Fear Not....


When Tierney was little, she was afraid of Zombies. I'm not even sure where she heard about them or why she was scared. She was also afraid of aliens landing in the front yard and coming in her bedroom window. She would line her sill with toys that would make noise when they fell over so she could be prepared to run to Linda's room. Add to that list clowns and I think the Pillsbury Dough Boy and the Michlein Man too. All of these weird fears might explain the quirky girl Tier is today. It's a good thing she wasn't in Seattle this week when they had a Horror convention. The fan-boys dressed up like zombies and roamed the streets. One man had a costume so realistic that it got him arrested. Someone called the police and a dozen cop cars arrived and ran up to the man with their guns drawn. Ooops! They realized he was just a costume zombie only dressed up for the conventions Resident Evil Zombie party. You think the organizers should have warned the city they were having a dress like a Zombie contest since there were dozens of guys stumbling around with their guts and eyeballs hanging out? (I agree, the Michlein Man is scary!)
