5. Little Mermaid - One of my best friends and I saw this while we were stationed in Monterrey.  We'd cruise town with the windows rolled down blasting out "Under the Sea" and singing along.  Great times.

4. The Big Easy - Zydeco, Dr. John, Aaron Neville, c'mon what's not to love.

3. Repo Man - "We've got nothin' better to do...", "All I wanted was a Pepsi!"

2. There's Something About Mary - Jonathan Richman is my all-time fave.  I've spoken to him once even, and shook his hand.  I only said "Thanks" though.

1. Harold and Maude - I sang "Trouble", and "If You Want To Sing Out, Sing Out" every weekend through the entire Summer of 1988 as I drove from my adopted mother's house to my job as a camp counselor for angry inner city kids.

The most recent Kween_of_the_Queens challenge was to write about the scariest thing that has ever happened.

I could write about the obvious, my heart attack.  That was certainly scary, but it wasn't the scariest thing that has ever happened to me.

I could write about the car accident we had where the drunk driver hit our car with everyone in it.  That was scary, but the shock of it kind of numbed me to it for all but the first 3 seconds.

I can't write about ghosts and spirits since they don't scare me.  I could write about the vampire that lived in my childhood closet, but he turned out to not be so scary.

I could write about the one rodeo I was in as a kid.
the ticking beating seconds of my heart
before they yanked that dusty rodeo gate open
half grown anxious bleating calf
bony beneath my skinny boy knees
lurched into the sawdust arena
like lightning dropping from the sky,
launching me from it's back
a fleeting flailing flight
shoulder kicking dirt
I rolled and ran
from the angry little beast
sweaty grease smeared rodeo clown
burst between us
to leer distractingly
enough that I could hop the fence
 
THAT was scary. 
But not the scariest thing ever.

The scariest thing ever, was when the doctors at Bethesda Naval Hospital decided that they wanted to perform a version on my precious wife and the little breach baby in her tummy.

After failing to find a vein for her IV and making a bruised mess of her arm, several scrubs wearing medical personnel huddled around her Vaseline covered beautiful round belly, and pushed with all their strength.

And my wife screamed.

And I was afraid.

I was afraid for my baby.

I was afraid for my wife.

I was afraid of the pain and possible harm.

And I told them to stop.

And she told them to stop.

And after several times, they did.

Caesarean section became more palatable to us that day.

And I will never forget the terror as I watched the military doctors cause my love to scream out in pain, and I worried about everything that could go wrong.

THAT was my scariest moment ever.
