In one article Dave Barry admits to his readers that he is a really "big weenie". Every time he sees something scary, there is a part of him that convinces himself that it is possible. Once as a teenager he was so scared after seeing a scary movie that his date had to drive him home.
I have to say, it came as a very big relief that I am not the only (or the biggest) weenie in this world. Take just yesterday for example: I watched a movie on the sci-fi channel called Abominable. As you probably can guess, it was about the abominable snowman preying upon unsuspecting mountain tourists. I spent most of the time laughing at the majorly flawed plot line and downright stupid effects. They made no effort to make the blood not look like makeup, and I have a very high suspicion that they stole the Ewok masks off the set of StarWars to make their ambominable snowman costume. And yet despite all of that, I had to convice myself that the snowman was stupid, not real, and even if it was, what would it be doing in the middle of the city, at my house? I felt really stupid. But listening to Dave Barry having to convince himself the same thing about the Brainsucker, I felt a little more comforted in the fact that I am not alone.
(P.S. I am sorry to note that I have finished with Dave Berry's fabulous book, and I hope to read more from him to come)
