That is why one anti-vamp tactic was to scatter poppy seeds all over your pillow. The cursed vampire would be forced to count them all before he bit you. By that time it would be sunrise and he’d have to flee back to his coffin.
Let’s see, let’s flip a coin to see what we can do with Portland, OR today. Heads, we toss it into the Ocean… tails, we slide it into the ocean. Either way, we win!
One was from Portland, Maine. The other was from Boston, Massachusetts. I guess everyone in Portland, Oregon, can be glad that neither one of them was from Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania.
In at least one alternate Universe, Portland, OR is Boston, OR. Imagine the confusion – and the jokes. Imagine what happens when the Trailblazers play the Celtics.

A standard way to ward off a vampire is to spill a sack of grain in it’s path. While it stops to count every single kernel, make your escape.

So they should say that vampires are adders.
So what would Portland have been called if the coin toss had been different?
Take care and may God bless.

So “The Count” is a more authentic vampire than Christopher Lee, how ’bout that! ☺

I’d never heard of the vampire compulsion to count things.

Maybe the other name for the city was Starboardland.

Portland lost?

Portland’s original name was “Stumptown” due to all the trees that had to be cleared. The penny that was tossed is on display in city hall.
