The man was obviously mistaken about this particular peacock. If it really was a vampire in peacock form, it wouldn't have needed medical attention, or to be euthanized.

However, it does bring to light the fact that apparently, vampires are becoming sneakier than ever. *nod*

I hope he gets punished for this.

Perhaps, but don't you get a momenttary twitchy grin when you imagine a maniac screaming and swinging a peacock around by the neck?

You think a vampire would pick something more subtle, a peacock is not subtle creature. :p

I laughed, but that doesn't make it right.

Forget the vampire peacocks, it is those weregiraffes that we should really be concerned about.

Catastrophic pun failure :(

Catastrophic pun failure :(Aww *pats CD* I thought it was funny. And they scare me too.

Unless you are a vampire. Who would expect a vampire to be in peacock form? Now bat, bats are vampires failing to be subtle.

Damn. Next week we'll have a REVENANT peacock around!

Fucking moron. I hope someone stakes him and gives the same lame excuse.
Depending on where in Staten Island this was, it might have flown out from the zoo -- they wander there freely.

Gotta love PCP...

Let me guess-They didn't even properly dispose of the vampiric corpse after they euthanized it, right?

Typical.

Typical.You saying there's a pulped, drug-addled, featherless peacock vampire, struggeling to break out of a medical dumpster somewhere?

Man, I'd like to see that.

Yes. Geez. Doesn't ANY ONE know how you dispose of a vampire?

Strangely enough, I actually know the procedure for disposing of a vampire's body. I have NO idea why.

Poor peacock. :(

There's a procedure for disposing of a vampire's body? I wasn't aware that once they were actually dead they could be resurrected.

Ah, jeez.

I think you're supposed to disembowel them and stuff every orifice with garlic. It's not pretty work, but somebody has to do it.

You know, they should give police officers vampire training in light of this.

There's a procedure for disposing of a vampire's body?

Yeah, you stake it, cut off it's head, stuff it's mouth full of holy wafers, throw the head into running water, and then bury the body underneath a cross.

Seems like overkill.

Why don't you just bury it under a cross in a river, or surrounded by a moat? That is already overkill...

Hmm, I always thought a good staking would be sufficient.

That's what Hollywood will do to you - give you the wrong impression about how to kill vampires properly.

Hmm, I always thought a good staking would be sufficient.

Nope.

Also, I think you can also just stuff the head full of holy wafers and bury it separate from the body, I don't think you actually have to throw it into running water.

wow that horrible, i hope it comes back as a zombie....

Zombie peacock will be the new symbol of Christianity when Zombie Jesus returns to feast upon the brains of the unfaithful.

I bet the peacock was from Romania. They seem to have a bit of an infestation over there.

Romanian tradition described a myriad of ways of becoming a vampire. A person born with a caul, an extra nipple, a tail, or extra hair was doomed to become a vampire. The same fate applied to the seventh child in any family (presuming all of his or her previous siblings were of the same sex), someone born too early, and someone whose mother had encountered a black cat crossing her path. If a pregnant woman did not not eat salt or was looked upon by a vampire or a witch, her child would also become a vampire. So would a child born out of wedlock. Others who became vampires were those who died an unnatural death or before baptism. Finally, being bitten by a vampire could have the same result.

What exactly is "...extra hair..."?

Nope.

Stake, decapitation, holy wafer, burn the corpse also works. As does stake, decapitation. Or stake, burn the corpse. Or just burn the corpse.

No shit, Sherlock.

I'm just glad he stopped that flamboyant monster before someone really got hurt.

Moron of the year award goes to... drumroll please!

Man who kills peackock!

WHat the hell.. I think he shouldbe caught and locked away to keep him from hurting someone or something else. How could it be a vampire if its eating bread anyway? It wasn't attached to some poor persons's neck and sucking blood, it was munching on hamburger buns...

They can keep zombie sasquatch company; he been lonely.:fluffle:

Anyone that's ever heard a peacock scream knows that the only good peacock is a dead one.

It's one of the most unsettling sounds I've heard in nature, almost like a small child being strangled.

I'm sure the bird just drove the man crazy and deserved every blow it received.

Yes, because a VISITOR to a FAST FOOD RESTAURANT has to listen to something in it's parking lot as he's leaving for what, thirty seconds?

Didn't the guy just come up out of nowhere and start kicking the peacock's ass?

Sorry. It's just a thing I have against peacocks. I don't like Canada geese either, for what that's worth.

*eyes narrow suspiciously*

Where were you during the attack?

*adds you to the list of suspects*

Well the peacock needs to make itself seem tough somehow...What better than being mistaken for a vampire! Wait...anyway of this was during the day and the peacokc was a vampire shouldn't it have died anyway? Bloody uneducated fools who know nothing of vampires!

I didn't do it, nobody saw me do it, you can't prove anything.

I was there… it was terrible… those horrible things the poor peacock suffered… Myrmidonisia's hands were everywhere… *sobs in witness stand*

Damn. According to wiki, I'm a Vampire. And I wondered why that bloodless body was on my kitchen floor this morning...

So, peafowl don't have teeth, how can you tell if it's a vamp?

Yeah, you stake it, cut off it's head, stuff it's mouth full of holy wafers, throw the head into running water, and then bury the body underneath a cross.

Seems like overkill.actually overkill would be to leave the body out in the sun, then mix the ashes with minced garlic, then seal it in several jars of holy water, then bury those jars under a stream with a cross above it. have a priest consecrate the land, then run some fiber optic cables to constantly pump sunlight into the jars during the day.

So, peafowl don't have teeth, how can you tell if it's a vamp? if it moves in, makes you pay for everything, insists that it loves you but leaves the moment you have no money... then it's a vamp.

now how to tell if it's a Vampire... wait till it tries to suck your blood. of course, without teeth, it would have to peck you alot first...

... actually, unless the glass windows of the establishment is soundproof... you can easily hear it inside...

those things are LOUD!

Dosn't warrent a beating tho.

WTF?!?

...that poor peacock....

How do you get bitten by a house? :confused:

Just call demolition squid (http://www.weebls-stuff.com/toons/demolition+squid/) to end your house related troubles.

edit: As for the peacocks, send in Van Helsing and Blade. ;)

Dracula survived during the day just fine.

I'm friggin sick of you NSGers with your obvious pro-vampire agenda.
