i just have to say this story is an oldie but a goodie. it makes me laugh hysterically and i just reread it AGAIN! you are inhaler-worthy! *coughs from asthma attack and wipes tears from LOL while breathing impaired*

your ideas of vampires gagging and rotting rhinos combined with eric's body language made this tidbit very tasty indeed. this always reminds me of my friend's husband who DETESTS tuna smell on their son's breath and even gags as he flinches away. the toddler just cannot understand why daddy acted so bizarro with his face scrinched up in repulsion in response to being offered a bite of sammich! this real life event still cracks me up years later.

thus, i fully appreciate your visual having seen a human male do this already...i can only imagine the combined aroma of tuna and funyuns- poor eric but well played sookie ;p

thanks for sharing this again.
