Nightmare Fuel

"*Even though I wake up screaming, covered in sweat and sometimes blood from my own nails being ripped out on the wall behind me, at least I don't have to worry about that work deadline anymore!*"
―Erik
Nightmare Fuel is the 46th lesson of Internet Comment Etiquette. It was released on June 3, 2016.

## Summary

Erik explains that he likes to use nightmare fuel to make himself less worried about his real problems. Then he watches a video of a penis-nosed monster.

Erik puts on a headset and connects it to a nightmare meter. Then he watches a whole lot of spiders and some people climbing way too high. But then he finds a video of a masked woman in latex, and it turns down his nightmare meter but it turns up his boner meter. After this he watches some videos of supernatural events but they're all fake.

Then he goes on LiveLeak and watches a video of his true fear, firecracker accidents, and it maxes out his nightmare meter. But then he accidentally watches a video of an infected penis and becomes so stressed that he turns into Skjöldr.

## Comments

*Hey had a dream you jumped out of my closet and held me down on my bed while screaming. Now my divorce doesn't seem so bad in hindsight. Thanks penis nosed monster.*
- Erik

*I think I heard my dick shriek when that asshole stirred up that spider nest with a stick like some kind of cotton candy merchant from hell. I'd rather move to North Korea with my four fat dogs who I love more than anything in the world than encounter something like this in the wild. Anyway thanks for the nightmare fuel which should give me break from worrying about what buildings George Bush is gonna fly his holograms into next.*

*How do we not have robots to do this job yet? I wouldn't climb that tower of death even if I was getting chased by a penis nosed monster with spider legs and there was no other way to escape. I'd let that foul creature lay eggs in my abdomen then happily give birth to his arcane children while they used me as their first meal. I don't even know what these tall ass fucking poles are used for but if my boy had one I'd at least try to bounce on it lol give a like if you're big money and don't forget ted cruz dreams to escape the nightmare that is his life.*

*THIS SHITS FAKER THAN THE DILDO I PASS OFF AS MY BONER WHILE HAVING SEX BECAUSE I HAVE CIRCULATION ISSUES!*
- Erik

*I HAVE CIRCULATION ISSUES WITH MY BONER THAT MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE A WOMAN!*
