[UA] What scares me.

[Royal Minister of Stuff]

Now, you see, what scares me is my old imaginary
friend.  I don't remember the sucker too well, but my
parents say he used to hang out in the basement and
sometimes I'd come upstairs crying because "he almost
caught me."  Then again, they used to let me stay up
late and watch whenever one of the old Universal
Monster flicks came on or there was a particularly
good Hammer film.

I also had this dream where my Star Wars toys were
trying to kill me.  Then my dog ate one, Luke
Skywalker, as I recall, and passed it rather noisily. 
I went out to see what was wrong and that added a
whole new spin to the nightmare.
