[drac]

I guess I need to tell you all that i love Gorillas, hell i worship them! This place is perfect!

I have a huge tattoo of a silver back in the center of my chest even.
The model for the photo is Ndume. He is a male counterpart of Koko. I am sure most of you have heard of Koko.

Very cool Drac.. I take it from your name your a Dracula fan. Do you like anything with Vampires?

I'm a huge Vampire movie fan. I haven't seen them all, but I'm trying.

[drac]

Yeah, I love Vampires.
I have studied the folklore at length. I also have spent alot of time studying Vlad Dracul a.k.a. Vlad Tepes or Vlad The Impaler.
Interesting how Bram Stoker utilized this Romanian hero for the basis of Count Dracula.

I could go on for days about Vlad. He used unconventional methods, but he was a great Prince.

since i'm a classic horror movie fan, i have the german "nosferatu" silent film... along with all the bela legosi dracula movies...

i use to read up on ol' vlad basarab dracul as well. would love to go see that area of the world one of these years...

I have been to Prince Vlad Dracul's castle in Transylvannia.
Some body killed his dad and he swore revenge. Killed enemies and put their bodies on stakes for all his other enemies to see. They say there was "a forrest" of stakes with bodies on them. We saw the fields where this supposedly happened. There were pits where he would have enemies tossed in on spikes. He invited a bunch of his enemies to a treaty dinner. Then locked all the doors and windows from the outside and set is on fire. Mean dude.

[mrs bi-polar]

Yes he was definitely one of the most vicious of all vampires I would love to see that part of the country and the rest of the European/Italian vampire hang outs too....Germany has quite a few if I recall some old legends I read about...

[drac]

I have the classic Nosferatu film that they over dubbed with music from Type O negative which is one of my favorits bands.
