To the OP:

Did you vote for Cthulhu for president like so many of us were comtemplating?

Oh, my. If I actually believed in the Mythos, I’d never sleep again. And never go into a dark room. And never go swimming in the ocean. Ever.

[Cthuhlu Mythos](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cthulhu_Mythos)

There used to be a great Chick Tract parody based on the Cthuhlu mythos called “Who Will Be eaten First?” but I think Chick got the author to take it down from his website.

You know, you never think “1,000 young” is really all that many until they’re all over to visit and you’ve got teenage fiends all over the place, torturing the cat, throwing the good china, dripping acidic ichor all over the hardwood floors, eating the neighbors, and putting hoof-prints all over your walls…
