>I don’t know if you know—vampires are cool people, are they not? But I’m going to tell you something I found out. A werewolf can kill a vampire. Do you know that? So I didn’t want to be a vampire anymore. I wanted to be a werewolf.

Finally, some coherent policy.

It's sad they propped him up like that. Herschel Walker's image will never recover. The republicans know he's dumb as fucking rocks, though mostly because they think that about all black people. And anyone else who ever had a shred of respect for him will lose it. At least he has kids.

He would probably think The Walking Dead is a documentary.

"Like I was watching a story on this great state of Georgia and did you know you we had to like fight Zombies? I thought it was really cool how they just keep on comin, kinda like me when I played ball. Like why don't they stop? And they seem to not waste anything, like why don't we eat people? There are so many. You know some people look like they could actually be good. I once heard it's like pork. I actually really like pork..I think I would make a good Zombie."

(Don't go nerdy on me, I know it's the Frankenstein monster. A piece of fiction, rather like werewolves and vampires.)

Yes, the ever-expanding, yet largely neglected zombie demographic. Should they all turn out on election day, there could be a massive shift in America's political orientation.

Possibly due to propaganda, though more likely due to nibbling on opponents.

Crizbibble t1_iwpbzng wrote

I like him coming clean about being a blood sucking vampire (leech) but I’m not sure, even fictionally, he can turn into a werewolf as they were two different species. Sure sure the vampire and werewolves hybrid but he would need to be birthed by a vampire and werewolf with the blood of Covinus so that’s not probable. Even when this idiot talks about fiction he gets it completely wrong.

bearsheperd t1_iwoorg1 wrote

Oh man see you gotta remember, werewolves are only strong when they are transformed. Vampires are strong 24/7, well except In the sun. So a vampire can easily kill a werewolf on a moonless night. Werewolves are just regular dudes without the moon. The vampire just has to worry about the werewolves they are trying to kill having UV lamps.

14

dirtmother t1_iwoucx6 wrote

The relation to the full moon to werewolves is relatively recent, mostly added so black and white movies had an excuse to have well-lit night scenes. Most werewolf mythology pre-Hollywood involved being able to change into a wolf at will via witchcraft, or a curse that would randomly transform them. So more than one night a month.

Werewolves are equipped with thick lumberjack shirts and bushy beards 24/7. Vampires have, what, pasty skin and a cape?
