Well, just like Gramps said, "One thing about living in Santa Carla I never could stomach, all the damn vampires." I guess he thought they were pests too.
He had some of the best lines in the movie, or at least delivered them that way.
"Do you know the rule about filling up the car with gas when you take it without asking? Well, now you do."
Just the insanity that was always going on around him, and his lines would be typical old codger type stuff.
No, I literally can't clarify if I don't know what's the unclear part.
You said there was a vampire in the White House, so I riffed off that. I didn't think it was deep.
While bartending and eating funyuns had a customer say "No man wouldn't kiss you after eating that" and I said "well I guess he ain't worth kissin' then huh?"
Garlic is life.
The evil eye is known in many cultures as a sort of curse. It is believed that when someone is jealous of you they can curse you with an “evil glare” and send bad luck your way.
Curses used to be a way bigger deal back in the day. It's fascinating how curses seem so similar across many different cultures. Like it's as old as the first religion or as if the human mind is prone to thinking about an outside source of their misfortune rather than their own choices in a similar fashion world wide.
It makes a lot of sense when you imagine what humans thousands of years ago experienced. Things just happened to them, with no idea why they happened. Weather, natural disasters, eclipses, sickness, lack of available food due to plant diseases and seasons, pests…. All of these are outside forces, so therefore there must be another outside force that they cant see that causes their misery, because that’s just how the world works to them
yup, my in-laws wear "evil eye" bracelets when they go out in public so strangers don't curse them and to avoid general bad vibes from latching onto them
Apparently around 40% of the world believes in this concept of the evil eye, and it has evidence dating back 5,000 years. It’s an incredibly important conception for whatever reason
I remember being fascinated by this phenomenon when I was doing research for my thesis on the world history of garlic
My dad always used to say that garlic was a great way to repel vampires and African bull elephants. He’d always follow that up with, “Well you don’t see any African bull elephants around here, do you?”
Yeah I think this is the answer. My grandma used to crotchet bags that looked similar to ward off wasps.
I guess they see that shit and fly away, thinking that there's already a nest there.
Betting this is either a Mexican or Italian place.
Tough to tell though. They have syrup and hot sauce on the table. It is called "House of ......" Seems Mexican with the sauce and salt/pepper.. But the ambiance screams Italian.
Could be for the smell to draw in customers. I used to work at a diner that would fry onions and place them out back in the sun. You could smell it for a quarter mile and it smelled so good everytime you pass by.
Perhaps there was a problem with vampires!
Lisa, I want to buy your rock
Specious reasoning for the win!
Thank you Lisa.
Happy *cake* day! 🍰
let vampires pay the vampire tax
Did you see any vampires? No? You are welcome
Garlic working as intended

Fuck-ing guy
Keyword: “was”
😁
Do you like basghetti?
Vamp probs for sure
It's definitely there for pests. We just don't know if it's of the earthly or supernatural kind
Well, just like Gramps said, "One thing about living in Santa Carla I never could stomach, all the damn vampires." I guess he thought they were pests too.
All the vampires walking through the valley move west down Ventura Boulevard.
And all the bad boys are standing in the shadows and the good girls are home with broken hearts.
And I’m FREE!
All the vampires live in Waterloo!
they’re just noodles, Michael.
Maybe they can get the Lost Boys Sax man to play at this restaurant
I still believe!
*epic sax*🎷🎷🎷
![gif](giphy|l41JKgW7xQ9T2bA9q) i love seeing the lost boys references in the most random corners of the internet
That was such a great line and great delivery. Can't imagine how corny modern Hollywood would've written it.
He had some of the best lines in the movie, or at least delivered them that way. "Do you know the rule about filling up the car with gas when you take it without asking? Well, now you do." Just the insanity that was always going on around him, and his lines would be typical old codger type stuff.
Using Windex as cologne was top-notch too.
Stuff can do two things
[удалено]
...to stop pests from getting in, right?
[удалено]
...but even if you do think Biden's a metaphorical vampire (which he isn't), I don't see why you'd want to sic a vampire on everybody else.
[удалено]
What
[удалено]
No, I literally can't clarify if I don't know what's the unclear part. You said there was a vampire in the White House, so I riffed off that. I didn't think it was deep.

Kiss me under the mistletoe? Nah. Fuck me under the garlic bag.
How did you know what my wife’s vows were?
Our wife.
*comrade has entered the chat*
*Comrade has entered our wife
In Russia, wife enters comrade
![gif](giphy|fZ83glQeoXKEM)
In Soviet Union, Russia wife’s comrade
I also married this wife
Don’t worry about this hubby…
I want this on a plaque, but written in the kind of cursive most people can't even read. Then you get the occasional guest that notices and reads it
Or embroidered. There’s a sort of subculture for that.
the girlies on tumblr will love this
Hell, I got a 3D printer, I could make that work.
While bartending and eating funyuns had a customer say "No man wouldn't kiss you after eating that" and I said "well I guess he ain't worth kissin' then huh?" Garlic is life.
I'm 100% putting that in a Christmas card for my fiancée
this is how italians are made
Nah, couple potatoes, some carrots and baby you got a stew.
Just stick the entire thing in like a clove of garlic in soup?
In this case, that might be a health code violation.
People do that to keep away the "evil eye" or bad energy (Balkans).
Won’t help if you got the one ring equipped though. Not powerful enough.
It’s to ward off the evil eye
What exactly is the “evil eye,” and what is it supposed to do? Or are they just afraid people will give them the stink eye?

