Miracle on 34th street

 There's this myth that your vote counts.
That every vote is counted honestly and accurately,
By unbiased people.
If I pasted in all the links it would take all night, 
and if I don't,
 I just look snarky.
Fucket.

Donald Trump Falsely Claims Michigan Cannot Certify Vote (boomlive.in)



If the fair and honest people do recounts from now until Jesus comes, it won't change the results.
But if some of those people are less than honest, hmm

And he's inviting the certification panel to Washington.
The whut?
I already knew about the electoral college but this "certification-thing" is new to me.

 Fire-alarms, smoke, gas leaks, burst pipes, and very loud noises could stall the recount, maybe forever.

I'm looking for a much more interesting myth, the one about Vampires (immigrant vampires) needing to sleep in a container with earth from their homeland.
This was before Fedex and Amazon (I wonder if Amazon sells earth from the motherland??)

OK first, the unreadable wiki article, if there is one (this might get edited several times, until I lose all interest)
*Feh*, (nothing about bed-dirt) List of vampire traits in folklore and fiction - Wikipedia or Count Dracula - Wikipedia which Does list bed-dirt.


My wonderings about how Dracula knew to drag dirt wherever he went, 
(and,
 what happened to the poor dirtless souls he turned into vampires,
 who didn't know about homeland soil?) do not make for a good pithy blog that you can feel good about at Thanksgiving (I wonder if "Lactaid" sells good egg-nog)
It really does sound like a Republican disease, Knowledge is power, etc,
But I've lost interest. I may come back to this filthy subject, but I doubt it.
Did Dracula use an army of undead slaves for Laundry and dry-cleaning, or was it magical?
Since Dracula was dead already, Black-plague and whatchamacallit diseases (Like Covid) would not have affected him.
You could hang for murder or make up a story about killing a vampire (The one who owns the mansion you just inherited)






Did Dracula spend the last half of his long life being snarky and superior?
Just wondering.
People arguably spend way more time on Fiction than they do real-life.
Why learn German when there is Klingon or Romulan?
But Vampires have transcended Sci-Fi and become full-blown sexy soap-Operas.
I swear a biggie part of vampire lore is directed at women, just like the Succubus from another planet might be for men. 
"Aliens" goes both ways, gore Plus womanly subjects ("you Bitch")

Do you suppose anyone anywhere invented Succubus Vampires?
Vampiric Succubuses...
O excuse me all to hell, 'succubae" (wtf)
That's the neighbor's sister in one of those cardboard-cutout-things.
But you've never heard of cardboard cutout-things, they died in the mid-last century.
o, trendy (lol)

The most popular monster post-vampire, post-succubus, post-alien,
is the man-eating Zombie (there, I have spoken, bow down)
Possessed cursed damned souls wreaking their revenge on a destroyed world.
"Recount...Recount...Brains (uh, I mean) Recount"
