I must say, I have never been attacked by a WereWolf while drinking Silver Bullets! And I've seen plenty of them during said times.  The Sky Pirate As someone who's been attacked by a lycanthrope (my life is apparently crazy 50% of the time), I'm going to venture a guess you don't want to be drinking at all during a werewolf attack.

Several modern detectives now claim that “Jack the Ripper” was actually named Carl.
“Carl the Ripper” just doesn’t have the same ring.

I was singing that song while I was overseas in the military when it first came out. I GET IT about a Werewolf drinking a pina colada at Trader Vic's. I Never said anything about a Werewolf drinking a Silver Bullet. I said, "I must say, I have never been attacked by a WereWolf while drinking Silver Bullets!", where the subject (the one drinking Silver Bullets, is "I". As opposed to what seems to have been interpreted as, "I must say, I have never been attacked by a WereWolf that was drinking Silver Bullets!" I was implying that if a human were to drink a Silver Bullet it would keep Werewolves away. Thus why I asked if something was lost in the translation. |

Nope, nothing was lost in translation. It was deliberately discarded.  |
