What would make you break Usain Bolt's 100 meter record?

Asked by rebbel (35549points) June 23rd, 2011

What event/situation/phenomenon/etc. scares you so much that you easily would run the 100 meters in under 9 seconds?
For me it is the blue envelope of the IRS.
9.21 sec.

Finding out that I had a possessive stalker of the equivalent or greater level than that scary lady from Misery.

Bunch of wussies! I stand my ground and cut them to pieces with my rapier wit. That, or bore them to death with empty threats. I don’t run. My knees hurt.

I know I set a world record kayaking when I did so with an alligator in the water with me—very motivational! So I figure I would have a similar reaction to a gator on land and flee . . .

If fluther shut down, I would run to the house of whoever is responsible and give them one of these.

A scary clown with his fly open scampering in my direction…

I think @kayak8’s alligator (although it would be a croc here) would have me running real fast or being chased by a Taipan or really any ferocious animal that had the potential to do me in.

Or maybe meeting a real Hannibal Lecter.

@Bellatrix After that paddling excursion in Louisiana, I had alligator for dinner. Somehow, it just seemed right.

Bellatrix's avatar

lol but fair I think! Being followed by an alligator would have been pretty disturbing. I imagine this little fella wished he could have finished this experience with a bit of whale blubber for dinner. link
