The Khukuri vs. Count Dracula

ts you are truly prepared. That is the motto of the Boy Scouts if this failing memory serves me today and you do them credit.

Yangdu and I eat enough garlic to discourage just about any vampire. But I do have a silver mounted (hope tht will work) if one ever makes it past the garlic.

Not before I brag about my Toltott Kaposzta mas modra.

is obviously waiting for somebody to bite.

OK. I'll stick my neck out.

Knowing no Hungarian, I'll guess that kaposzta is 'cabbage' (kapusta is 'cabbage' in Polish), but what's the rest?

We recently had a British series on TV called "Ultravoilet" about a war against Vampires in modern day England. It was low key but it had some scenes of assault teams armed with HK MP-5's firing graphite progectiles, frag grenades using the same stuff and "tear gas" with a garlic component.

Pretty cool, the 'leaches' as they were known as tended to explode on taking a hit to the chest.

Back on Vampire lore, I seem to recall that silver bullets would work if they had been blessed by a priest.
 
You forgot to mention that the market you referred me to is adjacent to the back door of a rather large "adult" bookstore, Uncle Bill. Just a coincidence?

And I posted a reply earlier but the net ate it. Toltott Kaposzta is stuffed cabbage. Kind of a mini-meatloaf wrapped in cabbage, with dill and sour cream, sauerkraut, tomato sauce.....The east coast older girls used dill and sour cream, the west coast babies of the family like my mom used tomato sauce. Got 4 or more Hunky cookbooks, 3 or 4 family recipes, and none of them are alike.

Far as vampires go, wonder about the efficacy of the chopped garlic in red pepper sauce?

 
Good Evah-ning.....

I thought I'd pop in and offer my two billion baskyanaxifs (That's Romanian for the equivalent of two cents American).

First off, Dracula is a wimp.
I mean, the loser's scared of his own reflection, he gets all hot and bothered about some guy who nicks his neck shaving, and to top it all off, Crucifixes give the guy the heebie jeebies!!!
CRUCIFIXES?!?!?!??!!?
I bet that's just an excuse for the simpleton so his kids won't drag him to Metallica concerts!!!!
That rumor about garlic is true though.
Vampires are prone to ulcers like you would not believe!!!!
LOOK!!!!

Check the name on the scan, it's really, really true!!!

As for the edged weapons that are able to defeat the undead, a Leatherman Micra is your best bet.
Here's a picture I took of the infamous Vampiric nemesis, Dr. Van Secondhelping, in attack mode:

That was the first time I accidentally changed myself into a flying monkey out of plain old fear.

Hopefully my post has served to educate and enlighten.

Thanks, VG, I'd begun to wonder if you were waiting til the sun had set to come online.
 
I am new here myself but now I know I need never fear vampires with the knowledge I have acquired today. Thanks!

Rusty and Bill Martino, daylight only spooks that wimpy Dracula, and that's just because he has such a nasty skin condition.
I sashay about freely during the day.

Wild Bill, I'm happy to have been involved in aleiviating (I spelled that right, yep, I did!) your bloodsucker fears.

Mohd - I'm not sure how you meant what you said, but I have met a few of these so called "real" vampires. Only one frightened me.
I was at a fetish club in New York City and he was a bouncer.
Pretty big guy, but that's not a big deal.
What made me nervous were his yellow eyes with vertical pupils!!!
I'm serious... yeah, I know they were contacts, but I really didn't need that guy being added to my list of "People That Have Almost Made Me Change My Underwear"!!!

In any event, Martha Stewart is the scariest creature alive. As long as she stays outta my town, I shall remain brave.

I heard references over on Community to a post Mohd made on this thread, I'm glad I popped over here.

First off, Mohd, VG was joking. He's one of the funniest guys on the Internet, in my opinion.

