a little
WIN!!!!! cuz i lol’d.
I THINK I SHIT MY PANTS FROM LAUGHING.
LOL me too!!!!!! This is just too f***ing funny!!!!!
I like the other caption that said “DO NOT WANT.”
Wasn’t there another one with the cap that read, “How does Obama work these things” or some such? VERY lol. Every time I see McCain I know I want to cry.
The little girl is like
“NOOOOOOOOOO! DO NOT WANT CRYPTKEEPER!!!!!!!”
Sick of this picture…
… and the old man…
…. and the sea too, for that matter.
yay! for Hemingway reference.
Oh, so McCain is a Vampire now? He was scary to start out with, but…
Nah, this is more like a flesh and soul eating ghoul for those nitpicks like me.
Definately not a vampire – the fact that he’s in the sun would be the hint there…
That too.
unless you go by “twilight” standards…course then he’d be all sparkly-glass-like.
I totally LOLed at this. and spit coke on the screen *wipes*
God, I hate that series. At least Rice gave her bishi vampires some class… Not just girl wank sap.
Try teaching teenagers with reading problems. Every single girl in my classes have either read twilight or are currently reading twilight. I may have to kill myself before Christmas.
I had to read Twilight to understand all of the bumper stickers on Facebook. And she totally phoned in the last book……the others were extremely simple, mildly enjoyable, the last one sucked such major a$$ that I think I might kill myself so I don’t have to think about it.
if you hate twilight you should read “til twilight tears away” at http://zerosoul.deviantart.com/art/til-twilight-tears-away-101154953. The grammar kinda sucks but its better than Twilight.
FYI: its a twilight parody.
SCORE! thank you for saying that. i totally agree.
i enjoyed the series up until the final book. note “enjoyed” not “really liked” it was ok. i hate rice. I actually hate vampire novels in general. the only one worth read in my opinion is Dracula b/c it’s a classic piece of literature. now, the one other vampire series i’ve read is the southern vamp series that True Blood is based on, those were enojyable too.
i liked twilight b/c they could go out in the daytime, and because of the sparklies. i liked the idea of the sparklies.
You would like the idea of sparkles…
As for Rice, I don’t read her work, I avoid most of the bishi Woe is Me vampire crap. And I avoid vampire wank service. Blah, I lack the drive to continue a vampire conversation. I will try to pick this up in the morning.
Queen of the Damned was the best one of the series, it all went downhill after that.
i read “Interview”, i felt it went downhill from chapter one….
but to each thier own.
I didn’t really like Interview either, Louis was a whiny b*tch. So I guess what I’m saying is I really only liked Vampire Lestat and Queen of the Damned. Overall I don’t think her writing was all that impressive. I, like you, also like the Sookie Stackhouse series, but I don’t get HBO so I haven’t seen the show.
*Cough*
How the hell did the reply get this long? O.o
I happen to love the Twilight series, so stop snuffing it, jerks.
Jane! Click my name for a link to watch True Blood for free! Warning: they tend to stick to book one pretty well at first, but they do spin it off into thier own territory. They should technically rename the show SEX: or Several Excuses to Show Jason Stackhouses’ Rear End. NOT that I’m complaining, it’s a nice rear end.
I’m not one for a literal book-movie/show translation. I tend to view them as sperate entities. Expecially with Alan Ball doing this show, he is creative enough to make it his own, but hold the spirit of the novels in play.
ever read anything by Rice’s son? Christopher Rice. They all have gay protagonists, except for the 4th one, but the sex isn’t graphic so I think you might be able to read them without being like “ugh, penis together”. The first, “A Density of Souls” is about a group of friends who grow apart in high school and the aftermath of a tragedy they are all involved in. The second, “The Snow Garden”, is about these college students f*cked-up sex-capades and mental issues wrapped around a professor suspected of murdering his wife. the third, “Light Before Day” is about an alchoholic journalist investigating a missing ex-boyfriend who gets drawn into the nasty underworld of child pornography and meth production/smuggling in California (this one is VERY well researched and my absolute favorite). His fourth and latest one, “Blind Fall”, is about this striaght Marine who goes to visit the commanding officer who saved his life to find him mrdered in his bed. The Marine discovers that this guy was gay, and whoever killed him is after his boyfriend, so the Marine takes the Bf under his wing. Its good one different levels from “Light Before Day”, it’s more about truth and consequences and the adverse effect of hidden sexualities in the military, and homophobia and it’s root causes. I definately reccomend them to anyone, ths guy can write circles around his mom.
