Redditor Frostbite795 asked a Bar Mitzvah balloon twister for a Cthulhu, and the twister delivered.

Asked for a Cthulhu. Balloon guy at bar mitzvah delivers. (imgur.com)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

    The end is near. I hear a noise at the door, as of some immense slippery balloon lumbering against it.

    Is that the bar mitzvah boy with the balloon twister?  13 year-olds have really upped their game since I was that age.

    Can we like combine memes to make LOL Cthulhu or something?    Oh no, we need a …

    Cthulhu made from bananas.   

    That’s open sourced.  

    With a 3D printer pattern.

    And steampunk features.

    And an accompanying CC YA novel about it.

    Lord Cthulhu is not mocked.  When He rises, these guys are sushi…

    I’m tired of this Rich Kids of Instagram nonsense. Enough with the in-your-face excess already.
