Shame on you all. Bloody nosferatus!

Great Oarlocks! I must have slept through Nosferatu Night.

If Caroline posted more I'm sure you'd all be tired of nosferatu.
 
Posted by Outdoor Miner on :
 
Look, it's just 'cos we're the kind of people who tell it like it is. Why say "nosferatu" when you mean "vampire"? And why say "vampire" when you mean "eat stake, bloodsucker"?

If you say it backwards does the Security Office disapeare into the 5th dimension for 90 days?
 
Posted by Outdoor Miner on :
 
It's worth a try.

Hey! [Mad]

Give me some warning before you try that, so I can be sure I'm taking a break at SHAKES.

?...as opposed to its usual disappearances?

Jillikers, Cobie-- should we revive the "word for the day" thread?

[sigh] I miss Italian Boy-- y'know, that boy who was Italian?

If we DO revive the word for the day thread, my next choice for featured word will be: "titmouse".
 
Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
 
I might actually change my ID to Cobalt Titmouse for a little while, following that day. You could be MLTITMOUSE!

I miss Rokk Steady. He was DREAMY.

<dreamy sigh>
 
Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
 
I think he was around recently, but I could be wrong. I could of course check the directory for his last post, but I'm far too lazy to do that right now.
 
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
 
Rokk Steady's last post was last June.
 
Posted by Kid Prime on :
 
You're fast, E.
 
Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
 
I guess that throws out the whole 'around recently' theory! [Big Grin] His posting has also gone in cycles though, so you never know when he might pop up!

Italian Boy, Rokk Steady...

All the guys who thought I was cute are gone!
 
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
 
Hmm... weren't they both on your short list of potential mates?

Could it be that someone on that list has been systematically eliminating the competition?
 
Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
 
[Eek!]

By the hoary horths of LardLad's underoos!

We might have an actual mystery on hand here at LW. I suspect foul play!
 
Posted by MLLASH on :
 
Who's killing my potential men?!?!?

And-- most vexing of all-- why hasn't EDE been killed yet?!?!?
 
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
 
Jeepers! Could I be... a suspect?
 
Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
 
Perhaps...its because...EDE is the Killer!!!
 
Posted by Star Boy on :
 
Perhaps EDE is... a butler!?!?!

And we all know what they do.
 
Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
 
It appears the last time certain people were seen with Eryk, they ended up being a cold nosferatu soon after!
 
Posted by MLLASH on :
 
Tittering titmice!
 
Posted by Kid Prime on :
 
Okay, so is this the first list of men or the second? I'm not sure if I should be worried or not, 'cause after all, I did come in second in that first poll ya know.

By just one vote!!!

Posted by legionadventureman on :
 
Sorry Cobie - might have been the spelling of "Shrek". Nosferatu was the name of a silent movie from the 1920's. There was an actor in it called Max Shreck - who played Orloff. Do you get me now?
 
Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
 
Not only do I get it, but I somehow feel there is a connection b/t Orloff and EDE's use of 'Great Orlocks'!

The world works in mysterious ways...the best of which usually involve sex with Julie Fitzpatrick!
 
Posted by Kid Prime on :
 
You didn't tell me y'all had sex!!!
 
Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
 
That what was so mysterious about it...I can hardly remember!
 
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
 
She had her mysterious way with you!

So, did we ever find out the truth behind this insidious plot? Has Eryk covered his tracks that well?

And suddenly...Kippers hasn't been seen in weeks either!
 
Posted by Faraway Lad on :
 
But as in all great detective plays, when you think you have uncovered the criminal mastermind, a clue turns up that says it cant be that person because……and you have to start again.


So on that logic EDE can not be the suspect.

Now, who could it be?
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
It's so funny
That we don't say nosferatu

It's so funny
That we don't say nosferatu

But it really doesn't matter to me
It's a non sequitir just the same
It's down to EDE now
He's a suspect in the game


Seriously, I have no idea what this thread is about, but that's par for the course.
 
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
 
I'm trying to remember what the heck I was referring to with "Great Orlocks"!

I know it was a really groovy cliquish in-joke at the time, but now I'm feeling left out of the clique that my former self belonged to!

Why, Farrah Lad, of course.

Once upon a time I used to play White Wolf's World of Darkness Games. One of the Vampire "classes" you can be is Nosferatu (though I've never played one).

My favorite character was a Nosferatu!

I had this longarse origin story about him being a pretty boy womanizer who was 'punished' by a Nosferatu who took his beauty, and his life, turning him into a hideous monster (who still fed off of other people, so that didn't change...).

The vampires in the game could learn three 'Disciplines' that made up their vampire powers (there were a dozen, but each 'Clan' was best at three). The Nosferatu were masters of Animalism (animal communication and control. 'Children of the Night! Shut up!'), Obfuscate (super-stealth, invisibility and the ability to appear as different people through quasi hypnosis) and Potence (superhuman strength). My character used his Obfuscate to appear as he did in life, but it was illusion, and cameras, mirrors, animals, etc. saw him as he truly was, all nasty and vaguely reptilian in appearance.

He ended up in charge of the art snob Toreador / Harpies (pretty much Lestat-like vampires / arbiters of social standing in vampire 'society,' such as it is) in a live-action game. Not the usual place you'd see a Nosferatu, at a black tie social, schmoozing with the beautiful people!
 
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
 
I was listening to an audio book (March Violets, by Phillip Kerr) and the lead character mentioned Nosferatu.

A haiku

Ah, Nosferatu!
You are truly bald and pale
You will not bite me.
 
Posted by Arm Fall Off Boy on :
 
This thread is not dead, and neither is the Nosferatu!
 
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
 
Nosferatu!
 
Posted by SharkLad on :
 
Noahferatu!
 
Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
 
I have a friend who always pronounces Nosferatu as "nos-FERR-a-too". It's a bit annoying.
 
Posted by Outdoor Miner on :
 
Could be worse.

Nosfurryatu, anyone?
 
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
 
Nose-for-a-tooth? Huh?
 
Posted by Kent on :
 
As opposed to eye for an eye?
 
Posted by Outdoor Miner on :
 
Given the topic, more like fang for a fang.
 
Posted by Kent on :
 
certainly has more bite to it.
 
Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
 
At the of end of Oktoberfest in Munich last week, I think I may have smelled a bit like a nosferatu.
 
Posted by Outdoor Miner on :
 
I was unaware that nosferatu smelled like a combo of cheap beer, sausages, and unwashed lederhosen.
 
Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
 
That's exactly what the smell like. Plus if the song "Take Me Country Home" by John Denver had a smell, it would also be part of that fragrance.
 
Posted by Kent on :
 
That's not the smell of nosferatu, that's the smell of Bauerntrottel.
 
Posted by future king on :
 
'Nosferatu' would make a great name for a chain of nail salons.
 
Posted by future king on :
 
The chain could be supervised by his un-dead cousin Uta Refson.
 
Posted by Fanfic Lady on :
 
Nosferatu.
 
Posted by Set on :
 
We need to say nosferatu more often! (I played one in three different games, one of which lasted two and a half years!)
 
Posted by Lard Lad on :
 
u fear snot

I can't take credit for it. The writers of Mystery Science Theater 3000 came up with it to describe a character on an old episode of General Hospital.

Not to be confused with Nurse Ferret, I guess...

No fair at use!
