I have never heard them and I sincerely hope I never will.
All I know is, when I look at a vampire, I always half-expect the first words out of their mouth to be "CRAWWWWWWLING IN MY SKINNNNNN! THESE WOUNDS, THEY WILL NOT HEEEEAAAALLLL!!"

Well, Jeff...they don't make them like Dracula anymore. That guy had little to NO weaknesses to speak of.
He could cross running water, walk out in the sun (but didn't have his vampiric powers), and had the full range of powers. THAT was a vampire.
These two-bit terrors nowadays are nothing.

And yet for all his power, he can't get a single movie where he isn't a limp-wristed drama queen. But then, that's probably more the fault of they way his contemporaries act...
Oh, except for Blade: Trinity. That was a respectable, masculine Dracula. Though...he was technically more Lovecraftian Dagon than Vlad Tepes. And his swordfight with Blade was weaksauce.

I think Dr. Chrismer is overgeneralizing to some extent. While as a ninja he, perhaps, has little to fear from an enraged Brujah utilizing enhanced superhuman strength and speed, or a feral shapeshifting Gangrel (a low enough generation can be as dangerous as any werewolf), anyone else would question his assertion that all vampires are "pussies" and "limp-wristed drama queen"s.
If they survived.
Heh. That came from an early case, around 1984. An...aquaintance who was interested in a career in dentistry made that remark, and I find myself restating it whenever the subject of zombies come up.

I like some Linkin Park songs. But for the sound, not the lyrics.
And I find that most of their fans literally are teenaged girls who somehow relate to those same super-angsty lyrics and think taking a razor blade to their arms and legs will somehow relieve them of emotional pain and stress. Which is just plain sociopathic.

Well I do see what you mean. And I agree with you to that extent. But in this case you've misinterpreted the lyrics. The song is about a paranoid schizophrenic who's loosing his mind and seeing things, hence "crawling in my skin". And the wounds that won't heal are the cuts that he gets from trying to scratch or cut the delusions out of his skin. I know it's easy for that to happen but if you don't listen to the lyrics then you won't get the "story". And yea, the people who cut themselves because they think they will relieve the pain are outta their minds.
Now... Getting back to zombies: When was the last major outbreak of zombies on the East Coast?

Hollywood has never done my family's nemesis any justice. Now... Getting back to zombies: When was the last major outbreak of zombies on the East Coast? September 28th, 1998; Raccoon City, Pennsylvania.

I dont know which is worse, the fact that it happened or the fact that Umbrella really didnt get any kind of ramifications for that event in perticular.

Huh...I didn't know Raccoon City was in PA. I don't know why, but I always pictured it being somewhere in the Rockies.

No, wait, I just described Britney Spears' fanbase.
Actually, they wouldn't be Class Threes at all. Zombies very rarely have actual souls inside their animated corpses... at least, when it comes to the kind brought around by biochemical hazards or something like that. I don't have much experience with the classical voodoo type zombie, so I can't say much about them with any degree of certainty.
As Class Threes are usually defined as conscious beings, disembodies spirits like me, that would mean zombies (which only have the barest spark of life inside them to motivate basic, instinctual motor functions) don't share the classification.[/glow]

Yeah, the classification system was designed for spirits alone. It doesn't apply to zombies, vampires, werewolves, etc.

I dont know which is worse, the fact that it happened or the fact that Umbrella really didnt get any kind of ramifications for that event in perticular. Oh, but they did, Mick...in spades. When the US got wind of what happened after Raccoon City was made a smoking hole in the earth, the US government placed a ban on them doing any business with the US and enforced this policy strictly. Allies followed suit, and Umbrellas stock hit rock bottom as investors liquidated their shares and Umbrella couldn't bring in a candy bar's worth of revenue. Umbrella died as a corporate entity. It's gone. No franchises....no stocks....no way to run anything. It's totally belly-up. I'd say that was just desserts...even if slightly indirect. Huh...I didn't know Raccoon City was in PA. I don't know why, but I always pictured it being somewhere in the Rockies. Indeed. It's nestled in the Appalachians, almost midway between Pittsburgh and Harrisburgh. Of course, you won't find it on a map anymore...because it no longer exists.
