  He’s going to scare the kids, they’ll take his lift ticket away.

  Cool mom for even knowing Cthulhu

• [Donald Petersen]

  That’s a very cool mom, but I do fear we’re gonna start seeing eldritch crap coming out of the woodwork everywhere (’cause, y’know, that’s what eldritch crap does). Once they do a Lovecraft-themed episode of Glee, it’ll be all over.

  Great concept. But the tentacles need to be longer and fewer. In fact, you could probably take a green jester cap, wear it over your face and cut a few eyeholes for the proper effect. But you still gotta hand it to Mom.

  That is just so many kinds of awesome.

  Alright. Cthulhu is a little overdone, but that is great ALL up and down the town.

  PS-Been meaning to get this off my chest for a while, but Google Chrome, stop pretending that you don’t believe that Cthulhu is a word. And teleport.

  Last year’s hat was a Klein Bottle hat. Believe it’s all a plot to stay out of “the bad Home”…and working….

  I’d never trust anything not made in R’lyeh. I mean seriously what snowboarder wouldn’t.

  The pertinent question is: will he perceive this as homage or mockery? The answer would determine when you’re eaten.

  Hey Ian,

  You wouldn’t happen that have a manuscript copy of the Necronomicon on hand would you?
