Wait this is FOR REAL ???

What kind of vampires you got?
CoySwimmingKoi
Anyone notice it’s like a 6 month old baby as well lmao

I played in an abandoned mine near Mingus Mountain. Found bottles of chemicals, powdered magnesium, HC acid. Boom. Still have a scar.

Let's be real here. How many vampires exist in Arizona?
sparklefarkle
All of them or just the ones we know about? IDK.
Leithoa
Just don't kick the timbers or throw the old dynamite around & you'll be fine. After you take out the vampires, obviously.
Ch3mis7
That's what the dynamite is for, them old miners knew.
Leithoa
Ain't no replacement for displacement.
Isorikk
As an Arizona resident, the weird part is most people probably care about this issue more than getting better quality water.

I honestly wondered what Joe Hart, ex England goalkeeper, had to do with this
OveranalysisIsOneOfMySeventeenMajorFlaws
The bats kept slipping past him.

What, kinda like how the Texas Railroad Commissioner office has nothing to do with railroads?

I thought that this was silly until I googled it and saw that Arizona has 120 000 ABANDONED MINES! God damn AZ, you’ve been digging
Prinzka
Just send Dalton Wilcox in. He'll take care of those goddamn vampires!

Vote Trevor Belmont.
Theresmyothersock
Mines are considered a great job in Arizona. My dad worked for them growing up, but we rarely saw him bc he was graveyard shift.
Nick259
He
gmcsorley365
Its an old ad. They just replaced the word "play" with "work"
M1Silencer
AccountCreatedToUpvoteDogs
Not only did he look the part, but he is an engineer. I voted for him.
hatter13
but we need bats. very very much. (i'm in random)
MiniMegaOfParagonCity
"Bats don't belong in dangerous abandoned mines, children do!" - whackjob idiot who shouldn't have anything to do with mines.
ellyllon
The ex-England and Manchester City goalkeeper?
thatguyisreallydeep
Yeah... Ad's probably correct about him too
Shanghaidoll
I can confirm that no football goalkeeper has cleared out any vampire dens.
thatguyisreallydeep
I'm not sure about Helmuth Duckadam. From a region of Romania with some mines, and paused his career after suffering "a rare blood disorder"
Kahmael
Got my vote
Arkanbeast
One thing about Arizonian abandoned copper mines I never could stomach: All the damn vampires.
DrinkTeaOrDie
Don’t forget the miner ghosts! I understand they’re not a threat to our physical being but still a bit of a nuisance.

WELP Time for some 80s vampire movie goodness!

It's on Netflix right now. Or maybe Hulu...i forget which.

Maggots. You're eating maggots, Michael, how do they taste?
venomlash
It's just rice.

Apparently they are doing reboot of the Lost Boys on the CW. Not my first choice of a network but it might be alright.
NobodyWorthThinkingAbout
About as alright as the last Ghostbusters reboot.
sithney
ha. no it won’t.

It's why we hate all those immigrants, keep importing vampires

Thefirstargonaut
What show is this?
Phobetor42
I'll be honest and say I dont know for certain, but I'm pretty sure it's from True Blood.
CommunismIsJustARedHerring
It is from True Blood. Just rewatched the series a few weeks ago.
Thefirstargonaut
Thank you for your honesty!

Who is the greatest wrestler to hail from Arizona?
almostanon83
Shawn Michaels was actually born in Chandler, Arizona. But is billed from Texas.
AskMeQuestionsaboutStarWars
The Boogeyman is from AZ, and the Bella twins are billed from Scottsdale AZ.
shano510
...but why is a toddler asking to play in an abandoned copper mine? And why is mom acting like it WOULD be ok if only the bats were gone?
RedDwarfIV
because its a joke
PhilanthropicMisanthrope
Last I checked, there are no vampire bats in Arizona. I think they mean actual vampires.
usernamethatsstillavailable
But there aren't any vampire bats in the US... so it really is about vampires?
HoneNathan
Yet... https://www.popsci.com/vampire-bat-climate-change
DrYoloMcSwagmasterIIIEsq
There is no way that that ad actually implies bats. He's talking about vampires, 100%
Rutskarn
Yeah, the candidate confirmed he was talking about real vampires. He was a write-in candidate in an unopposed election, so jokey-jokes.
Maultasche
graehall
yaaaaass queen.

