What are you secretly afraid of?
Time

I realize it might be somewhat backwards, but I am actually afraid of living too long. I do not wish to meet the me of the future who has no idea he has left the house with mismatched shoes. (Mind you, I have already reached the stage where I cease to consider the compatibility of my socks and yet seem willing to carry on at least as far as my next luncheon.)

Worse, he may begin to recount the same anecdotes until visits with him become a matter of duty rather than pleasure. (Wait, are they a matter of pleasure now? This is hard to consider given I have not had visitors in quite some time...and now my wonderful thread languishes for lack of proper subject matter...)

What was I on about again?

That Disney is going to attempt some kind of half-assed OUT release and accidentally leave SE stuff in.

(They should probably go back to an IP or release print instead of the negative. There are just too many ways to fuck things up by going back to the negative, permanently altered or not.)

 That's definitely something I've been worried about. 

I'm also terrified of drowning and grasshoppers.

 I could be persuaded of a fear of drowning in grasshoppers I suppose...

Oh. I suppose I should have waited out your sentence entire prior to jumping to conclusions...sorry about it....

Now, DE, sighing sadly for having to ruin his erstwhile effort at building towards so straight a line, opts for the very tempting:

Do chickens have personalities?  If so, should we be eating them?

Is not personality synonymous with flavor? 

 Not necessarily.  Everybody always wants the fattest cows, pigs, and chickens for their food, and being more fat would probably make them sluggish, therefor decreasing personality but increasing taste, so by this train of thought personality is inversely proportional to flavor.

 Ah, very good! This is acceptable: personality may yet be equated with flavor, but perhaps now in a negative sense...

So if I present this the other way around. We are infants without any prior experience. We both look at an cubical object emitting a radiation at frequency about 650THz. What you experience in your brain is this:

and what I experience in my brain is this:

We are both told by the parents that this object is blue. Then we go outside and we see the sky for the first time. Will we both call it blue? Of course we will.

 Thank you for your offer of the above brown and green respective boxes in mine thread of philosophical discussions, however I must refuse such a kind offer as I have no use for them now that Christmas has passed. If you do not wish to take them back we may both simply leave them out in the hopes that one of the less fortunate members may find them and delight in their perfectly squarish appearance.
