"They just don't make vampires the way they use to."
If that's all you got out of that thread, you missed the point.
@Bloo: Trucks are fantastic. And better than vampires. You know what else is cooler than vampires?
The Goddamn Batman.
But trucks are awesome, too. I had a picture book about trucks when I was 5, and it was the shit. It had these big-ass trucks that were going "VVRRRROOOOOOOOOOOM" which for a 5 year old is better than the boring old Bible (and still is, actually.)
Thing is, instead of people, they had bears operating the otherwise realistically portrayed machinery. It's kind of surreal, and makes you wonder what happened to create this strange alternate world where cartoon bears reign supreme.
Personally, I think the point where the timelines diverged is the tale of Goldilocks. At some point, the Baby Bear decided that he kind of liked Goldilocks.
This lead to Baby Bear, at age 17, impregnating several whores at the local brothel. Somehow, this created a hybrid embryo that was more bear than human. From there, the Bears had only to move and interbreed with humans, their mutant DNA somehow not allowing itself to be diluted.
After something like a thousand years, the Bears had out-bred the humans, and with their superior truck-driving skills, took over the world.
