| I was watching the news tonight and saw a feature about a woman who has dubbed herself, "The Chupacabra Lady." No, she's not a chupacabra, herself. Instead, she has dedicated her life to collecting evidence about the existence of the elusive goat sucker. But seriously, how cool is Chupacabra Lady for a nickname? I used to call myself the Queen of Sucktown whenever I'd get a rejection. If you're gonna suck you might as well be the Queen of suckers. But now, I think I need to come up with a new moniker. Okay, I totally forgot where I was going with this. So I'll close with the burning question you're all anticipating: Why hasn't anyone ever written about a were-chupacabra? ![]() ETA: Ask and you shall receive. |











Once upon a time, I worked at a feedstore here in Texas that served a primarily Spanish speaking clientele. anytime one of their critters dies unexpectedly, they blamed the chupacabra.
>>Why hasn't anyone ever written about a were-chupacabra?<<
Probably because sucking the blood of a goat isn't as sexy as sucking the blood of an alluring blonde.
Personally, I really want to see someone write about were-monkeys and were-dogs. Imagine, the hero seeking the heroine threatened, and he morphs into a....Chihuahua.
Yeah, sexy.
Does this have anything to do with the scandal of Jim Hines and I fitting were-jaguars into all the critiques we did at Gencon this past week?
And I'll let you all in on a lil secret... there may be some chupacabras coming up in my series.. shhhh!
Maybe there can be a gang war between the were-chupacabras and a roving pack of were-chihuahuas! Ultra violence on an ankle-biter scale.
There is a Chupacabra in the final bar scene of Happy Hour, not were though. Whether he was sipping goat juice from that martini glass now seems like a missed opportunity.
Travis, I've been hearing a lot more chupacabra talk here lately. I think it's because of the Big Foot hoax. Either way, I just like saying chupacabra.
Tom, but why would the were-chup have to be the hero? Make the hero a were-goat and have the were-chup the villain. That's conflict, my friend.
Anton, were-jags are so 2007.
Pike, set it at the donkey show and you've got yourself a winner.
Mark, "The name is Cabra, Chupacabra. I'll have a goat's blood martini: shaken, not stirred."
While watching a baseball game on TBS, I saw the same Bill Engvall commercial 30,000 times. The humor of that show was apparently the use of the word "chupacabra" as it was used roughly 34 times in a short spot. Few things convince me Sherman had the right idea than TBS original programming.
Just a quick note: we're all saying "Chupacabra" with the same tone and inflection as Jimmy Smits uttered "culebras" in that seminal film of Santa Ria spookiness, The Believers, right?
Just checking.
Whoa! There's urban fantasy about chupacabra out there? This I have got to read. But I would rather you wrote it Jaye, or one of the other reluctant adults. I'm afraid I'd have a minor chupacabra character for the laugh value. You know, the goat suckers aren't allowed in the vampire club sort of humor.
>>Why hasn't anyone ever written about a were-chupacabra?<<
Um, because I can't say "chupacabra" properly. I keep adding an R: chupracabra.
>>Does this have anything to do with the scandal of Jim Hines and I fitting were-jaguars into all the critiques we did at Gencon this past week?<<
Brilliant!
out of all the mythical, blood sucking creatures out there, the Chupacabra is almost certainly the sneakiest
