Don;t forget lots and lots of garlic. It will not only protect you from werewolves - but make you very popular at the clinic in Switzerland and on the bus from Italy.

Maybe Larry Talbot will weigh in on this one.

Gypsy Malvera says

"Even a man who is pure in heart and says his prayers by night, may become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms. And the autumn moon is bright."

What happened to my query about noses in Switzerland?

All Swiss noses are red and runny from the cold... do you want surgery to get THAT? you can just go up to Canada for that -- much closer.

As for the fangs, well, a metal file will work, I suppose.

Now, becoming more hirsute, that's a challenge. Call the Hair Club for Men!!!

This is why I love Fodors - you all have such good imaginations. I really don't want to become a werewolf and have bad hairdays every day.

The folklore is enticing me and I think I have given up on the nose change in Switzerland. There are so many prospects of things to do in Europe it is hard to decide.

HOw fast plans can change. In a few days I have decided against the nose job, dumped a jerk boytoy and I am going to Switerland Italy and somewhere.

I'm dying to try Tuika Spygirl it should have a laxative effect would you think and I wont walk around in the dark after drinking it, you just never know what is lurking.

Surely, the best place for a first-timer to see werewolves must be Molvania: more hair - no teeth (or is that just their beauty queens?)

peeky, just checked back on this thread. An imaginitive turn this one took. I had no idea it was just for fun and typed all that serious stuff. :D I have to admit, you got me on this one... and I don't fall for 'em usually.

Ah, a brief flash of the old days!

Clifton, it is partly true just not the Extreme Makeover werewolf style. I pluck out wayward hairs as I am now, think how long it would be to get ready in the morning!
