MythTickle by Justin Thompson for November 04, 2009

The yellow pages by candlelight The search could take all night But don’t be alarmed No one gets harmed Vampy will suck but won’t bite

The Vampire’s Lament is getting edgy. He’d rather be human? Look what happened to Nick Knight when he tried to regain his humanity (Forever Knight).

Incredible…a vampire who’s actually cuter as a bat.

Just be careful around basketball games.

Yeah Jo Jo, Bat Manu might be playing.

“Dysthymic”? I haven’t seen that word since I was diagnosed.

If Justin can’t draw a cute bat nobody can!

@ Steve Remembers - If you like the John McCrea poem you should track down the Herman Melville version, ‘Malvern Hill’. Written to commemerate one of the lesser known battles of the Civil War, published in 1866. I’ve always wondered if there was a connection to the McCrea poem, especially the last line in the Meville poem.

Thank you Dypak. I’ve heard of Malvern Hill, but not the poem. The “nature conquers all” theme is certainly there, and McCrea would have read Melville. (Heck, even I’ve read “Billy Bud” and tried to get into “Moby Dick!”)

I see you’re channeling Greebo…

I miss Buffy.
