Childhood worries

[dreamer_easy]

1. Shipwrecked on a desert island
2. Lift will explode if "bypass" button pressed
3. Aunty Jack ripping one's bloody arms orff
4. Loud musique concrete on radio = rogue Venus Probe from Six Million Dollar Man in loungeroom

More as I remember them.

If Aunty Jack looks like she's about to rip your bloody arms off, simply pick up Thin Arthur and use him as a pole to keep her out of arm's reach :D

That bloated vaguely-Dalek-shaped contraption TERRIFIED me as a six year-old. I mean, keeping watch at my window and listening for the approaching drive noise terrified. *shiver*

I had a childhood nightmare about the bloody thing where it exterminated me, as if it was a Dalek, but I still hung there in midair, bodyless.

as an ignorant American may I ask if Aunty Jack is a relative or some sort of celebrity?

She's an Australian TV character from the early seventies, known for her threat that if you didn't watch her show, she'd rip your bloody arms orff. Actually, she made that threat pretty much constantly to all around her, but if I thought I'd missed her show I'd be pretty worried she might be coming for me on her motorbike.

I can relate to (1), except in my case it was being shipwrecked onna desert island which was then bombarded by strange meteorites which brought creeping white fungus that Killed Stuff.

Blame watching "Swiss Family Robinson"...
