Strange things to associate with werewolves

OK, admit it; you think of werewolves whenever you see rubber duckies. You see a ducky, and you think instantly of Figarou's brown and white Gestalt form with gray ears hurling the things at you in full force. The Internet has spawned many strange images to all of us.

But, what else makes you think of werewolves?

I think of them with coconuts--again, thanks to this place.

They also pop to mind with certain trigger words. I really have a hard time keeping a straight face whenever people at work mention "coming to the end of a shift," or better yet, "shift change."

I've even found myself doing a variation of the 6 steps from Kevin Bacon game--that everyone knows someone who knows someone, who knows someone, who knows someone, who knows someone, who knows Kevin Bacon. In this variation, any topic can be tied in six steps somehow to werewolves.

Example: Battlestar Galactica--(1.) The new series, third season special effects animation is done by (2.) Timothy Albee, who is also involved in (3.) Freeborn, a forthcoming werewolf movie.

Another example: peanut butter--(1.) Invented by George Washington Carver, who (2.) is named after President George Washington, who (3.) crossed the Delaware, which is a famous example of crossing water, which (4.) in some very obscure legends, werewolves cannot or will not do.

Another example: Microsoft--(1.) supports tablet PCs, which (2.) rely on handwritten input that often times is garbled in translation, much like (3.) trying to talk in wolf or Gestalt form.

Heh...werewolves and rubber duckies. A combination that was meant to be.

I don't think of werewolves when I see rubber duckies. I just want to toss them at werewolves!!

Hmmm... Honestly, I can't really think of anything. Not even duckies.

My work (or rather, some of the people I work with) tend to make me think of werewolves. Three words: middle management cutlets.

my school is filled with them because they have a distinct scent and most of them are unaware of it espeacially the goths and emos

I never did before last year's trip, but I associate werewolves with A-Kon now. We all know who is to blame for that. *cough*ThePack*cough*

I have this odd idea in my head that wolves are tied to wind somehow. In the game Okami, one of the brush powers is calling forth the wind, Kouga the wolf demon from Inuyasha prodices mini-tornadoes when he runs fast enough, and I read something in a book once that said Native Americans believe that when a wolf howled it created fog, and if it kept howling it created wind.

Anyone feel a breeze?

Maybe it's just wolf breath.

Yup...wolf and wind. I've seen it in a couple of stories. The wolf in the children's story "Three little pigs" blew the houses down. (Except for the brick one)

Whenever I meet anyone who has the same name as a character from Freeborn, I can't help it. I get nervous around people named "Max" or "Tasha." Once met a nurse named "Donna." That was spooky. Would have been really weird if she started talking about giving report at shift change.

I have yet to suture any hand lacerations on anyone named Fay (though if I did, government privacy laws wouldn't let me talk about it.)

Definitely Duckys and Cocunut...thanks to this place.

...I know that has already been said, but that is really it for me so far, besides the basics...

The Moon...Silver...Monkshood (wolfsbane)...that sort of stuff.

The Moon an defiantly duckies

A certain song I listen to everyday for the last couple of years..Heh dunno, but I can't go a day without listening to it..NO LIE!!

Silverclaw · Post by **Silverclaw** » Sat Feb 24, 2007 6:49 pm

The DMV too

(used to be were Jack worked in an older version of the script btw)

Duckies, cocunuts, jagurundi's(sp?), llamas(especially ones with their skulls on the outside

) and Some god/myth names(ex, Set, Anubis, Fenrir...)

Were's and duckies, decidedly. Tired fingers and a sore a**, from writing the novel that is being considered now. Knowing more about the legends of Werewolves than I ever thought I needed to know.

And, a very special lady with odd green-gold eyes.... but she isn't a Werewolf. They don't exist. D a m n i t! ! ! !

hmmm several songs I've listened too..like bark at the moon,of wolf and man. the song mouth by bush.. are the obvious ones. I once thought "can't fight the moonlight" was one for the longest time. I see a pentagram [point ascending] hmmm.. strange ones though.. that's kind of tricky..

Definetly most things that involve the word shift. whether it be a working shift, shift change or driving and shifting gears.

Vuldari · Post by **Vuldari** » Sun Feb 25, 2007 2:39 am

The song "Dancing in the Moonlight".

Love that song.

It's really hard to listen to those lyrics and not think it screams "WEREWOLF!" all over the song.

Even a non-werewolfy friend of mine mentioned werewolves while listening to it.

"Everyone here is out of sight. They don't bark and they don't bite."

i think of werewolves whenever i hear the song We Intertwined by The Hush Sound. as far as i can tell, it has nuthin to do with werewolves, but for some reason, it reminds me of 'em. i dunno why.

Pretty much anything with "moon" or "lunar" or some other variant in its name. Duckies are more of an indirect link for me -- I think of how they are used in the script first, then I think of werewolves.

Anything that involves shape changing I also habitually compare to werewolves. Even the legends that I know should have absolutely nothing in common with werewolves besides the fact that they shape shift. Selkies, for example.

Whenever me and my mate are out and I see a duckie, I pick it up and my mates like "OK, lets go Figarou."

You're everywhere Fig!
