In trade from my mirth I can only share this: Dr. Lovecraft’s The Call of Cthulhu. The same artist is apparently starting to work on Ghostbusters. Can’t wait.
The incessant buzzing gibbering voices suggesting madness and chaos…
Ah. Peace. Thank you a thousand times. Finally a way to drive them out with some good old new england fungus’n’seafood horror.
HPLHS christmas songs have been a holiday staple in my home for a couple of years now. They even inspired my teenage son to read some of his works.
Thanks for sharing the Christmas Rhapsody yesterday. I posted the link on my facebook, and it’s been spreading amongst my friends.
It’s beginning to look a lot like Mythmas
(sung to the tune of: “It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas”)
It’s beginning to look a lot like Mythmas,
Cold and clear and bright
Celebrating some ancient myths
With our kin and with our kiths
While we bask in the Yule log’s light
It’s beginning to look a lot like solstice,
Days keep getting short
Parties and warm drinks abound
While we wait for the turnaround
‘specially if you live way up North
But they keep saying,
“Keep the ‘Christ’ in Christmas”,
And that’s just really lame
‘cause if they knew any history,
Well, the only ‘christ’ there be
Is in the god-damned name!
Cthullu Solstice Carols! My favorite holiday tradition.
Carol of The Olde Ones
Look to the sky, way up on high
There in the night stars are now right.
Eons have passed: now then at last
Prison walls break, Old Ones awake!
They will return: mankind will learn
New kinds of fear when they are here.
They will reclaim all in their name;
Hopes turn to black when they come back.
Ignorant fools, mankind now rules
Where they ruled then: it’s theirs again
Stars brightly burning, boiling and churning
Bode a returning season of doom
Scary scary scary scary solstice
Very very very scary solstice/i>
My wife’s baby cousin loves that one. Watching him try to sing brings a smile to my face every time.
