Yeah, amusing replies are one thing, but going into threads where people talk about their pets dying and doing that shit is just Being A Jerk. ---

What then to do about this DreadCthulhu? How do we deal with the tentacled king? ---

**Dread Cthulhu** in darkness holds sway In R’lyeh, so says the old lay But if we refuse To worship, he’ll lose His power, and wither away. ---

Oh, and as to manifestations of the Tentacled One in SDMB threads, I agree with **Darkhold** and **Guinastasia**. ---

Just popping in to say that I read **don’t ask** ’s comment and **Squink** ’s _Jesus Christ Superstar_ reference, and now I can’t stop grinning. Bastards! 😃 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Baker \* > \*\*The above is a quote from **DreadCthulhu** in a thread I had last May. I’d accidentally run over two kittens and was literally sick over it. **DC** , with the sensitivity of a rhino, posted that lovely paragraph. Judging by some of **DC** ’s comments, I think he occasionally lives under a bridge. \*\* Dejavu!! Earlier in the year, I suggested that he shared certain traits with psychopaths (using that quote) - and a legion of Dopers piled on me for the comment. I’ve learned a lot since then, and will now just say he’s an idiotic motherfucking loser - and Santa will bring him a sweet little kitty cat. Who will promptly gouge his eyes out (wait…sorry! wrong thread.) ---

I must say, when our dog died, DC helped me make a wonderful Fluffy pate’… so he’s not ALL bad… ---

I’d like to see “darn thi’ like a ton o’ nutty” used more often around here, though. 🙂 **DC** just has to have this as his schtick. Waiting for him to turn up to do his thing in a thread is kinda like waiting for a rain storm to come in. It happens eventually. I still think of Cthulhu as “Wuffles”. Too, too cute. 🙂 ---

Have pity on him. All of the funny gimmicks were taken, so he got stuck with old Lovecraft jokes. ---

Aren’t there probably some Lovecraft forums out there specifically so people like DC can do their thing and be appreciated? Instead of, you know, here… _Back to my chrissie presents._ ---
