“No No No! I said Which cakes are on sale! Which cakes, Which cakes!!”

All about a Black Cat

The Pope is engaged in an intellectual debate with an atheist. Fed up with the atheist’s irreverence towards the leader of the Catholic world, the Pope finally snaps at him,

“Arguing with you is impossible!” the pontiff proclaims. “You cannot speak of God in such a way. You look for the Lord like a blind man, in a dark room, looking for a black cat that isn’t even there!”

The atheist is silent for a moment, but then says: “We are not so dissimilar. You are also a blind man, in a dark room, looking for a black cat, that isn’t even there. The difference is that you claim to have found it.”

They are giving the poor dog ergotism.

Witches cakes are ok but I’d stay away from the poop biscuits!

If Vlad was vegan, I’m sure everyone around him would have known.

Vlad the vegetarian eh. Well he was cruel to plants see.

Vlad…impales by comparison.

Oct. 31, 1999

Yachtsman Jesse Martin returns to Melbourne after 11 months of circumnavigating the world, solo, non-stop and unassisted.

and the dog would die of ergot poisoning, thus proving the person to be a witch???

So Vlad was credited with coiniing the proverb “You can’t get blood from a turnip”?

Vlad Tepe may have been a vegan, but he was still a bloodthirsty fiend who loved to torture people so they died VERY slowly. Impaling heads on poles was one of the nicest things he did.

There are about 6,000 species of mammals including 1400 species of bats. Insects make up 70% of animal species. It may be that bats are so successful as mammals because they can fly, they eat a lot of insects, the most prevalent animals, and because they can drink your blood!

Yuck! Poor dog!

How did they collect the suspected witches urine? If they stole the victim’s chamber pot, then they are fouler than the witch they claim she be!

When Tepes was but a little Vlad, his mom was pleased that he ate all his vegetables like a good little Carpathian but was taken aback by his lack of interest in eating the meat. They say he drove her batty.

I didn’t know that Andy Capps wife, Flo, was a witch hunter/gourmet chef. That explained why the dog refused to eat it so then she tried to serve it to Andy, who took one whiff of it and bolted to his favorite pub.

I do not drink….wine. Hey,blood technically isn’t meat

represent?? what’s with that

Could Dracula have been a blood drinking vegan?

Normally I’d post my poem itself, but since it’s long, here’s a link: httPs://deckaRdcanine.drEamwidth.oRg/

But she owns a black cat and her dog eats the “treats” out of the litter box…

vegetarian huh? so he really was evil!

Great panel of historical facts!! Particularly the Vlad the Impaler inclusion!! Wow!

Peepuls feeding p!ss cakes to doggies is very bad peepuls.

Vlad Dracul is a hero in Romania, those who were impaled in front of his castle were Muslims during the time the Ottoman empire was pushing to get a foot hold in Wallachia.