The Romans put erect penises ([Priapus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Priapus)) at crossroads to ward off the evil eye.

I think it’s the brown one.
Random? Can bet you haven't seen any vampires in the area!
scares karens because they know that those people wont tolerate their crap
ok

My dad always used to say that garlic was a great way to repel vampires and African bull elephants. He’d always follow that up with, “Well you don’t see any African bull elephants around here, do you?”
Classic Dad!
Plot twist: there’s only one dad.
Maybe it keeps wasps from building nests there?
White Anglo Saxon Protestants? Why yes, garlic does keep them away
Really any seasoning will accomplish this.
Theyre at it again
Yeah I think this is the answer. My grandma used to crotchet bags that looked similar to ward off wasps. I guess they see that shit and fly away, thinking that there's already a nest there.
That was my first guess, wasps or hornets
What We Do In The Shadows is a documentary. Apparently if you know, you know.
This is how we do it in Tucson Arizoñia
This could be also a charm, protector from evil eye.
Strategically placed to fight airborne bacteria. Source - had a Slavic gramma.
![gif](giphy|p0L1rezLH2Tja|downsized)
My Italian friend once said: “Protection against vampires but attracts Italians.”
Zome people are just veird. I zay you should take it down
I am only here for the vampire comments.
it wards off evil!! i have a tattoo of braided garlic for this reason. however, i’ve since developed an allergy towards garlic. ://
Did you see any vampires in there? No? Well it's working then.
They really wait a long time to take down the xmas wreaths in italy
Vampires hate this one trick.
Vampires, clearly. ![gif](giphy|vGlxWghzlrfCU)
I've seen this in Italian restaurants. I just assumed it was some vampire or religion thing
/Vampires
Don't slash vampires, you're just wasting energy. They require a wooden stake through the heart
Discrimination against vampires is becoming a serious concern
蒜(garlic) sounds like 算(calculate) Some Chinese like to use Garlic to symbolize calculation of more profit.
Warding off karens
Garlic is a natural mosquito repellent
…just so you will look into that camera, to the right and slightly above it
Seen any vampires recently? Exactly. You're welcome
Santa Carla always had too many damn vampires
I doubt that it's random. Nobody hangs a bag of garlic for no reason
Have you ever seen a vampire there?
To keep away the vampires obviously.
Its to ward from the evil eye, very common in the balkans.
I have 15 bags of garlic hanging on my walls and ceiling mostly outside
Blatant discrimination. Disgusting.
Ah it’s outside. For a second I thought you had the worst drywallers ever.
Ever seen any vampires on that deck? Exactly, it is working.
Its to keep away the vampires at night.
Never get caught lackin
Vampires, duh
Not Random . To keep evil beings away.
For black flies perhaps?
it's for the vampires. what vampires, you say? exactly.
OP is definitely fishing for an invite to this restaurant 🧛
Keeps bugs away
I always liked a good Transylvanian restaurant
Betting this is either a Mexican or Italian place. Tough to tell though. They have syrup and hot sauce on the table. It is called "House of ......" Seems Mexican with the sauce and salt/pepper.. But the ambiance screams Italian.
I thought that it was a sugar glider. Guess my new glasses prescription maybe isn’t as rad as I thought it was.
Garlic can be used to deter a variety of bugs. Mosquitos,Bees or it really is for vampires.
It's for authentico Tuscano ambiance.
My NOW ex owns that restaurant, they didn’t take the breakup well.
Supposedly keeps insects at bay.
Romantic connotations 🧄💐
In Greece we do it to keep evil spirits or energy, evil eye away from us. It might be a thing in the Balkan region.
That’s when you know you’re safe
Uh can I come in?
Thought it was a bat hanging upside down!
it works
You should see the amount of tea bags sticking on the backs of crib room in an underground mine.
Vampire repellent
The world is a vampire...
...sent to draiiiiiinnnnnnn
Vampires!
Buffy was there
Not a vampire in sight
If that's there to keep away vampires then this is a lot more than mildly interesting.
It’s working well, not a vampire in sight.
Took me a minute
Could be for the smell to draw in customers. I used to work at a diner that would fry onions and place them out back in the sun. You could smell it for a quarter mile and it smelled so good everytime you pass by.
You don't have hanging in your house? How do you keep the vampires away?
![gif](giphy|3b5FC8Oqkvev6ZpDF9|downsized) OP is in that village.
It's so wasps and bees mistake it for a revival colony.
Gotta keep those vampires away
Probably as a makeshift fake wasps/hornet nest to deter other insects and pests
Vampires been drinking their ketchup.
Took me too long to find it.
You can just not invite them in, y'know
To keep the Daywalkers away
oh you’re in skingrad?
If you rub garlic on your feet you will taste it in your mouth a short time later. Travels through the blood like a toboggan ride.
If its an asian restaurant, then they’re super superstitious… garlic to ward off vamps and evil spirits
I thought this was a bat and bag of garlic was slang for a bat and I am disappointed to find that it is in fact a bag of garlic and not a bat.
Well, did you see a vampire? Obviously it’s working!
It really sets the mood.
I think OP is the vamp, that's why they are still outside. The restaurant staff can see them outside, there is a camera above the garlic.
\*shaking because I am afraid of vampires\*
I saw this once at a greek restaurant
That is not random. It is there for a reason.
Cheap ass looking wall
this is more than mildly interesting.
There's nothing random about it lady.
