Another Supernatural Week Of Survival.
Another Supernatural Week Of Survival.

I’ll review the posts as per eush This Week In Survival — getting them 51.2% right and the post coloured links below, Hope that you will follow them and wade in where you can – or dare.

Thanks to everyone who keeps on keeping on here at SOS.

Fenrir Sightings:

–>> After a number of mysterious sightings reported by several survivors here on SOS including this one from VELANKO, he was back and growlier than ever…

–>> So how has FENRIR been howling? Click on his name to find out.

But did he ever divulge the secret of identifying and removing a WW mark? Survivors like WEREWOLF GIRL still  wanted to know but don’t hold your breath. Unless of course you have some anaerobic supernatural survival advantage, in which case by all means…

Seeking Nanna:

–>> LEAFPOOL in a deal with LILITH still seeking Nanna at at any price. The Friend of Man appears to be having her own situation with a powerful dim sum orb so any help is appreciated — more about that below. Will Velanko’s advice to Leafpool work?

Panthemonium Progress:

–>> REAPER, ICE, LILITH & Mr. MUTT all caught in the crossfire of the uprising gods. Did they succeed in finding an ornate and secure box? JANUS was doubtful but Lilith thought maybe a simple recalibration of the boxes matrix would work after she used it to trap an angel once.

Wade into the frey if you dare…

Black Ice Dragons

–>> Is this the cause of the Dragons Breath portals appearing in Siberia? ASSANJIN explains…

 

Dangerous Werewolf Diet Turning Hollywood Celebs Into Lycans

By 35 Comments

The Dog Days full moon always brings a record number of new lycans into packs around the world, but his year a dangerous new diet fad brings the new scary prospect of aging Hollywood celebs devoted to following the so-called werewolf diet wolfing out around the world.

Sources report that a strange new diet called the Werewolf Diet gaining popularity among older Hollywood celebs like Madonna and Demi Moore hoping to regain their youthful strength and vigour may actually be turning them into werewolves.

“Instead of eating normal food, on the full moon she starts drinking this stuff,” says Janice W.  former assistant to Madonna. “And then things start to get weird…”

According the website Moon Connection the drink in question is just juice and there’s no need to be alarmed but her former assistant is not so sure.

“Then how do you explain her change in behaviour? As the moon rises, she gets grumpier and grumpier until finally she just locks herself away.”

Lycanthropologists point out this is classic behaviour for a werewolf but according to one, Dr. Dominicus Van Buran, it’s still unclear if the drink is an effort to trigger a transformation or actually a desperate attempt to forestall one.

“If the drinks contain extract of lupin and/or colloidal silver this could actually be a diet designed to prevent an unwanted transformation,” states the Doctor. “However if it contains a lycanthroporous extracts directly from a living donor, it could indeed be a misguided attempt to become a werewolf.”

Until we know what exactly is in the drinks it’s impossible to know. Smart survivors will be on the lookout for celebrity werewolves this full moon.

3 Signs You Could Be Facing a Celebrity Werewolf

1. Big, Blingy Teeth And Nails

Celebrity werewolves allegedly prefer to avoid full wolf form so they can retain the expensive gemstones in their dental work and manicures. So if you are facing a blingy werewolf in wolf man form this full moon, it could be somebody famous.

However as ultimate transformation control is generally only an achievement of an experienced werewolf, this can result in a trail of gemstones left behind by a new werewolf celebrity so also keep your eyes open for a trail of diamonds.

2. Fashionable Full Moon Gear

While most werewolves prefer to save their human clothing and go au natural into the full moon, celebrity werewolves invest a lot of time and money into form-fitting transformation gear. So if you spot a werewolf wearing high-tech yoga pants, hold your laughter. At least long enough to snap a selfie with them.

3. Beware Their Lean and Rangy Look

Because celebrity werewolves go into their transformation so hungry, they are especially dangerous. The diet – or failed diet – that brought them to this point makes them even more dangerous than average, especially to their pets but also to anyone else they encounter. At this point you can’t count on a mere muffin to protect you. It’s going to take a juicy steak or a medium sized pet. If you don’t have either handy, asking for an autograph can buy you some time, but be prepared for a fight.

This Week in Survival – July 20

By 4 Comments

As the Dog Days reach a fevered peak things are getting supernaturally stormy everywhere, even here on the site. For starters, a league of Hall of Famers consisting of Mr. Mutt, Alex, Zyboragon and P5t5r all stop by in the same week. An ominous portent? Or auspicious augur? I don’t know yet but I do know this much, Mr. Mutt is acting strange, even for Mr. Mutt… Is it because somebody removed him from the Hall of Fame?  Who would do that? The Doctor…?

Another Supernatural Week Of Survival!