Everybody else, I think I know what Mohd is talking about: I've heard several reports from people who are pretty level headed about "psychic vampires", people who can drain life energy from someone and add it to their own. Most of the reports are connected with high-level martial artists using this in mid-fight. One guy talked about sparring with people who could do this in a controlled, mostly-safe fashion; he developed the ability to block it and in such cases his "barrier" would cause the "vampire" to suffer ill effects. The guy I was talking to was a former boss, he was the one with the "blocking" ability, he was a 10-yr student of Tai Chi and had progressed deep into the point where it becomes a combat art. He was also a good guy, good boss and morally sound. I've lost contact, unfortunately.

This isn't the only case report I've heard. It certainly matches the characteristics Mohd describes. If someone had this ability but lacked "control" either through moral lack or lack of skill combined with panic in an emergency, it could be disastrous; one report talked about somebody in a hospital sucking so much power people were passing out in the vicinity...but the reporter was NOT as credible as that ex-boss.

I'm not totally certain I believe in this, but I've seen some pretty weird stuff and some of the reports were very credible. I'm certainly not willing to dismiss Mohd as a "kook" and I'm interested in any other info he or anyone else has on the subject.

Emotional and Spiritual Vampires do exist. And they are soul killers. I'm half asleep as I write this, will post more when I'
 
OK, I'm back and I'm awake now. Mohd and Jim are close enough to being right as far as I'm concerned.

Anywhere there is a place where there are people who are vulnerable to abuse or predation of any kind, abusers and predators will find it.

Child molesters weasel their way into working in day care centers. There are therapists who've gone into the mental health field to be able to glory over their clients. There are substance abuse counselors blackmailing their caseloads. Foster homes that target young girls for sexual abuse, and there *are* religious leaders who got into religion for the power of telling others what to do.

The Vampires, the Exploiters and Predators are the exceptions in all the fields I've cited ( and a lot I haven't ). It's just that they do so much emotional, mental, and spiritual damage all out of proportion to their numbers.

We know that it happens in other areas, but when it happens in a religious setting, it's always been covered up til the last few years. Now that it's been brought out into the open though, people are beginning to recognise it for what it is.

I list the below references to religious abuse simply to show that there is credible literature in the field. These are just a few in my bookcase on spiritual abuse. I've got a lot more I didn't list. And before you write me off as an atheist phobic about religion, I'm President of the Congregation I attend.

Rusty, I'm familiar with what you're talking about, where people hurt others in a sick desperate attempt to feel better. Hitler is probably the world recordholder in that department.

What I've heard of is a bit more "supernatural" than that, although that's almost certainly the wrong term.

I've studied several references to people into acupuncture and similar being able to "disrupt the flow of energy" in someone else. I've actually seen it done, and had it done to me. In these cases, there's no "vampire effect" where the energy goes into somebody else. For that matter, it's possible to build electronic devices that can "jam" the human nervous system at extended range, I've seen filmed demos of a guy passing out at around 25ft range. It was even directional. Problems include expense, power supply, etc...the US military has been experimenting with stuff like this.

So if there's energy that can be interfered with, it's not an immense step from there to directly sucking it up, either at contact distance or further.

I don't think this is quite the same as what Rusty is referring to?

I don't know Jim, they thought zombies were mythic or a form of hypnosis until a while back when a Haitian compound was analysed that would indeed cause zombie like behavior.

I have a grandmother, like I told you on the Community Forum, that has let hate eat her away until there's nothing left of her but a shell and pure hate. She has to engage in fomenting other's emotions to produce negative feelings, or she has nothing. Like a rattlesnake, she lives to inject her poison into others. We've nicknamed her Darth Vader.
She's been psychiatrically evaluated, and the verdict was she wasn't insane, just very twisted.

Where this blends with the paranormal or supernatural or divine vs. evil I can't say.
I can believe very easily that you saw what you described.

What's funny is that we've talked on this forum about the HI khuks having a spirit. I held a brass handled banspati and I didn't feel any spirit in it, where my khuks with horn or wood handles have a spirit in them that I can feel. Maybe others of you have handled banspatis and felt their spirit, and the one I handled knew I wasn't it's partner.
