> [@Colibri](#): > > I’m sure that Cthulhu is far more popular on this board than **Starving Artist.** 😉 Nobody has more time spent thinking about him, talking about him, and talking to him by board members than **SA**. Not Cthulhu, not Eric Cartman, not even Jesus. Judging by the number of monster-length threads centering around him, he dominates a lot of people’s lives. What is simple popularity compared to that? ---

We wouldn’t have all this Cthulhu talk if the liberals hadn’t wrecked the 1950s. This is some blasphemous and profane crap you all are slinging. ---

Since when does Jesus need to BUY liquor? He just takes a plastic cup and when He uses a public restroom, He just fills it up with water from the sink. Duh. ---

> [@mhendo](#): > > **Shodan** often acts like an asshole. His whole “Regards” schtick is little more than trolling. But i still believe he makes some valuable contributions to this board, and that he is open to reason and logic (on some issues, at least) in ways that the subject of this thread is not. You are obviously a generous marker. I think if **Shodan** doesn’t act like an asshole someone else is posting using his account. The whole “Regards” schtick is ridiculous on so many levels - it annoys other people, and who would bother to annoy other people, it makes him look childish, but maybe that’s his aim and it is utterly pointless, unless you are looking for a way to make people think less of you.
