can I whore it out or what?

Posted on by

I know what you want, baby. And you want Charo; I am here for you, bitch. We are all about YOU on the ol’ raincoaster blog, despite Gawker‘s attempts to claim we are all about the we me. Perish the thought!

So here’s one from the raincoaster archive (because Charo herself apparently pulled the post of her leading the Macarena on Fantasy Island that I wanted to post), but it bears repeating. Particularly when Chris is making up rules on the fly to ensure I will only return to Gawker after a 3 day commenter death. Gee, if only there were a hyperbolically egotistical parallel I could draw with that…

total information awareness large

Well that certainly didn’t last long, did it?

Thanks to a nameless Denton staffer who obviously seeks to flout his/her overlord’s will in all things, I have been reinstated as a Gawker commenter after a downtime of approximately…until I checked hotmail.

Next time follow the proper procedures, people.

TO DO: read Dracula.

Seriously, you have no idea how important!

Welcome, the curious and unbanned.

TIAWell it took them long enough.

On the other hand, it’s palpably quite a lot better for hits than NOT being banned, so I won’t complain too much. Yes, today Gawker, Defamer, Gridskipper, Consumerist, et al, al, in fact, of Nick Denton‘s bloggy empire, joined the illustrious ranks of … hell, what WAS the name of that fan board? Only Orlando Plus! that’s right, thanks to the editors of Gawker they now stand side by side with a defunct Orlando Bloom and Viggo Mortensen fansite.

They have banned me.

I should probably be hurt by being called “stunningly unfunny” by the people who write TO DO, blog pet cuteness stakes, and Unsolicited, who are, as you can see from their posts, experts on the subject, but strangely, I am not. (I do cop to the ubiquity, though. Yep, they so totally nailed me there. ETA comma abuse: they didn’t even mention comma abuse!)

And today, I am up a significant percentage in hits. To the Twin Hermiones (and Balk) I say thank you. And good-bye.

Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven
(will miss Defamer though; that’s gonna hurt!)

PS: Update here. Being unbanned is nowhere near as good as being banned, hitwise. I’ll try to make the best of it.

Cthristmas Ctharols for Cthulhu

Merry Cthristmas! 

The Carol of the Old Ones:

Performed by The Dagon Tabernacle Choir:
Rebecca Marcotte, Digby Dolmen, J.D. Titan, and Walter Forsythe.

SOPRANO (LEAD) VOCAL

Look to the sky, way up on high
There in the night stars are now right.
Eons have passed: now then at last
Prison walls break, Old Ones awake!
They will return: mankind will learn
New kinds of fear when they are here.
They will reclaim all in their name;
Hopes turn to black when they come back.
Ignorant fools, mankind now rules
Where they ruled then: it’s theirs again

Stars brightly burning, boiling and churning
Bode a returning season of doom

Scary scary scary scary solstice
Very very very scary solstice

Up from the sea, from underground
Down from the sky, they’re all around
They will return: mankind will learn
New kinds of fear when they are here

Look to the sky, way up on high
There in the night stars are now right.
Eons have passed: now then at last
Prison walls break, Old Ones awake!
Madness will reign, terror and pain
Woes without end where they extend.
Ignorant fools, mankind now rules
Where they ruled then: it’s theirs again

Stars brightly burning, boiling and churning
Bode a returning season of doom

Scary scary scary scary solstice
Very very very scary solstice

Up from the sea, from underground
Down from the sky, they’re all around.

Fear

Look to the sky, way up on high
There in the night stars now are right)

They will return

hinterland’s who’s who: raincoaster

Tagged!Like a roving orca, raincoaster has been tagged. Fortunately for the tagger, she had just eaten and wasn’t feeling particularly carnivorous, or she’d have gone all Shamu on his ass.

The chain lett- I mean “meme” is this: List six things about yourself that are weird (then tag six more people).

I know! I laughed and laughed.

Name six things about me that are NOT weird; that’s what I call a challenge.

Thing One About Me That Is Weird:
I still know the floorplan to Krak des Chevaliers, left over from my castle-obsessed phase when I was 12.

Thing Two About Me That Is Weird:
Twice I’ve been flown to another country by strangers who just liked what I wrote on the Internet and decided to buy me a ticket. Both times I met movie stars: Viggo Mortensen (three times, actually) and John Cleese.

Thing Three About Me That Is Weird:
I have a a collection of Christmas ghost stories that runs over a thousand pages.

Thing Four About Me That Is Weird And Here Is How Weird I Am, That It Only Occurs To Me Now:
I know Willy Pickton, the serial killer.

Thing Five About Me That Is Weird:
I can tell from the sound the seagulls make whether there is a bald eagle in the area. Seriously, I’m some kind of Downtown EastSide Grizzly Adams.

Thing Six About Me That Is Weird:
I can recite all of Jabberwocky as well as a large selection of other poetry and prose-poetry in English and several other languages, and do so at sound checks to intimidate the people who just say “test, test, one, two, three…”

It works, too.

Hmm, now who to pass this chain le- I mean MEME on to…
