so long, and thanks for all the krill!

during this evening's entertainment:

a glorious specimen of ambergris & a rather mischievous petrolatum spirit were the guests

and the cetaceans were the hosts

(well, that's one way to explain it, anyway... there are many different perspectives, really)

i thought that i had remembered Sir David Attenborough (whose 80th birthday was recently co-hosted by Björk), during my "Life on Earth" biology class at ACC, mentioning that cetaceans (whales, dolphins and porpoises) seem to have descended from creatures that were somewhat like amphibious bears... but in fact, the closest living relatives of the ursidae family (bears & pandas) are the the pinnipeds (walruses, seals, and sea lions)... of whom, all are hunted for their musk and other body parts and secretions! and recent evidence suggests that cetaceans are more closely relted to the artiodactyls, like the modern hippopotamus...

*** "SPOILER" (if that is indeed what you can call my interpretations) WARNING ***

although i may have simply been laughing from sheer awe & horror, this film amused me... )

It is a strange dark orb at ye very rim of our solar system

Poll #542996 "...unknown to earthly astronomers as yet?"

Where is Yuggoth?

Pluto

None of the above

At ye proper time... ye beings there will direct thought-currents toward us and cause it to be discovered.

There is some confusion between Pluto and Yuggoth. They may be the same planet, Yuggoth may be Pluto's moon Charon, or it may be a ... trans-Pluto planet that hasn't been discovered by Earthly Astronomers.

Not that this will necessarily clear up any of the above confusion; but thanks to [info]stonemirror for the "heads up" about the new planet in the outlying regions of our solar system, discovered by NASA-Funded Scientists ...although the sigil in that post might attract their attention; so, for those of you who don't have an elder sign handy, you should definitely use the glyph that HPL scribbled in a November 7, 1930 letter to Clark Ashton Smith... here's a version of that symbol that was created by S-P-O-N-G-E, an organization dedicated to exposing and uprooting the unspeakable horrors that exist on the fringes of our awareness:



What's so special about Yuggoth, you ask? )

OK, I couldn't resist...

i thought that i could avert the insanity of quiz posting, but alas... i have been infected ...thank you circusavatar

When I took this test originally on 032903...



I was Hastur!


The Unspeakable One is the master of those who seek to unveil the mysteries of death. It is through meditation upon the Yellow Sign that the devotee of Hastur seeks transcendence to the city-realm of dim Carcosa. Through a complex series of visualizations that expand the aspirants void-consciousness, the final age will arise. Ruled by the ominous King in Yellow, a new stage of reality will come to fruition. Of the Olde Ones, Hastur is considered to be one of the most difficult to work with, his teachings being reserved exclusively for the Cthonian Adepts and Lords.


Which Great Old One are you?


and when I just took the test on 030105, I got this result:



I am Nyarlathotep!


The 999 forms of Nyarlathotep are a point of meditation for the true initiate. It is through these manifold faces that the secrets of the universe are made known. Called "The Crawling Chaos", Nyarlathotep is the disembodied ego of Azathoth and thus the universal "I" of known reality. Some of the many documented forms are; Father of Knives, Nephren-Ka, the Black Man, the Beast of the Lashing Tongue to name a few.


Which Great Old One are you?


But, as "Private Grendel," one of the Churpacabra Policia, i represent a mother's righteous anger in protecting her child...



I am Shub-Niggurath!


Shub-Niggurath is often called the "Black Goat of the Woods with a Thousand Young", and is the force of creation, life, evolution/mutation. She represent the force of the one universal constant (ie change) on the biological. She is often envisioned as a dark, low lying cloud, with goat's hooves with numerous tenticals writhing from within. Her rites are best performed during a New Moon, or on Mid-Summer's Eve.
