Everyone is afraid of something. I certainly am.

Are you familiar with those t-shirts that say “No Fear”? Those people are spoofing us, I think.

No, I don’t believe them for a minute. No brains, maybe. No fear? Not likely.

People are fearful of all sorts of different things. What may be a silly fear to one person… can be quite terrifying to another. Sometimes we “get over” our fears. Other times, they lock us up tight. Stop us in our tracks. Hold us at bay. You get the idea.

It seems that here lately, there are a lot of social and political fears.

Well… for instance…. there are certain folks who are afraid of having a Mormon president. Others have fears that we have a black President. Different individuals might dread a female president from Alaska.
Some people are frightful of Homosexuals. Still others are terrified of the Tea Party. It goes on and on and on….

But, I’ll tell you… try not to worry about those things. They just don’t compare to the greatest threat of all…

Greg, the Giant Garden Gnome.

Ever had that sneaky feeling someone was watching you? Or hear an unexplainable noise….? Felt a sultry and sudden shift in the wind? Or perhaps you’ve noticed, from time to time, an overpowering aroma of warm Twinkies?

Yep. It’s Greg. You should fear Greg. He’s not like you… and he’s getting bigger every day. Don’t let that crappy grin fool you either. It is a ruse. Greg the Giant Garden Gnome. Scary.

Sort of like… buy WAY, WAY worse… than any of those other fears.

I always try to catch these things on film… but you know…
“Fear is a darkroom where negatives develop.”
