Many and varied are the twisty and strange paths down which Cthulhu’s tentacles wind, to fondle our dreams and turn them to starkest guilt-inducing nightmare. Behold the nine-limbed offspring of an unhallowed union between the many-tentacled one and a wandering, and apparently beer-goggled, Octopus vulgaris.

Remember, if a starfish has a coyote morning, iz not so bad ackshuly. Pity the octopussy chosen by Great Cthulhu.

Proof the Recession is Real

Everyone is talking about this Recession, saying that all the numbers are in and it’s a sure thing. Yet, I see no breadlines, hear no word of Wall Street defenestrations (must! pray! harder!). But today proof has emerged that the dreaded Recession, with its associated Stagflation (which sounds like a half-boner at a Bachelor Party) and other related, undead terms rising from the grave of the Seventies, has returned to haunt us like the ghost of Sonny Bono.

What dismal form has this proof taken? Nothing less than a video showing that the noxious poison of the economic downturn has the very GODS in its gory paws.

Cthulhu layoffs.

Relativity and Seafood: An Update

That's just the steam escaping

If Einstein taught us anything, my friends, it’s that perspective is reality. Now, we’ve looked at the issue of perspective and seafood before on the ol’ raincoaster blog. Lately the meme has spread, yea even unto the highest reaches of Automattic, where Matt has examined the eternal question from the Anuran point of view.

With the passage of time often comes new angles, new viewpoints, new horizons, and raincoaster herself is not exempt from the machinations and wearings of temporal transit. Indeed, from my new vantage point as a parenting blogger, I find myself shunning the simple, yet easy and cheap, cartoons of yesteryear and engaging more authentically with photographs, as they are more accurate, indeed almost narcissistically so, representations of the real world and thus, more relevant to my more introspective, navel-gazey daily life now. No more cheap jokes with line-drawn crustaceans! No, our new standard demands more; it demands typical scenes that could be taken from my very life!

Baby Lobster, and doesn\'t she look pleased?

The LOL of Cthulhu

I mean, what IS that? Those bottom ones look like emo piranhas posing for the poster for Silence of the Lambs. As for the top one, it looks like the guy who semi-stalked me my first year at UBC.

The frondy first fish actually looks to be some sort of sculpin, otherwise known by the Inuit, who know an ugly fish when they see one, as the Ugly Fish. They are very no-nonsense, these Innu. But it is not this kind of sculpin, which is 7% alcohol. Even fish can’t drink that much.

Strangely, neither of these species made the list of Ten Ugliest Fish.
