairs
especially/specifically if it happens to be narrow spiral staircase in some deep underground French catacombs in paris without any escape until you reach the top! <-- actually happened to me, heart pumping-ly scary! now i have a fear of all stairs
I'm terrified that the 2000's will be remembered as the decade of bro fashion- layered polos, popped collars, adidas flip flops with white socks, shutter shades? It would be utterly unfortunate.
Brett Favre/the rolling stones: totally zombies.
creeps the hell outta me
solitary confinement vis-à-vis Stabler from Law & Order SVU
Billy Mays coming back from the dead. if there's any zombie that could convince me to willingly give my brain & 2 payments of $19.95, it's him.
Seeing Mars Volta on acid. But then, I'm known for doing foolish things that scare the crap out of me.
I agree with Pat.
Well played LP!
Mars Volta on acid, that should win it.
I think catcatcatcat and pat are in cahoots! haha, McFaddys should be a bit better now that the real world is gone.
the thing that scares me the most would be dying unexpectedly, it would just suck
