The party that never goes anywhere and is prone to cannibalism is already there; we call 'em Republicans.

Thumbs up for wit, cthulu.

Many years ago, I wrote a song in honor of you:

"Cthulu" (Sung to the tune of "Maria&quot

Cthulu, I've just met a god named Cthulu!
And suddenly I know how horrible a god can be!
Cthulu, I've just seen a god named Cthulu!
And suddenly I find that I've been stricken blind
And never shall I see again!

Cthulu, say it soft and it's just like praying
Say it loud, and it's you that he's slaying.

Cthulu, I'll never stop screaming.... Cthulu!

Everytime I see it, my mental tongue gets tied and I sort of make a raspberry. Not because of the person, but the name.

But who knows how these Eldar Gods pronounce their names? Some of them don't even have mouths.

I think Lovecraft must have just hit random keys on his typewriter for most of them.

"Mix-yez-pittle-ick."

Apropos of which, I was really shocked when I learned a few years ago that Adventure comics, the staple of my youth (Saturn Girl, yum!) was written by a 14 year-old kid. Dang me, what a genius!
