For your reading pleasure, I present Charles Stross’ “A Boy and His God”: [http://www.antipope.org/charlie/fiction/boy3.html](http://www.antipope.org/charlie/fiction/boy3.html)

(Mods - this is Stross’ own website, and I assume he owns the right to post the story online).

> Cows are the recommended staple for your Sothoth, especially during the early developing stages. However, eventually it will want to move on to tastier game. Specifically to be resisted is the tempation to feed it someone who comes up to you on thes street handing out Chick tracts. They are likely to leave a sour taste in it’s stomach. But that punky teenage kid who’s got the ultra loud bass speakers in his car and is not above playing them at 3:00 in the morning? Mmmm … now there’s good eatin’.

FYI, Yog Sosoth is prone to hapless neighbor kids, sexy nubile women, and Cheez-Its.

Also, this is not a zombie thread for Yog Sosoth, for he is timeless.

Lastly, Yog Sosoth has changed his name slightly because he was finding it difficult to get work in Hollywood with such an ethnic spelling. Will also answer to Yog, Yoggy, or Duke

Snork! Thank you so much for resurrecting this. I needed a good belly laugh.
