Whoa! Nice slug!
I have been kept away from testy for a while, glad to be back, but sorry about the Fluffy One's problems.
And as for the rumors of my origins....
She came from Planet Claire
I knew she came from there
She drove a Plymouth Satellite
Faster than the speed of light...
You come home to find Great Cthulhu sitting in your living room, eating Doritos and watching MTV. What do you say?
a) Nothing, but gibber incoherently.
b) Nothing, and hope he'll go away.
c) Nothing, but occasionally cough and look at your watch until he gets the message.
d) Nothing, but...
"Nor is it to be thought that man is either the oldest or the last of earth's masters, or that the common bulk of life and substance walks alone. The Old Ones were, the Old Ones are, and the Old Ones shall be. Not in the spaces we know, but between them, they walk serene and primal...
I've always loved that Garand poster.
I got both of mine through the CMP. I got the first when they were only $250. At that time you were limited to one only, but they later changed that to one a year. The second rifle was a 'select grade' which they no longer offer. It's a real nice rifle...
Enfields are nice, but I have to say I'm a Garand gal. I've got two (WWII era and Korean War era) and if I'm not careful I could end up a bunch more. Very elegant and nice shooting rifles. I haven't been to the range in a while - got one very close to work but I prefer one closer to where I...
Really, you guys. As if I can't recognize the classics! I know references to Plan 9 From Outer Space when I hear them.
Anyway Jack, there's no need to be devastated by my reaction. I really don't want this to mushroom into something it's not and send shock waves into the rest of HTF...
It was Trinity and Beyond that I was refering to. I guess my pun, which my insanity created before Steve and Parker's little sullying, wasn't so much as 'awful' as 'totally stupid'. Oh well.
Hmmm...I'll pass on outcome #1 as I can't stand seafood. I'd pay a lot of money to see outcome #2, especially the belching part.
As for stargazing, there's no better place I've seen than at the Cerro Tololo observatory in Chile. It's situated some 7000-8000 feet in the Andes and gives the...
"Of the six men who never reached the ship, he thinks two perished of pure fright in that accursed instant. The Thing cannot be described - there is no language for such abysms of shrieking and immemorial lunacy, such eldritch contradictions of all matter, force, and cosmic order. A mountain...
I'm rather astonished by the culinary fantasies that the Big Guy seems to produce in some people.
Frankly, He tends to be very cranky when He wakes up and never had the best sense of humor in the first place. You start nibbling on a tentacle or two and you'll be lucky to find yourself...
The human mind cannot maintain sanity in the face of the Great Old Ones. Fortunately (well, maybe unfortunately depending on how you look at it) they brought images and carvings of themselves when they settled here.
Even these images can unsettle the sensitive, but if you dare you can look at...
