Origins of Werewolves

This Wordpress blog does a nice job of summarizing common werewolf lore and sensationalized werewolf myth:  http://chasness.wordpress.com/2008/10/07/whered-he-come-from-the-wolf-man/

But the truth is much more Darwinian.  It involves fact and logic.  And our genesis, that of weredogs, is lashed to that of werewolves like the mast to the sail.  

Werewolves say they don't like the attention. But, that is not true. They thrive on it.  Fear is their beer.  They drink of it to get drunk.  They do not need to kill to survive.  Any werewolf could pull into any Gates Bar-B-Q (as do both werewolves and weredogs, often) to eat and live.  (Of course, that Gates would have to close up for the day at that point.  They'd be out of meat.)  They kill for the pleasure, to see their victims eyes, to hear their screams and pleas, just before and as they are killing them.

Our mutual history has to do with an animal now referred to as "Aelurodon," which scientists think has been extinct for thousands of years.  Think again.

Just watched one of my favorite movies, A Boy And His Dog.  Not exactly a feel good movie.  But, a classic.  

Wait.  Someone is moving around upstairs.  Damn.  I have to shift, change back to dog form.  That is fine.  I sleep better as a dog.  Human physiology is not meant for sleep, not really.  But, I have so much e-mail to catch-up on, investments to make decisions about, irish setters to visit.  

Warin left a voicemail for me saying we need to talk.  Not tonight.  Have to be tomorrow, or Saturday.  

I drank 2 of Jack's beers. Hope he doesn't notice.  

Fresh meat.
