Yep! Thx.
Mmmm, Hooters!
LOL! I was just going to post that link. What the hell was that anyway?
I love the top comment on YouTube: “brb,editing Wikipedia.”
Most importantly, it will show how Sarah Palin would react in the event of a Nazi invasion launched from the moon.
Personally, I can’t say I’d vote for her until I know her stance on this eventuality.
Plus, werewolves can still eat pizza and italian food. They never mention that you are going to have to give that up when they try to sell you on how great it is to become a vampire!
I liked the book. It was dark and surprisingly thoughtful, with an interesting take on a variety of historical characters. However, I don’t enjoy gore in movies, so if anyone sees this, it will be my teenagers.
And werewolves can still drink wine.
The Temeraire books are like that too..Naploeonic war tactics with world war 1 type aerial fighting done on dragons. Extremely well thought out.
Tom has some of those. They’re very well done. I read some sections when we were trying to get an “Oral Interpretation” piece out of one, but the premise is so unusual that we couldn’t put together a 10-minute segment that wouldn’t completely befuddle a random listener.
What is this? How can we be so judgemental of the poor, misunderstood vampire? Why, I just read this interview with a German vampire in the fine English press just tonight. The sheer number of problems they have to overcome on a daily basis is enough to make a brave man weep!
"I haff been un professional vampire for more than three centuries, and I haff seen many changes. Life ist not so gute for the vampire anymore. Just this morning I had to go to der supermarket. Vat vould der vampire need to go to der supermarket for, I hear you ask! Vhy, do you think mein cat ist der vampire also? Nein, Tiddles ist just der normal pussycat, und I need to buy catfood and milk and kitty litter. So off to Tesco I go - I haff to use der bus. In der old days, I could just change into der fleidermaus, but nowadays ze skies, zey are so crowded! Zey ist full of der luftcraft and I vould be splattered livink vhere I do in der flightpath of Heathrow. I cannot even get der driving permit, vat vould zey say in der driving school vhen zey look at mein provisional license und see zat I vas born in 1678? Zey vould say, hang on, zis guy ist der vampire! Stake him! So by bus I must travel, and the bloody price! I cannot get der OAP discount card for der same reason as I cannot get der driving licence. It costs me £2.50 just to get to bloody Tesco! It ist disgusting vhen von hass been paying der taxes for three hundred jahre! And zen, vhen I get to der supermarket, I cannot even enter becoss just as I do not show up in der mirror, I do not show to der infra-red camera thingy vat opens der automatic door. I haff to vait until someone else goes in und zen sneak in behind dem! Und vat do I see, right by the doors as I go in? The vegetable section...vith rows und rows und shelves und shelves full of garlic! Der garlic brings me out in hives und I sneeze everyvhere! Zen der mirrors everyvhere on der valls - people notice dat I haff no reflection and zey know I ist der vampire, so they start throwing der garlic at me! It ist embarrassing for a senior citizen such as myself!"

I have it on good authority that they prefer piña coladas from Trader Vic's.
So John Wilkes Booth was a vampire putting Lincoln out of the way.
