Considering that neither, er, whatsisname nor any other god has ever
done anything at all in the age of the Universe, we expect to be safe
from madness and despair above the background level. Thanks for the
sentiment, however.

Didn't BP (or was it DP?) rain despair and destruction upon the Earth by
drilling habits and bring Cthulhu forth? I'm sure they were "sorry" for
that, but the Goths welcomed it as did Eric Cartman. Cthulhu is as much
reason for the season as anyone else.

Any Norse folks here?

Don't think the original followers of Christ were much into ham during Yule.

*sigh* It was primarily a joke; Cthulhu is supposedly the most evil being
in creation, according to the H. P. Lovecraft stories written about it.

I understand that you believe that to be true.
I also understand that you cannot prove it to anyone else.
So why is it important enough to demand that you rain on
Michelle's parade?

I'm aware of that and I regret that you took my reply seriously. As for
Lovecraft, he didn't know Dick Cheney, did he?

I got the impression that Davoud knows exactly who Whatshisname is
and therefore knows that one isn't supposed to say Whatshisname's
name...

The rest of you are asking for biiiiggg trouble!!

Sorry, but your satire was too good; your reply was exactly like what a
militant atheist would write.

He must have; Lovecraft could easily have crafted Cthulhu after him.

I've never been able to figure out how to pronounce it.

order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And
then he is so anxious about the future that he doesn't enjoy the present; the
result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as
if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived"
