what always creeps me out are references to “yogg sothoth” (sp?) in stephen king stories. i recall that it was grafittied on a wall in “needful things” and that it has made several other appearances as well (“low men in yellow coats” in “hearts in atlantis” maybe?). for some reason, that always makes me shiver. also, his references to the “plains of leng”. what the hell are these places, and why do they freak me out so much?
Leng also shows up in some H.P. Lovecraft, like ‘Into the Mouth of Madness’ and ‘Dream-Quest for Unknown Kadath’ (sp?)
If you’re interested in reading about it, I think ‘Dream Quest…’ deals with it quite a bit.
I really have no idea where the whole ‘Leng’ thing comes from…I got the impression that it was from Asian mythology?
Jim Morrison? I don’t know, Gunslinger as a sex symbol strikes me as more along the lines of the archetypical sexy cowboy. Or James Dean in a cowboy hat. Maybe it’s just me. Oh well. ::nudges zoggie out of the way so she can get closer to gunslinger:: On an off note, in the only pic on 3weasel of you in a hat that I can find, you’re wearing a green fedora.
In 1965, Tom Lehrer wrote a song called “Wernher von Braun.” The last few lines go like this:
I recently heard a story about his daughter which took place years after this song, before von Braun died. When she was being interviewed for admission to an Ivy League university, she mentioned that her father was beginning to learn Chinese.
Well, here I am all set to get out there and look up your… uh… profile and see the pics, and mayhaps find a link to this webpage of yours, and lo and behold the admins have disabled the members list… VVC, in an odd, “the world is out to stop me from seeing cute women today” kind of way…
Dumbo. Remember the scene where he gets drunk? Think that would’ve been allowed in it today? It’s the trippiest thing-he’s not just getting drunk, he’s practically dropping acid. That scene, I think it got to me when I was younger. I don’t know what I made of it when I was about three or four. Seriously, though…kind of disturbing in a hilarious way.
Oh. I found a pair of (Homer, have you been hanging around my kitchen lately?) bloody gloves yesterday morning. OK so they weren’t bloody; it was shoeshine polish. I got a pretty bad mental picture up there when I pictured it though.
I actually did part of my English homework today. It’s Sunday and I have another day off tomorrow.
Also dead flies. You always see them flying around, its so weird to see them just lying about. I saw one last night and went to go pick it up and give it a burial at sea, but when I bent down it flew away! I got freaked. It was just LYING there on the staircase…as if it didn’t care that people could easily step on it. (Suicidal flies?) And I waved my hand over it (albeit weakly) and it didn’t do anything. Am I making too much out of this?
This may come across as odd, but you wouldn’t happen to be a northern Cal person would you? I know a Ray who is active in Ren Faire, and it’s not a very common name out here (although it is mine as well… hehehe).
Wouldn’t that be VVC, if it turns out to be him? Or would it be sheer coincidence? And would he take offense at my virtual flirtyness?
