As I face the last Monday in November – and all that might entail – pseudo-synchronius stirrings emanate from the Old Ones in the form of a couple of links sent by our pal Roldo to some new Cthulhu comics and an accidental stumble across writings by the oddly knowledgeable Old Castro who reminds us that…
“…when the stars have come right for the Great Old Ones, "some force from outside must serve to liberate their bodies. The spells that preserved Them intact likewise prevented them from making an initial move." At the proper time, the secret priests would take great Cthulhu from his tomb to revive His subjects and resume his rule of earth....Then mankind would have become as the Great Old Ones; free and wild and beyond good and evil, with laws and morals thrown aside and all men shouting and killing and revelling in joy. Then the liberated Old Ones would teach them new ways to shout and kill and revel and enjoy themselves, and all the earth would flame with a holocaust of ecstasy and freedom.”
I have to confess that “a holocaust of ecstasy and freedom” sounds infinitely more attractive that the dismal prognosis for Xmas 2009, shall we commence to chant? All together now…
"Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn.”
(I wish there was a widget to make the above flash on and off. That would be pretty nifty.)

Fhtagn, indeed.
Something called a "blink tag" will make that flash like nobody's bees-wax, but it may not work in Blogger™.
We don't take kindly to html around these parts...
'In his house at Ry'leh dead Cthulhu waits dreaming'. A good read is 'Haunter of the Ring' - Robert E Howard does Lovecraft. different approach, but good.
