- that Cthulhu tee is $39!!! so it’s not going to be in my dresser drawers any time soon, alas.
- My friend Lorenzo is firmly of the opinion that the blow that did the most damage was the cry “It’s an old lady!”
- there was a third thing, but I can’t remember it and have only four minutes and thirty seconds left on this computer. But it was funny. Really
- Check the Cthulhu tag or read Archie’s blog to satiate your demented Cthulhu desires.

Zombie preparedness: the video

Sure, it’s a little late, but when it comes to zombie attack preparedness, better late than never. Also, are you prepared for December 5th? It’s Ninja Action Day. Don’t leave it to the last minute: lay in your ninja, zombie or pirate supplies now, according to your loyalties. If any. When zombies attack, it’s every tentacled being from beyond the star spaces for herself!
The First Suicide Bomber
From Wulffmorgenthaler, which I found via MasterCowfish and cross-posted to TeenyManolo as well, for lo, I am all about the one stop shopping lately!
(19 minutes left on the computer today!)
Harry Potter naked, coming soon to a theatre near you!
Provided you live in Manhattan, that is.
Yes, child star (ah, they grow up so fast, don’t they?) Daniel Radcliffe will be bringing his jailbaitalicious skyclad junk to Broadway. To be fair, his performance in Equus was by all accounts quite good, and North America has not yet had the opportunity to get our knickers (if any) in a twist about the fact that the role involves smoking, so it’s not as if this is simple pandering to a continent greedy for wizard-perving. It’s not as if we’ve been deprived, after all.
But raincoaster sources suspect something else. A different, more sordid explanation. We believe that the real reason behind the revival of a somewhat elderly yet not quite classic play is the simple fact that Daniel Radcliffe is an exhibitionistic, pervy sex maniac whose needs could not be met by his own nation of 60,776,238!
And this does indeed take us to our happy place. How much to stage this at The Centre?
