Merry Cthristmas!

Carol of the Old Ones
lyrics over the jump

It’s that time of year again; the time when families gather together (no, not the reading of the will!) and share what it means to celebrate Cthristmas.

It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Fishmen
lyrics over the jump

We at the ol’ raincoaster blog have taken to this like Deep Ones to the ocean depths, decorating not one but four different Cthristmas trees. Which one do you like best?

Nyarlathotep, yo

The Azathoth tree

Chihuly Cthristmas tree

The Chihuly tree

Cthristmas Bonus!

The Squid tree

and the latest entry:

Cthulhu Tree

the Octophrost tree

Octophrost, in case you landlubbing types didn’t know, is the Santa of the Sea. Closely related to the Cascadian Tree Octopus, Octophrost brings all the good small fry of the ocean their presents, which he carries in a large ink sac.

Octophrost is made of snow and ice … instead of shooting out ink clouds to hide he shoots out a mini blizzard of snow, that he makes all the toys himself because he’s got eight arms, and other stuff like that.

Naturally. If Santa himself had eight arms, he’d get all that present-delivering crap over with in ten minutes, and the squalling little brats at the mall wouldn’t have a chance when they made a break for it.

Now let’s all sing some Cthristmas Carols!

quiz: how much electricity does your body produce?

Much to my shock, I find out I’m less electric than the average person! Gracious, there certainly must be something wrong with this quiz! Why, I’d have thought that my number of fillings alone would put me over the average, but nooooooo.

Are you electric? How many of YOU would it take to keep a refrigerator running? Click and find out:

How electric are YOU?

238 watts!

Your Body is Producing 238 Watts!

 

This is 5% LESS wattage than the average person

 

  • You could light up 2 light bulbs
  • You could power 60 iPods
  • You could power 1 Xbox 360
  • 4 of you would be needed to keep a refrigerator running

Sockthulhu!

Sockthulhu

his diet consists mostly of squirrels, chunky bars, and the souls of the damned

From Kadath in the Cold Waste (via Ecto) comes Sockthulhu! Loathesomely tattooed over his squamous hide with the polychromatic, crawling patterns of Nordic knitwear, Sockthulhu is invulnerable to the brutal winter conditions, utterly unafraid of Ithaqua the Windwalker, and completely machine-washable!
