playgrounds of the Elder Gods

Cthulhu playground

Apparently, Cthulhu-themed playgrounds are all the rage in Japan recently. All I can think of to explain this phenomenon is that it’s a plan to precondition a generation of Japanese to happily enter the gaping maw of an enormous, tentacled being. An excellent strategy: most of the world is familiar with the convenience of having dinner delivered.

Cthulhu found!

Cthulhu

In Seattle.

Given the climate, it is obvious in hindsight that He would have chosen Cascadia to begin His invasion of the land. We have all had to grow gills to adapt to this environment, so for Great Cthulhu, mightiest of the Great Old Ones, it would have been mere child’s play to pick a garage for rent off Craigslist, do the Paypal conversion of R’lyehian bhkatii to Yankee greenbacks and email six month’s rent in advance, then move in under cover of darkness.

hat tip to Judy for passing on the eyewitness account and photographic proof.

quiz: what’s your theme

This one, which I stole from Metro, wouldn’t normally be weird enough. But when I took it, it gave me my actual theme, and that’s pretty weird. That is blogworthy.


Your Theme Song is Beautiful Day by U2


“Sky falls, you feel like

It’s a beautiful day

Don’t let it get away”

You see the beauty in life, especially in ordinary everyday moments.

And if you’re feeling down, even that seems a little beautiful too.
