There is a debate going on between me and Foxy and Drew and Opus, Would you rather be a Werewolf or a Vampire? And why? Obviously you'd probably rather shoot a werewolf or vampire if you saw one, and i totally respect that, but if you had to choose... |
Wouldn't be half as bad as the "Dumb wife cooked with garlic -- AGAIN! Should I eject?" threads from the vampires. 
|
Yea, I like Italian food to much. Werewolf for me

Lot's of blonde vampires, check out the movie Underworld. |

A note: The whole "I turn into a werewolf on the full moon and don't have any control over myself or remember what I did" thing is a convention of the 20th century. In most folklore about werewolves, going back hundreds of years, the transition from wolf to man was done WILLINGLY and they were in full control of themselves; the reason for the transformation wasn't because they got bit by a werewolf, but because they either deliberately engaged in a magic ritual to become a werewolf to gain power or because they were so savage and beastial that they just naturally became one. The association with the full moon isn't that they automatically transform to a wolf whether they want to or not, it's simply that their powers are far greater during the full moon than any other time of the month. Also, the whole "silver bullets kill werewolves" thing is a horrible 20th century confusion over old folk tales stating that werewolves can be killed by quicksilver, otherwise known as mercury. Of course, since mercury will kill normal people too, that's not a good test to determine if someone is a werewolf. And since mercury is also liquid at room temperature, they make pretty poor bullets. |

I voted vampire, assuming we're talking something like "Underworld" or "Blade" vampires, or hell, even "Interview with The Vampire" vampires. The type that go out and hunt. But if it's like "Nosferatu" or something where you stay in a castle up in the mountains and periodically terrorize a small village of farmers... Eh, keep that mess. Actually, even then I'd probably still go with vampire. You're a vampire ever night, but you're only a werewolf every full moon. _MaH |
Fuck, i wouldn't mind her biting me

You guys are so lame. Werewolves are so much cooler! You are completely in control of yourself as a werewolf- especially if your using underworld as a reference. The chicks aren't hairy in human form anyway, and it's all about giving in to your more animal instincts. Besides, Vampire are so jipped anyway, do you know how long the days are now? Who needs immortality when I can just age slowly and be a sexy beast! |
 Besides, in one of the Blade flicks the bad guy used heavy sunscreen and dark shades to get around that whole "no sun" thing. You could also go with the motorcycle appairal with helmat and tinted visor. |

It depends. Vamps are cool and have cool powers but they are also DEAD or undead. That means you probably would not be able to get it up anymore. Unless you had a stiffy when you got bit and rigamortis sets in. So I guess I would go with Werewolf so I could still chase the bitches like the dog I am. |
i think vamps have a good rap. i mean unlike werewolves they can blend in at evening events. that makes the thrill of the hunt more fun. i mean come one a wolf is gonna stalk their prey. which is pretty damn cool. but a vamp gets to get in and select their prey. entice them. i mean come on a single night at a decent club would be a buffet table for them. the wolf would have a terrible time keeping it low key. i think all in all. you couldn't go wrong either way really. |
Might be able to get chicks, but no nookie. But in the Anne Rice version of Vampires, sucking their blood is supposed to be better than sex. Gamble there. The drawback with a Vampire was the immortality, and not being able to really connect with anyone - loneliness at infinity. What's the lifespan of a Werewolf? |
Now here's a real werewolf video! Rammstein "Du Riechst So Gut" |
+1 I say vampire. |
Pretty sure werewolves just age slower- they aren't immortal though |
