A Mr. Rosie O'Donnell from Kankakee Illinois asks...

"Dear Mr. Knowitall...One of my 'acquaintances' the other day became very ill while we were having a little box lunch, and said that I must have ABLUTOPHOBIA, and ran off gagging!

Real phobias are sometimes stranger than the fake ones. Fear of haircuts is one I just heard about today.
Gee, I thought ALBUTOPHOBIA was fear of 'all but the kitchen sink'. Just goes to show how little I really know. Thanks for straightening me out. :)

LOL Best TMI to date. :)

It's ABLUTOPHOBIA....
I'll change it now...Thanks..G
i think i know that person...
I think I AM that person, Brian...How do you know me?
I have some of those phobias -- but they don't scare me as much as those pictures do!:)
personally i'm scared silly of those shots of courtney love and rosie o'donnell.
oh, and i have a fear of haircuts...though i am not sure it rises to the phobic level.
Too funny G-Daddy! Can't say I have too many "fears" or "phobias" ... I do have crowd anxiety. I will go into crowds but I absolutely hate it. It's the fear of not being able to move about freely ... *shrugs*
*huggles the G-Man all up*
MWAH

I thought Popeye had aBLUTOphobia... until he ate his spinach, of course.
sheeesh, i've always believed what i don't know can't hurt me. i'll never be the same again?!?!?!?!
Hello KnowitAll,
I come here via Brian Miller's blog. He writes super 55-word stories. I might even try my hand at it. I wanted to see YOUR 55-word stories, but couldn't find them in your archives. Hmmmm.
All those are enough to give a person a phobia! Would there be a name for that? LOL
(Hope I'm not stepping on G-Man's toes by answering here)
Ms. Gibson, just check in Mr. Knowitall's blog archive (via "Older Posts") for the weekly "Friday Flash 55" posts.
Also, in the comments you'll find links to the 55's of others (like myself) who post them there each week.
Hope this helps!
hahaha, G-Man! The epiphanies fear can create!
Btw, I have a fear of writers' block today! ;)
It's a scary world out there...
I have quintaphobia quintaphobia.
I have grown up,
I fear these no more!
