Either way, it is quite conceivable that you’d go mad looking at it. (Some Japanese Dude via Japanator via I09)

It is, of course, Gadzookie’s cock some kind of anemone, all gnarled up after being pulled out of the water. The locals call it a “dickswim”…’nuff said.

By the way, you can read “The Whisperer in Darkness” here.

Oh, the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society (ye who made that excellent Call of Cthulhu silent film) are adapting this one too.

(link in case embed doesn’t work…)

Like Call of Cthulhu, it seems to shows its amateur roots, but I don’t expect to mind much. Whereas CoC went with a classic silent film look, here they’re trying for a little noir. Nifty. Lovecraft has been tough to adapt, at least for Hollywood. These low-budget efforts know their audience. I hope they do “Shadow Over Innsmouth” next.

Also scary, blue holes. Pathway straight to Cthulhu, if you ask me.

Putting words in his mouth is a tricky proposition, and I think it might be helpful to feel out the borders of good taste for the Constitution Center people. You know, a touchstone they could test against for appropriateness.

So, some six word phrases that shouldn’t be in the inaugural address:

• I will devour your filthy souls
• Damn, its brisk out here, people!
• Hopeity, bopeity, shmopeity, blah blah blah
• Wait, women can vote for president?
• You get a car…and you…
• I will grow a Lincoln beard
• Can I get a wave going?
• Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani, just kidding
• My new ranch in Crawford, Texas
• You get a bailout…and you…
• But first, hold hands and sing
• Ph’nglui mglw’nafh Obama R’lyeh wgah’nagl fhtagn
• Everyone, hold hands and concentrate…LIFT!!!
• Pass the plate, please, the deficit…
• I really am a Secret Muslim
• It really isn’t a great job
• Build, build, build my golden idol

Please suggest some more. And I will immediately ask Obama not to include them in his speech.
