Can you imagine 40,000 of them lining the road to Targoviste? ::shudder:: ---

I hope Vlad the Impaler never meets the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man from _Ghostbusters_. ☹ ---

James Lileks had a Vlad the Impaler joke about gingerbread men on sticks in one of his Gallery of Regrettable Food pieces. > [@](#): > > Can you imagine 40,000 of them lining the road to Targoviste? > > ::shudder:: The problem is that the first one’s completely burned out long before you finish setting up the last one. My favorite Vlad the Impaler joke is the Impala that has the vanity license plate “VLAD” ---

40,000 Stay Puft Marshmallow Mans lining the road to Targoviste? Would that be a horrible sight or a perversely funny one? Lots of happy crows. I just like saying Targoviste! ---

> [@CalMeacham](#): > > My favorite Vlad the Impaler joke is the Impala that has the vanity license plate “VLAD” Then there was the electric utility truck with the cherry-picker bucket on the back and a bumper sticker that said “ICHABOD”. (Yes, I really saw that.) (ETA: BTW, do we have a whole generation or several of young-uns who don’t know that there was a car called “Impala”?) ---

> [@Miller](#): > > [“Was?”](http://www.chevrolet.com/cars/impala-full-size-car) No shit! I didn’t even realize the Impala was still a thing. I thought it was a creature of the 1960’s. Does that make me a young-un then? ---

My father had a '75 Impala. It was a cabin cruiser on wheels! It got 1.68 MPG! The gas tank was the size of an Olympic swimming pool! The trunk could hold the entire cast of The Sopranos (whacked, of course) _and_ their luggage! And if I had ever “borrowed” it, I would have ended up on the road to Targoviste!
