Cthulhu calling

AztecCthulhu.gif

In his house at R'lyeh dead Cthulhu waits dreaming but if he can't get back to sleep he does the Dr. Gene Scott thing and takes Calls For Cthulhu. For Cultists who just can't wait for the end of everything, pretty much every night it is hard to get a good night's sleep. Comfort yourself with meaningless trinkets signaling your devotion to the Great Old Ones. Perhaps they will eat you first! For example, this Aztec Cthulhu calendar T-shirt should make a great ice-breaker when handing out pamphlets and any landscaping solution could usefully include a 200lb Cthulhu statue.*

Admit it. You've always wanted a giant Cthulhu statue. Now you can have it. Nethercraft's interpretation of H.P. Lovecraft's Great Old One is perfect for home or office, and makes a thoughtful gift... just imagine their faces! When placed in the front yard of your home, it also does a great job of deterring door-to-door solicitors, and, well, almost everyone else too.

Or just play some Cthulhu Atari to fritter away what seconds remain to you before you are swallowed by the chaos beyond reality. Unrelated and gratuitous video link: Pink T-shirts, why do they hate us?

* Which I may have linked in the past. But what avails us memory against the cyclopean horrors with which we are confronted?

"the Dr. Gene Scott thing"

Close, but no cigar.

Calls for Cthulhu is better than 99% of the talk radio presently on the air.

And 99% of television programming. Including the opening credits, this cost approximately thirty bucks to produce and most of that was for the Cthulhu puppet. Yet it is more entertaining and informative than all but a few shows on HBO.

Most excellent...

I rented Dagon tonight in fact. I know it is not supposed to be GREAT but I only got to see 1/2 of it a year ago and I revere Stuart Gordon..I have a collection of vhs old flicks that are based on HLP..mayhap a weekend of movies so I can recuperate.

With the new home secured I can not turn my 2 acres of woods in the Canadian Shield to a walking tour of Nyalathotepian dreamscapes.. I now need a Cthulhu statue for the end of the driveway.. To hades with corn mazes.. you could be eaten my the elder gods servants in MY maze..

That Cthulhu sun-wheel is rather neat it has to be said. I must get back to writing a short story tale or two. I have been coasting by writing 100 word tales for way the hell too long.
