Sam Dracula count of Transylvania The
Munsters Herman and I are going to the

neighborly count Sam Dracula was born in
1367 he’s been married well over 100
times and he has his own laboratory in

roppa
well let him off though because he’s a
vampire
yeah what do you think to the old school
number seven Robert jebediah Freeman The

granddad you said the word 46 times
yesterday I come hush he’s a tough
taskmaster with his grandsons interests
at heart
there isn’t much that gets past this
granddad and there aren’t many problems
where corporal punishment isn’t the
answer I don’t have super hearing so I
don’t get why him he may have once sat
next to Rosa Parks but on this list

hands
now that gangster should I explain to
you in one easy lesson how the world
works
number six Tywin Lannister Game of
Thrones I am The King I will punish you
any man who must say I am the king is no
true king for this guy the family name
is everything merciless and controlling
Tywin almost single-handedly built up
the Lannister reputation and much of his
family is in awe of him for doing so
perhaps the puts family first will
always defeat the house that puts the
whims and wishes of its sons and
daughters first that being said the clan
is not problem-free he and his son
Tyrion really do not get along he’s poor
company when he’s sober but he’s better
at his work he’s the richest man in the

glue that holds this sticky family
together just about he’s not the he’s

over my foot with his car – to be fair