I think my favorite vamp books would have to be Tonya Harding’s Blood series (ok, not original title, there).
I used to like Laurell Hamilton’s vamps. Until she went off the deep end into ‘Anita Blake’s magic…um…girl parts…saved the day.’ There CAN be too much sex in a book, after all!
Nug uh
I love the Merideth Gentry novels!!!!
I actually started with the Merideth Gentry novels, but after I lost interest in Anita (surprisingly it was the horrible whiny characters, not the sex, that ruined it for me) I sort of lost interest in those too. Now I just can’t pick them up because I have smote Laurell K. from my authors list and she is dead to me.
My Merry Gentry pre-order of the latest book just shipped from Amazon today. I can’t wait to read it!
I also recommend the Black Dagger Brotherhood series by J.R. Ward.
Sorry, J.R. Ward is dead to me as well.
I have an ex-wife so I’ve had about as much bloodsucking as one person should have to endure. I’ll stick with war novels, much tamer thanks..
casca?

Totally unrelated to this discussion. We now return you to our version of Shaun of the Dead..
Hear, hear. The Anita Blake serious kicked ass until the sex went from part of the plot to the entire thing, book after book. Basically the series went to crap after obsidian butterfly.
I still like Laurell K. Hamilton’s Anita Blake series, for vampire books. Although the last few have started to sacrifice plot for more extreme erotica scenes.
Exactly. I’m anything BUT anti-sex. But a plot is still a necessity!
I love Stoker’s “Dracula.” Did you ever read his “The jewel of seven stars?” I still don’t get the ending….
Of course…vampires don’t explode into flames when sunlight hits them. Not right away, anyway.
Foolish. They can withstand for short periods of time. The halflings go even longer.
There are some species that are unaffected by daylight (cf. “Carmilla” by Sheridan LeFaneau), and even some allergic to moonlight.
Still, nothing beats the vampire pumpkin of Romanian folklore. They weren’t terribly dangerous; they mostly just rolled around and growled.
Yeah…that was actually a quote from last week’s episode of True Blood.. So sorry, you both fail.
If you read the original ‘Dracula’, you’ll see that he was seen in daylight frequently, and was even hit by direct sunlight at least once.
Froo~ ‘Though I respect Stoker, “Carmilla” is a little more endearing… No, that’s not the right word. “Titillating”? I dunno at this hour. LeFauneau’s tale predates “Dracula” by a about twelve years and deals with lesbian vampires. Kinky stuff.
Elliott~ Bad me: I don’t watch television. Rots the brain and corrodes the attention span.
I’ve actually never read ‘Dracula’. I’m simply quoting from a Yahoo article I saw the other day
Also, I got started on vampires with the Anne Rice stuff, moved on to the Van Helsing mytholgy movies like ‘Underworld’, slipped into some other, slightly non-mainstream stories (that were mostly fan-fic type stuff), and finished up with the Laurell K. Hamilton ‘Vampire Hunter’ novels. I’m an equal opportunity mythilogical creature story reader, so I really don’t care who writes it as long as it’s a good read. There is some Stephen King stuff out there that’s pretty good too, although it’s in short story format.
King absolutely rules the short story genre. His longer stuff, not so good.
I disagree. ‘Rita Heyworth and the Shawshank Redemption’ is and always will be one of my favorites. And if I could get through ‘It’ *SHUDDER* again, I would proclaim it to be one of the scariest, best written stories of all time. Of course, I can’t get past the ‘clowns eat people’ aspect of it long enough to enjoy it OH CRAP HERE THEY COME AGAIN!!!! AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!! *runs away*
Must not forget the Bachmen books as well. The Long Walk and Te Running Man both classics that stand out more than the others. Also Rage was excellent.
Bachman*
Bachman is an interesting part of Stephen King’s psyche. If you compare ‘The Regulators’ to ‘Desperation’, the Bachman version of the same story comes off as more cruel and less hopeful overall. I just wonder about King that he has that inside of him
“Shawshank” isn’t a novel unto itself; I should have mentioned his pwndom of novellas. “Apt Pupil” is far, far better than the pabulum Bryan Singer put out.
To be honest, I haven’t read anything more recent than “Gerald’s Game”, which I felt had a great ending 150 pages before it actually ended.
To each is/her own.