Rosie2003
So this ad is suggesting that it's ok for kids to play in abandoned mines?
CyborgScribe
Look, other than rabies from bats, rusted metal, gas pockets, cave ins, and heavy metal contamination it's perfectly safe.
Rutskarn
It's a joke, so that probably was intended to be part of it. Dude "running" was a write-in candidate against an unopposed frontrunner.
Rosie2003
Poe's Law strikes again
RedDwarfIV
i don't know if poes law covers people who take obvious jokes seriously.
BackslashMforwardslash
That's almost exactly what that law covers. It's not always obvious, especially online given the large number of actual crazy people posting
RedDwarfIV
My point is that the advert in the image was very clearly not serious, and there is no one actually running on that platform.
RedDwarfIV
Poe's Law works well on the Internet, where there are so many people that there will be at least some who believe anything.
AskMeQuestionsaboutStarWars
As a local Arizonian, I can confirm this position still exists. I have two abandoned mines that are a 10-minute walk away from my house.
AndrewCowbell
Is there a fucking robot set to down vote every fucking comment ?
saltymcgee
Are you in Globe?
FeartheMindKiller
Has anyone wrestled in them?

GorillaPowers
Have the vampires been cleaned out?
CoryBingo54
Can I come over? I wanna play in the mines.
ParryLost
That's a great location -- you must be grinding so much XP with your base so close to two dungeons!
ArdentSlacker
I think that's only a plus if the respawn time is within a certain range. Otherwise, that's like having two chairs and someone saying 1+
ArdentSlacker
2/2 your ass must be SO pampered. Like you can use both at the same time...
fruitspunchsam
I never know who to vote for
ChugMonkey2
Me and my friends found an abandoned mine with a cart lifter still functional. It was like a 50 foot drop into 300 feet of straight track
ChugMonkey2
So of course, we strapped a spotlight to that bitch, put on our helmets and gave it a test run. The minecart also had a built in e-brake
ChugMonkey2
system, which makes me think now that it was designed to be ridden in so the people towing it up could ride it back down quickly.
Pissedoffteencuzedge
Bro where at tho. Im in Tucson and closest one is a 30 min drive.
AwkwardTurtle2
Fellow Tusconian! If you figure it out let me know
TheHellbilly
So, are there vampires in them anymore?
faultysage
Nah, it's all necromancers now.
Genini
Sounds like Joe Hart is doing a damn fine job then
GermanSausageIsTheWurst
But vampires are neck-romancers.
StarkRG
Could someone explain why a public safety official is an elected position?
srt8driver425hp
It's a regulatory position. A hundred years ago Copper was THE big industry. An elected position protected the public from corruption
srt8driver425hp
So they wrote it into the constitution to keep it from becoming another crony position appointed after huge donations to the Governor.
StarkRG
I think you misspelled "bribes"
douglasmatthew100
Did your mom let you play in them?
TheBigBastard
Asking the real questions.
AskMeQuestionsaboutStarWars
Funnily enough, she actually did. It was a really cool place to hang out
maninthedarkness
Mines are cool places. It just helps if you also respect what can happen in them.
cargo305
Don't go in there with 11 Chinese boy scouts.
MadDrDrillBit
did she make you pick the copper for your own jumper cables?
TheBigBastard
Depending on your age I can probably relate. My parents really didn't care where I went as long as I made it home.
ilhares
Be home by sundown, don't kill anybody.
LoopStricken
Upside-down?
ZombieAstronaut
This thread just got way more interesting.
SomeCrazyNerd
That's what a vampire making his den would say...
specialkindofstupid
Also from AZ can confirm.
ImCommanderShepardandthisismyfavoritepostonthefrontpage
So you're a part of the vampire coven now?
theIdris
Can I come over and play in the mines?
Nikkiaz
As a fellow arizonan, where would one go to find one?
douglasmatthew100
Oh, I guess the mines for your town are like the old quarry for other towns, now that I think about that's just as dangerous
secondgoaround
Picher, OK has some fun areas to explore.
AskMeQuestionsaboutStarWars
Exactly what it was like. Horrifically dangerous but pretty cool
haquie
So I'm assuming a bunch of teens running around drunk and stoned
Fuckimgurcunts
I mean really, only the sides of a quarry are dangerous
douglasmatthew100
Yeah and it not the fall its the sudden stop that kills you
ZOMGNO
Our quarry got filled in with water. We jump off the cliffs into the pond. I've only seen a couple of major injuries
AwokenForest
Local arizonan here. We used to smoke pot in high school in the abandoned mine near one of my buddies house.
YureiBlank
Did Joe Hart clear the vampires out?
TemetNosce000
Joe Heart sounds like a fake name that a vampire would come up with
YureiBlank
Politician Joe Hart confirmed as vampire thrall. More at 11
