#1 Sniff, sniff, and to think it only took 20-plus years to officially discover it - Yoohoo, Perfesser, do I get the "A" now!? Think I'll celebrate by going to Subway and ordering two or three footlongs, plus same again later for dinner, plus maybe watch some naked babes at a local strip club, Clintonian Male Brute that I and all Men and Repubs are. Iff only America = Amerika would only adopt OWG and Socialism my cholesterol wouldn't be so high - the Motherly Chicoms can't exterminate 200Milyuhn-plus Fascist Amerikans fast enough to help save my Male Brute soul.

#2 Azathoth lives! Lovecraft rules! The Blind Idiot God harkens the return of the Elder Gods!

"That is not dead which can eternal lie,
"And with strange eons even death may die!"

The monstrous Cthulhu will soon rise from the seas...

#6 DarthVader - I have no doubt that there's some serious RPG hours logged in the past of many here (me included)...

#7 The monstrous Cthulhu will soon rise from the seas...

"That cult would never die until the stars came right again, and the secret priests would take Cthulhu from His tomb to revive His subjects and resume His rule of earth. The time would be easy to know, for then mankind would have become as the Great Old Ones; free and wild, and beyond good and evil, with laws and morals thrown aside and all men shouting and killing and reveling in joy. Then the liberated Old Ones would teach them new ways to shout and kill and revel and enjoy themselves, and all earth would flame with a holocaust of ecstasy and freedom."

#8 DV, one doesn't have to have logged some serious RPG hours to be an HPL fan and thus know of such things as mere mortals should never seek to know.

However, with that said, I myself confess to having logged some very serious RPG and wargaming hours over the last couple of millenia or so. In point of fact, I still run an email game online which has some very serious RPG aspects to it (Fire On The Suns or FOTS if anyone's interested).

#9 Well, you know what they say.

#12 When I read this article, I thought it sounded familiar. I used to watch the Kirk/Spock/McCoy/Scotty Star Trek program in the 1960's. I guess life eventually imitates art.

There was a episode called the Immunity Syndrome and, you guessed it. A giant space blob errrr; giant jellyfish; but you get the point.

As the old filksong goes,


Ia, Ia, Cthulhu.
Ia, Ia, Cthulhu.
Ia, Ia, Cthulhu,

Ia, Ia, Cthulhu.
Ia, Ia, Cthulhu.
Ia, Ia, Cthulhu,
and Azathoth.

Ia, Ia, Shub-Niggurath,
Ia, Ia, Shub-Niggurath.
Ia, Ia, Shub-Niggurath,
and Azathoth.

Ia, Ia, Shub-Niggurath,
Ia, Ia, Shub-Niggurath.
Ia, Ia, Shub-Niggurath,
and Azathoth.

Dagon! Dagon!
Dagon and Yig and Tsagothua,