*offers froofrou a ballon from within a sewer grate*
I COMPLETELY agree with you on ‘Gerald’s Game!! He should have stopped while he was ahead. I loved ‘Christine’, ‘The Tommyknockers’, and basically everything he has written. I felt he phoned in ‘From a Buick 7′, and I loved his collection of short stories that came out a couple of years ago. Drawing a blank on the name.

I thought the caption referred to this:
Gozer: The Choice is made!
Dr. Peter Venkman: Whoa! Ho! Ho! Whoa-oa!
Gozer: The Traveller has come!
Dr. Peter Venkman: Nobody choosed anything! (turns to Egon) Did you choose anything?
Dr. Egon Spengler: No.
Dr. Peter Venkman: [to Winston] Did YOU?
Winston Zeddemore: My mind is totally blank.
Dr. Peter Venkman: I didn’t choose anything…
All three: (turn to look at Ray): Ray?
Dr. Raymond Stantz: I couldn’t help it. It just popped in there.
Dr. Peter Venkman: What? What “just popped in there?”
Dr. Raymond Stantz: I… I… I tried to think…
Dr. Egon Spengler: LOOK!
[they all look over one side of the roof]
Dr. Raymond Stantz: No! It CAN’T be!
Dr. Peter Venkman: What is it?
Dr. Raymond Stantz: It CAN’T be!
Dr. Peter Venkman: What did you DO, Ray?
Winston Zeddemore: Oh, shit!
[they all see a giant cubic white head topped with a sailor hat, Peter looks at Ray]
Dr. Raymond Stantz: [sigh of resignation] It’s the Stay-Puft Marshmallow man.
I guess I was wrong…..
Absolute win!
Surely he is one of the Old Gods.
Oops, what I posted is going to get eated for a bit cause I forgot to censor.
[So I'll try again. Sorry if this comes up elsewhere!]
The “sacrifice” made me think of this:

Dr. Raymond Stantz: [sigh of resignation] It’s the Stay-Puft Marshmallow man.
Ray, when someone asks you if you’re a god, you say “YES”!
Yes…
[applause]
And it’s even sort-of timely for Halloween!
Attempting to separate conjoined twins is a rare, complex and risky procedure, which is why these cases receive worldwide media attention.
Don’t sacrifice a kid, I said.
Kids are cute, I said.
People like kids, I said.
Sacrifice Carrot Top instead, I said.
But does anybody listen to me?
Noooo.
I don’t think anything wanting a sacrifice would want Carrot Top now that he’s freaked himself way over the limit of even…freak. *shudder*
Yeah, I heard they were going to sacrifice him, but everyone was too uncomfortable to get close enough to do it.
I don’t like kids. I would like them to stay off my lawn.
Dang. Lawns are to be walked on. OK, so my kids are the ones who like to pretend to be arcaeologists and dig, but still…
omg i lol’d sooo hard at this.
so did my boss!
You’re fired.
My God, what a horrible picture.
The mom (?) looks like an obese Rick Astley.
I didn’t even realize it was a woman until I saw the woman’s watch.
me too…it looked wrong…disturbing…and lil’ creepy..
You know, I actually feel bad for McCain in this picture. He’s being handed annoying children who scream at him. Come to think of it, if McCain is president, it would be similar. Expect he’s being handed annoying adults who scream at him. I guess we should vote for the president who can handle annoying screamers the best.
He should have dropped her crying, annoying ass.
No, no, no – the child’s response is entirely appropriate!! The kid should kick HIM in the *&^$ for pretending to be amused!!
Look, if you were being held by a complete and utter idiot whose only love was the “hot” librarian he chose as his VP, wouldn’t you cry? For our country’s future if not for yourself?
Dude. That kid is scared to death. “Get me away from this creepy, smelly old man!”
As I walked out tonight, I saw the crescent moon with the star close to it (as in the flag symbol for Muslims) and thought ” This cannot be a good sign for the election tomorrow!”
I was reading that just then and thought, “this cannot be relevant for the election tomorrow”.
“Look to the stars, young man. That’s where your future lies” Of course that’s from NASA and not Nostradamus.
That was a planet, not a star. Feel better now?
OTOH, if it is sign, that’s a great big W00Terrific sign!
So the dark lord Voldemort has returned to our world …
Nice, true blood reference there.
MWAHAHAHAHAAA Shot hot coffee out mai nose
WOW that looks disturbing
