Off the Mark by Mark Parisi for October 11, 2020

I thought that only applied to mirrors.

Stupid vampires act on impulse because they can never take a moment to reflect.

They don’t need to wear the above the waist clothes too during these meetings.

Whichever one of them suggested upgrading from telephone conference calls won’t be getting a raise this year.

I like video meetings. First you don’t have to show up early to get good chair (or one at all for some meetings. ), you can take your shoes off, the sounds of dogs barking or children crying in the background adds character to the meeting and you get an idea of how people decorate their homes.

OY!

Like a cat in Zoom meetings, a bat will inevitably make an appearance.

Cool, no Jane Jetson mask required!

I think all these explanations are making me batty.

As one commenter already mentioned, it’s the silver backing in mirrors that explains vampires’ failure to leave a reflection. Similarly, it’s the silver in nitrate film that explains why they don’t show up in FILM photography. Meaning there’s no reason they could not be seen in digital stills or video. (I made this mistake once in a joke not unlike Parisi’s and was called on it, so I felt compelled to pay it forward. Sorry, Mark.)

Technology FAIL!
