Off Topic to Mr Baboon

All right - I've been watching it (your animated icon) and now, I just have to ask: What the H E double hockey sticks is that thing suppose to be, and where did you find it?

Some sort of Illithid dragon? What? I have to know!

[Mr. Baboon]

Haha, it's Cthulhu - or at least, the icon that has come from the descriptions of Cthulhu from H.P. Lovecraft. Despite many people disliking his writing, I enjoy his stories... even if he's a bit long-winded sometimes. I just found the icon amusing, so I figured I'd use it as an Avatar, since I couldn't find anything suitable that amused me.

haha Jurivancer...that cracks me up...I have wondered about that goofy critter flopping around for a while as well.

[Jurivancer]

Heh, I like it, althought I always pictured Cthulu a little more ... viscous? intimidating? monstrous?

But I like comic representations of the big bad monsters sometimes as well. ;D

"That is not dead
Which can eternal lie
Yet with strange aeons
Even death may die"

Can someone guess where that "famous" quote from Lovecraft can be found aside fron (obviously) his books?

Ah...I used to have an old Iron Maiden tapestry of a darkened graveyard with Eddie rising up out of the ground under a full moon - the above quote was the epitaph on his gravestone....

And also, it was a lyric in a classic Metallica tune - from their Ride the Lightning album...which I now have stuck in head...a good thing to be sure!
