From Fangs to Fortune: eBay's Unusual Nursing Home Listings

Move over Area 51; the latest scandal sucking the life out of the headlines involves vampires, nursing homes, and the world’s most unregulated online marketplace, eBay. Yes, you heard it here first: the undead community is up in arms after a rash of missing dentures, specifically custom fang-laden ones, has left them toothless and thirsting for answers.

Vampires Without Fangs: The Real Tragedy

For those unfamiliar with vampire biology, let’s sink our teeth into some undead anatomy. Unlike humans, vampires can’t just pop in for a dental implant or rely on “the tooth fairy” for new chompers. Once they lose their fangs, it’s all over for their blood-sucking career. The custom dentures aren’t just for vanity; they’re life-or-death tools of the trade. “Without my fangs, I’m just a sad, pale goth in a cardigan,” lamented one nursing home vampire who wished to remain anonymous.

“Blame the Teenagers!” Say the Elders

The nursing home’s vampire residents have their theories. Chief among them? Those “damn teenagers” with their loud music and flashy gadgets. “It’s always those TikTok hooligans! First, they stole my Walkman, and now they’re after my fangs,” grumbled Count Remington, a 310-year-old with a penchant for blaming rock music for everything from tooth decay to global warming.

Staff Denial: “They’re Just Old and Confused”

Meanwhile, nursing home staff dismiss the claims as the ravings of senile nightwalkers. “There’s no fang-theft conspiracy,” said Nurse Barbara, rolling her eyes. “These guys can barely keep track of their blood type, let alone their dentures.” However, Barbara could not explain why several identical fang dentures are now hot sellers on eBay under listings like “RARE VINTAGE Dracula Chic – Mint Condition!”

Government Plot? Or One Too Many Garlic Margaritas?

Not everyone is buying the teenage delinquent theory. Jed “Mad Dog” Harkness, a self-proclaimed expert in “government vampirology” and close friend to one of the affected vampires, believes this is all a federal conspiracy. “It’s the government, I tell ya! They’re sneakin’ in, stealin’ fangs, and tryin’ to force-feed vamps McDonald’s so they’ll lose their immortality and finally pay taxes!” When asked for proof, Harkness waved a crumpled McRib wrapper, calling it “Exhibit A.”

The Cops Shrug, But Van Helsing Won’t

Local police aren’t exactly prioritizing the case. “We have real crimes to solve,” said Officer Dan McGuffin, “like jaywalking and mailbox vandalism.” However, there’s one man who’s ready to step into action—if only he could step at all. Old Man Van Helsing, a retired vampire hunter confined to a wheelchair, has sworn to “finish the job” if he ever gets his hands on those fangless bloodsuckers. “They think I’m weak, but wait until Medicare approves my rocket-powered wheelchair,” he snarled.

The Aftermath

For now, the nursing home remains a hotbed of suspicion, resentment, and poorly aimed accusations. Vampires continue to gum their meals with all the ferocity of a teething toddler, while eBay sellers profit from a mysterious supply of authentic fang dentures. As the situation escalates, one thing is certain: in the world of nursing home vampires, there’s no such thing as a “toothless” scandal.