Fourth of July Brings the Dog Days

By 30 Comments

Survivors please take a moment to remember, the Fourth of July is not just about fireworks and fried chicken to celebrate the Declaration of American Independence and the start of summer vacay. As founding fathers of the USA John Adams and Thomas Jefferson knew very well when they chose this day, July 4 marks another very ancient and powerful occasion – the first day of the most dreaded days of the year, the dies caniculares, the days of the dog, the so-called, “Dog Days.”

Otherwise known as the Dog Star
Otherwise known as the Dog Star, Sirius rises with the sun

For roughly 40 days starting around July 4, Sirius, the so-called dog star, will rise in conjunction with our sun and exert its dogged influence over all of canine kind here on earth. From Rex your friendly canis lupis familiaris to your favorite fluffy muffin-loving, gut-rending genus lycaon aka: werewolf, all feel the pull of their star as the Dog Days begin.

While more experienced werewolves may try to sleep through the heat, new werewolves will often experience their first transformations during the Dog Days. In fact, more new werewolves will experience transformation in the next forty days than in the rest of the entire year. That’s counting both genetic expressions and unwanted werewolf-to-werewolf transmissions combined. Most won’t understand what is happening to them. These noobwolves will be very confused and angry, a mere whiff away from full moon fever at all times from now until the Dog Days end in mid-August.

Let me be clear, I’m NOT saying the founding fathers were werewolves. Just John Adams and Thomas Jefferson. Why else would they actually die on July 4? They felt and understood the power of the dog star rising more than anyone and pushed the signing of the Declaration of Independence to coincide with it in preparation for battle.

Thomas Jefferson

In fact during the height of the Dog Days of 1824 Thomas Jefferson himself, fighting the urge to transform, famously said, “We have the wolf by the ear and feel the danger of either holding or letting him loose.”

Some years later Jefferson learned to love his inner lycanthrope and began urging everyone in government to do the same, saying, “You and I, and Congress and Assemblies, Judges and Governors, shall ALL become wolves. It seems to be the law of our general nature.”

And as for John Adams? One of his many descendants of the same name plays drums in a band called Flock of Werewolves. Coincidence? I think not.

Be prepared. Treat everyday from now until August as a full moon alert and pay extra attention on July 15th when the full moon and the dog days coincide. Be a little careful playing fetch with Fido, stay cool and cut your lycanthrope and alleged lycanthrope friends a wide berth even if you’re a were-creature yourself. Especially if you’re a lycanthrope yourself. Then everybody can still be a-lican each other in the morning.

Cool as a Cyborg

By Leave a Comment

(SOS/ASAP/WTF) We can all agree that cyborgs and werewolves normally have very little in common, one being a hot-tempered lycomorph and the other a paragon of perfect reason.

But at the height of these dog days, in the wake of nasty solar flares, almost no other being can sympathize with a werewolf like your average cyborg.

(Except maybe zombies who experience a rapid acceleration of their already accelerated decay.)

Okay maybe they don’t exactly sympathize, after all they’re still cyborgs, but you get the idea. While werewolves struggle with the fury of fur, cyborgs in the city are crashing all around us these days, especially older models with obsolete cooling technology. You see them everywhere stalled in the shade with blank expressions, just waiting to be rebooted on a cooler day. Or roaming the stores, sucking up all the air conditioning in one location after another.

So if have a cyborg friend or a you are a cyborg, a reminder these days to wear your coolest clothes is in order. Like this cooling vest worn at the Beijing Olympics by cyborg competitors like this gold medalist in the hundred yard handsome. The vest circulates cooling fluid in a fun pattern that says, yeah I’m hot but I’m still cool…

Older model cooling vests have handy pockets for gel packs.

But if you don’t want to run the risk – or expense  of a handsome high-tech unit like the one above, older model vests feature hidden pockets for cooling gel packs.

Just put them in the freezer at night and slip them in your pocket before you go outside. Sure you look a bit like a Walmart greeter, but so? That’s an honorable job and besides, it’s better to be cool than to look cool.

But on that note, why bother with a special vest at all? Why not invent your own personal polar technology?

Like this super highttech cooling hat for instance:

Super high tech cooling cap

This hat uses the wonder of running H2O technology and the freezification potential of your own refrigerator to create a personal polar ice cap that is perfectly molded to the shape of your head. Simply soak and freeze the night before you need it.

But why stop at your cap? Why not soak and freeze your entire ensemble, from your tie to your undies? Okay, yeah, it’s a little hard to put it on. Sure, it loses some of its shape. But won’t it be worth it?**

Got any other tips or tricks to help us all survive the scorching days of  the dog? Thanks for sharing them and of course, thanks for keeping on.
