Title: We forgot about those?
Post by: Saintaw on August 23, 2006, 12:59:15 AM
Saw an interesting doc yesterday about Transnistria (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transnistria)

Nice little regime with one of the biggest USSR weapon warehouses unlocked. Apparently over a hundred nuclear suitcases are missing from their inventory.

If Transnistria is anything like Transylvania I think it should be put on one of the axis in the axis of evil drawing we all know Bush has on his desk in the oval office.

Vampires with nukes are no good imo, although i doubt they would use nuke. Their food would be contaminatied.

would they be resistant to radioactivity due to thier immortality or would they be torturously consumed by the side effects such as sickness, strange genetic mutations or male pattern baldness?

hmmm.

A 100 nukes missing. That's nothing compared to some towelheads armed with pipebombs and WWII era "missiles" is what I'm getting at, you Oclub twits. :p

sunlight.  is it possible that a vampire could be destroyed by the flash of an atom bomb?  is it the same wavelength?  is wavelength relevent?

could a special uv vampire killing flash light be used effectively against a vampire or it is based on actual fusion wattage?

hmmmm.

Ok..

Your list of things that kills vampires are true.. all of them kills regular folks too and number 3 on that list will kill any nerd.

Same goes for things you listed that harm vampires.

Your list of properties is interesting because it is also a list that any geek/nerd belives he has or can do.


My conclusion is that nerds and geeks are infact... vampires.
Title: We forgot about those?
Post by: JB88 on August 23, 2006, 06:25:05 AM
very interesting postulation nilsen, however, i wonder if the sharing of a geeks base properties is enough to close the book on vampiricness.

for instance, though a geek may believe that he has the same properties, in many cases he does not. well, everything but non reflective that is.

are there any geeks that you know of here that we can use as a test subject?

Ehhh.. this is the oclub. The head geek is comming to work soon, I suggest you ask him as soon as he gets plugged in.
Title: We forgot about those?
Post by: JB88 on August 23, 2006, 06:29:14 AM
what i am wonder is...is it possible that a vampire is just an advanced form of geek?
Title: We forgot about those?

Could very well be JB88. I have never seen any evidence that this is not the case.
Title: We forgot about those?
Post by: JB88 on August 23, 2006, 06:36:42 AM
we could try to post images of things that a vampire would really hate...


(http://www.cnn.com/HEALTH/indepth.food/herbs/herb.images/garlic.jpg)




if we hear someone scream then we cou...oh.  wait.  nevermind.

if someone screamed that could just mean that someone was being attacked by the vampire.


hmmmm.

Lets just see who stops posting from now on.

Post by: Shuckins on August 23, 2006, 06:38:46 AM
That should read a "stake in the heart" not a "steak in the heart."  Unless you're dining at some wierd foreign restaurant.

anyone care for a slightly used porterhouse?

OK... we have our first grammar geek in the house, but no go. He is still breathing.


I see Skuzzy on the horizon, now it gets interesting.

Post by: JB88 on August 23, 2006, 06:49:26 AM
skuzzy gets to work at 7 am.

ouch.

he must burn really bad when he gets out of the car to...

wait a minute.  why didnt i think of that.  of course he must work in a dark room that has a tunnel that leads to his coffin chamber.

the grammar geek spelled weird wrong.

go figure.  

are you sure he is a grammer geek and not just a regular grammar police officer?

it could be important to know that distinction before we make any assumptions or make any changes in our thinking.

hmmm.

perhaps we should thump him on the head and see if he grows fangs or a widow's peak.

He arrives before the sun gets up, and leaves after is has goten down. The stack of evidence is getting taller.

Good point.. evidence is not submittable.

Post by: JB88 on August 23, 2006, 06:53:57 AM
yes, you are correct.

does he ever wear a cape to work i wonder.

Hmm dunno, call HiTech office and ask. The number is on the support page.

But in all fairness.. are capes part of what makes them vampires or is it just a fashion statment?
Title: We forgot about those?
Post by: JB88 on August 23, 2006, 07:03:37 AM
iit appears that he does not wear a cape while drinking beer, but then there are several unknowns.  

1. did he have a relflection?  anyone who went to the con remember him having one?
2. is he thirsty for blood?
3. if he is not thirsty for blood does he switch out of his cape.

man this is tougher than i thought.

The picture speaks for itself

I can see no reflections... EVIDENCE
He is drinking, and covering the label... EVIDENCE
Title: We forgot about those?
Post by: JB88 on August 23, 2006, 07:11:03 AM
he also appears to have a slight widows peak.

hmmmm

not seeing any puncture wounds on the other people in the picture, but you never really know how long they have been bitten and how long it takes to heal.  we could be looking at a picture of all vampires....

wait 88.  slow down  one undead night walker at a time.
Title: We forgot about those?
Post by: Nilsen on August 23, 2006, 07:13:12 AM
And no tan.. pale but not fat.

