- The following are some things to think about concerning The Thirsty
- Undead. They are intended as rhetorical questions, but we all know there's
- no such thing on the nets.
-
- 1.) What is it about sunlight that hurts vampires? Why doesn't the light
- reflected from the moon bother them? Or the stars; isn't the sun a star?
- Or tanning booths? Do oranges bother them too? Maybe only Florida ones?
-
- 2.) When in bat form, can vampires spread rabies?
-
- 3.) Can they turn into golden retrievers or does it HAVE to be wolves?
-
- 4.) Let's say a famous rock star (we'll call him "Sting") is a vampire.
- Suppose he's being interviewed on MTV and Kurt Loder is asking him things
- like "So why do you only come out at night, and what's the deal with
- drinking your goupies' precious bodily fluids?" "Sting", realizing the
- game is up, lunges forward and rips Kurt Loder's throat out with his fangs.
- HAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHA! Wouldn't that be GREAT?
-
- 5.) Supposing Michael Jackson is a vampire. It would explain a lot,
- wouldn't it?
-
- 6.) Come to think of it, ever seen Dick Clarke in the daytime?
-
- 7.) Can a vampire watch one of those cable religious channels without
- bursting into flame?
-
- 8.) Can you?
-
- 9.) Can anyone?
-
- 10.) The human body is 98 percent water. If a priest blessed you, would
- then be 98 percent holy water, certain death to any bloodsucker?
-
- 11.) Let's assume that a vampire has a similar liquid-to-solid ratio. If
- one sneezes, and a priest says to her, "Bless you," what would happen?
- Would she just...explode? Or what?
-
- 12.) Do they REALLY say "I vant to suck your blood, blah blah blah." Well,
- why not?
-
- 13.) Why doesn't The Count on SESAME STREET ever slake his evil thirst? Is
- it the same reason Barney doesn't chow down on those little singing mammals
- that constantly surround him?
- ****************************************************************************
-
- And now, for those of you who don't like to dwell on things...
- THE ANSWERS
-
- 1) It's the sheer CHEERFULNESS in sunlight they don't like. They're a
- cynical bunch. They like BLOOD oranges, though. (Get it?)
-
- 2) No.
-
- 3) Nope.
-
- 4) Sure would!
-
- 5) YYYYYYYYYYYYEP....
-
- 6) Why, no, now that you mention it...
-
- 7) I think not.
-
- 8) (Group discussion question.)
-
- 9) (Ditto.)
-
- 10) Sure. You try it first.
-
- 11) KA-BLOOEY!
-
- 12) That'd be stupid.
-
- 13) It's a PBS thing. You know.
