Warning: The following tips are not actually about avoiding vampires, but about avoiding the Toadys Toaster's notorious ability to toast the socks of unsuspecting travelers through time.
It's a classic move. If you can, always wear socks with holes big enough for the Toadys Toaster to get its tentacles on. Trust us, it's a real lifesaver.
It's always a good idea to carry a spare, especially if you're traveling through time to a period where socks are not exactly... abundant. You know, for emergencies.
We can't stress this one enough. If you see it in your travels, just... don't. Go the long way around. Take the scenic route. Anything but the Toadys Toaster.