When was the last time you saw a fat vampire?

EVIDENCE
Title: We forgot about those?
Post by: JB88 on August 23, 2006, 07:14:55 AM
its true that he is not fat, but pale...

arent geeks also pale?

that's one for the geek pile.
Title: We forgot about those?
Post by: Nilsen on August 23, 2006, 07:18:06 AM
Looks like we are getting pretty darned close to taking this claim to the oclub court. Skuzzy should get himself a good lawyer and a tan to prove his innocense.

Im thinking he is screwed.
Title: We forgot about those?
Post by: JB88 on August 23, 2006, 07:18:49 AM
note also however that lizard3 is wearing a fanny pack.

skuzzy is not.

fanny pack is geek.  beer is not always geek.

skuzzy lacks major geek tool.  

it could yet actually be on his backside.  

conclusion withdrawn.  not solid.
Title: We forgot about those?
Post by: Nilsen on August 23, 2006, 07:21:30 AM
But how can you be sure its beer he is drinking? I see no lable.. he may have picked up a bottle of 0+ at the closest ER. he is dressed in a near perfect nurse-white uniform.
Title: We forgot about those?
Post by: JB88 on August 23, 2006, 07:34:32 AM
oh god that's true.  he could be.

i wonder if the other people in the office know that he drinks blood in his soda cans during the day.

if we do call, it would be irresponsible of us not to warn them wouldnt it?
Title: We forgot about those?
Post by: Nilsen on August 23, 2006, 07:39:32 AM
I think you should call.. Im too far away and I only have a cellphone. Any way you could tape that convesation?
Title: We forgot about those?
Post by: JB88 on August 23, 2006, 07:46:11 AM
not sure how to do that.

i could email info@hitechcreations.com though.

surely they must keep records of the vampires working in thier office.

wouldnt they?
Title: We forgot about those?
Post by: Nilsen on August 23, 2006, 07:53:06 AM
I would think they do.

The question is how reliable their statements would be. For all we know it could be a hive and they could all be vamps. They are all pretty geeky for sure.

Post by: JB88 on August 23, 2006, 07:59:40 AM
how about this one?



hello,

my name is JB88 and i am a frequenter of the O'club.

nilsen and i were just wondering if anyone there would have any information as to whether skuzzy is, or is not, in fact, a deady vampire.  there have been rumors to that effect and i would like to clear the matter up for all of us in the o'club.

charges and evidence can be found at...
http://www.hitechcreations.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=185539

we are also concerned with the answer to whether or not vampires can survice nuclear radiation in high doses.


please accept my advanced appreciation for any information that you may have on this matter.

arent vampires consider to be among the undead?  if so would radioactive blood be consider to be something like spiked punch?
Title: We forgot about those?
Post by: Nilsen on August 23, 2006, 08:28:03 AM
Go ahead 88.. post the feply here so we can all take part.



JT.. that may be the case.. There is no evidence off anything else as far as ive seen.

Vampires in Transnistria?!

They make quite qood brandy there. Last time had a bottle 2 weeks ago, White Stork, from Tiraspol'.

Missing Soviet nuclear weapons - don't make me laugh. We kept a whole 14th army to secure old WWII weapon stocks there and save that poor guys from Romanian/Moldavian invasion...

Ah, suitcase nukes...an old story that stills captivates an audience even though no evidence is apparent.

Quote
For now, suitcase-sized nuclear bombs remain in the realm of James Bond movies. Given the limitations of physics and engineering, no nation seems to have invested the time and money to make them. Both U.S. and the USSR built nuclear mines (as well as artillery shells), which were small but hardly portable--and all were dismantled by treaty by 2000. Alexander Lebed's claims and those of defector Stanislev Lunev were not based on direct observation. The one U.S. official who saw a small nuclear device said it was the size of three footlockers--hardly a suitcase. The desire to obliterate cities is portable--inside the heads of believers--while, thankfully, the nuclear devices to bring that about are not.



If you've got time, here is the rest of the story that dispells the myth:

Post by: JB88 on August 24, 2006, 03:37:57 AM
has anyone asked skuzzy yet?  

i was thinking that since vampires are bats and since he is only a few hundred miles of flight away that i should probably make sure that all my windows and doors are closed and locked.

i cant imagine him being very happy with us for outing him as an undead.

you are probably safe where you are, but you never know, he might have connections over there...i'd just play it careful.  you know, wear a turtleneck, eat italian for lunch...

be brave.

Actually I think since they work at night, glow in the dark food would make things easier on them.
