to think that vampires don't need to wear coats?

Vampires are undead. They have felt the icy touch of death. So why the hell would they need to wear coats?

I've just seen an advert for that twilight film and all the vampires are wearing coats! Why? Surely they don't need to?

DW says vampires can get cold because they retain a sense of touch, but surely because they've died a chilly breeze isn't really a concern anymore?

Jacob (twilight) cocks his leg.

Derek (teenwolf, drool) pee's like a manly man (sitting down with a book and a mug of coffee)

Which Vampire show/book says that Vampires only get erect just after they've fed?

Surely these modern emo vamps would have man bags for their keys and such?

I didn't think vampires had blood, or beating hearts so always wondered how they get erections.

SillyBeardyDaddyman · 07/11/2012 22:23

Viagra? Lolly sticks and string?

In answer to the erection issue, an understanding of anatomy helps and if you don't believe me read this news.softpedia.com/news/Dead-Men-Can-Really-Have-Erection-Sometimes-They-Ejaculate-too-77649.shtml men often have their biggest erection in the grave...honest

MrsDmitriTippensKrushnic · 07/11/2012 22:35

Vampires are ~magical supernatural creatures, therefore they get erections by ~magical supernatural means.

Moominsarescary · 07/11/2012 23:00

Well yes if they die in a certain position and stay that way, and the blood doesn't start to clot or seep out.

But if they don't have blood it's not going to pool into the penis, sooo does that mean vampires have blood after all.

Now I'm thinking about this far too much

Can you believe the actor playing Damon is 34? Ice lolly comment - lol

trikken · 07/11/2012 23:35

is he the same actor who played boone in lost?

Mathsdidi · 07/11/2012 23:44

MreDmitri I think it's Anita Blake books that say vampires can only get erections after they've fed.

I definitely think the sensible answers of blending in with us humans are correct about the coat issue.

I'm now off to ponder the ice lolly thing Grin

MrsDmitriTippensKrushnic · 07/11/2012 23:50

Yes, it is you're right Mathsdidi, and I'm very embarrassed not to have remembered as I'm actually sitting here with coffee in a Jean-Claude mug (he's not wearing a coat, in fact he's not wearing a great deal at all, mucky boy)

Ian Somerhalder = Damon Salvatore and also Boone-from-Lost

MrsDmitriTippensKrushnic · 07/11/2012 23:53

Jean-Claude picture that's on my mug

He definitely needs a coat for his keys, no pockets on those trousers at all! Shock

BalthierBunansa · 07/11/2012 23:56

Obviously some kind of fashion statement.

piprabbit · 08/11/2012 00:10

If they didn't wear coats, they might get mistaken for teenagers.

GsyPotatoPieEyed · 08/11/2012 00:22

I,ll never be able to eat a Nobbly Bobbly again without laughing now thanks to Honeydragon.

Paiviaso · 08/11/2012 09:07

I've always been most perplexed by the fact vampires can impregnate Confused Several vampire authors have the undead knocking people up.

I found Anne Rice's vampires more "realistic" as they were asexual!

Mrsjay · 08/11/2012 09:12

IT is cos they swish every vampire needs a swish about them Grin

HoneyDragon · 08/11/2012 09:50

I like that fact that being dead makes you mega sexy.

You never see a ugly vampire.

"he was a right munter, but now I want to jump his undead bones", features in no Vampire fiction.

KaraStarbuckThrace · 08/11/2012 09:54

What about Nosferatu, HoneyDragon, he was an ugly fucker.

Agree about swirly coats and vampires. Especially leather ones.

But not sparkly - that is not sexy.

HoneyDragon · 08/11/2012 09:59

Good point.

proper vampires are ugly fucks

New generation are a bunch of pubescent angsty posers.

Moominsarescary · 08/11/2012 10:08

Yes but there supposed to be very attractive to entice you!

Too much twilight

Someone obviously thought there was a gap in the market for cold willies!

BurnThisDiscoDown · 08/11/2012 10:19

Should add, I don't have one of these!Grin
