Has anyone read the Lynsay Sands vamp books?  The Argeneau Series?  Quite entertaining!

Yeah, that does seem to be what's going on.  I'd rather think about that manipulation you were talking about last night.  And, since you brought up gags........

Oh! Another vampire movie that is da shit: The Hunger. Catherine Deneuve, David Bowie and Susan Sarandon. The esthetic is pure '80s, but it's quite beautiful.

Dance of the Vampires (Polanski)has to be one of the best vampiric comedies ever: and you get to see Sharon Tate get spanked.

For the curious...

"Corrupted" seems to fit you well :-)~

I quite enjoyed reading your original posting on the matter!

As for manipulation and gags, well now, we dont want to steal the thread do we?!

Holy donkeys, RedMagic! They made a play out of it? In GERMAN? When where how?

It's not as atmospheric as the film, is it :-) . And the actress... no Sharon.

Well, when you weigh .025 of a gram, it's not real hard to be amazingly strong for your weight.  The scale for 100 kilogram organisms is literally meaningless when you attempt to apply it to <1 gram organisms.  The square-cube law that is relevant here doesn't have much to do with human feats of strength.  You'd be surprised what a little old lady or a tiny young girl can do, in terms of weight lifting, whether or not there's a car and a grandson involved. But that's nothing that the laws of physics and leverage can't account for. 

.....

A person can live on any protein source if they also ingest sufficient fat.  Homo sapiens is a pretty adaptable organism, nutritionally speaking.  On a diet of pure protein you end up having pretty serious problems in fairly short order, unless you start out with a relatively high percentage of stored body fat.   This has what to do with vampires? 

If you don't actually understand the mechanism by which something works, eg, teratogenic or mutagenic agents affecting nucleic acids in an organism or its offspring, it's probably better to stfu than to make up comic book stories about how you think it might work. 



Brains are so unbelievable sexy. And posts like this are the reason why, for me, you are one of the most attractive posters on here.

Also again, capitalizing common nouns is not done in any language. 



You are quite wrong on that one. In German all nouns are capitalized.


Edit to add: I just saw that you already acknowledged that. Sorry.

You seem to care a lot about education credentials, and think they somehow relate to intelligence.  Okay.  I published an assembly language computer program nationally when I was thirteen years old.  My first "real" job was as a Latin teacher at a private school.  I was hired into that position at the age of sixteen.  I have studied at "premier" academic institutions, and in my current position, I think up things no one else has ever thought of before.  I do that for a living.

Two of the best posters on CM believe they are psychological vampires.  I'll probably meet one of them within the next few months.  Am I going to ask for a demonstration?  Hell,  yes.  What makes a "best poster" to me?  Someone who actually demonstrates basic life-understanding, and whose goal in posting is to help others, not to belittle them.

From your tone of writing, I have to ask myself if you have accomplished anything beyond getting a degree from an institution you consider reputable.  I've learned a lot of shit in my life.  Maybe 5% I learned in school.  One thing I've learned though: vampires may not exist, but pompous, arrogant assholes walk among us for sure.

Spend some time and effort to fix yourself, pal.


I'm not your pal.  Read the rest of the posts for an indication of why I responded the way I did.  I took the position that vampires do not exist in reality.  I was bored, so I posted in the thread.  I brought up my education after being called a cousin marrying, ignoramus because I live in Arkansas.  You may find nothing wrong with using bigoted, ignorant, regional stereotypes; but I find it to be a sure sign of a person's weakness in both character and intelligence.  Mocking someone because of where they live is the same as mocking someone for their racial and ethnic background.  It shows ignorance about different people and the world at large.  After that remark, I was told that I had a third grade education by the same poster.  Like I said, read the entirety of what was said. 

As to your remarks, I have accomplished a lot.  I don't tell people what I do for a living unless I know them.  I like my privacy, and it would be simple to locate me if someone knew what I did for a living.  It's no one's business anyway.  Congratulations on your accomplishments; thank you for sharing.  Unlike you, I don't come here to "help" people.  I come here to be entertained occasionally when I am not working.  I don't feel the need to brag about my accomplishments; it wasn't my intent.  I didn't say reputable school.  I said accredited, which is not my opinion.  That being said, I don't look down on people because of their education or their careers.  I was merely responding to someone's regional bigotry and ignorance about people that live in the southern United States; specifically Arkansas.  Being from Iowa, you may want to think about how you would respond to similar remarks directed at you because of where you live before you cast stones in my direction.     

I consider myself a skeptic, and I am sorry if that pisses people off that want to believe the fantastic.  You may consider it pompous and arrogant.  I consider it realistic.  You can ask for proof all day long from "psychological vampires," but you won't get any.  I live in the real world, and I don't take someone's word for it when they make fantastic claims.  Yes pompous, arrogant assholes do exist.  So do pretentious twits with delusions of grandeur.  Take that however you want.

But who started the initial "attack"? Who was it who started it just because if my spelling of Vampyre? Who started the the whole thing about captalizing a noun? What was it you said about my use of British spelling? And with you not knowing anything aabout where I was born and raised, what was it you said about me for using that British way of spelling certain words? Wasnt it you who turned a vampyre debate into something more? Also if you would look back Im not quite sure where I ever took a stance one way or the other. Perhaps you were just making an assumption, or an ass out of yourself.

I didn't attack you.  You said that the existence of vampires would never be disproven until they catch one of "us."  So I assume you believe yourself a vampire.  Calling yourself a vampire is taking a position.  I found your spelling to be pretentious, and I explained why.  I never mentioned where you were from, because I don't know and don't care.  I didn't turn the debate into anything more.  I responded to derogatory comments about where I live.  Of course, no one has mentioned that at all.  Everyone thinks it's perfectly acceptable to ridicule people that live in the rural South. 

I am not going to argue about this anymore.  I have had a long day, and I am going to relax and enjoy my free time.

This is a public forum.  Lots of people read it.  Lots of woman-people read it, too.  You are "explaining" who you are to all of these people.  Do you think your digs at me actually make you more attractive to people you might be interested in?

The irony is that your actions are 100% on topic, as I have a good friend who would call you a psychic vampire, as you don't appear to be content unless you minimize the brainpower of others.
