yeah... I hate pupets, ventroloquists dolls, dummies, statues, masks, DOLLS (all except rag dolls), and clowns.

but I like The Muppets, I love Sesame Street and Fraggle Rock and all of that. I can't really understand why they don't scare me, the probably should.

when I was like 9 years old, this doll came out (in 1986), it was called 'Cricket', and her little brother was 'Corky' and he was the model they base Chucky on. anyway, she was just like Chucky, she moved here eyes from side to side and had a tape recorder on her back and she'd TALK. it was a huge sensation, the best selling doll that x-mas (well, in Canada). anyway, JUST the comercial freaked me out! but, since my mom had already gotten mad at me for my 'absurd' fear of dolls, and she had already made me feel like there was something wrong with me, I tried to act all grown up, and I said opn timw while the comercial was on tv... "cool doll" and I guess I must've said it very convincingly, because like a week before Christmas, my brother and I were down in the base ment by the water heater looking to see if we might find the presents or something, when... there it was!... thast freakin' doll was standing right there in front of me! (Aaargh!) I almost passed out! but I had a whole week to 'practice' me 'cool' reaction infront of my parents.
that doll haunted me for like 8 years while it lived in my closet. I think my mom later gave it to one of my little cousins.
