There's a Charles Stross story about the soviets keeping a menagerie of Ancient Ones as secret weapons in Siberia. And we all know they had giant robots, not to mention The Crimson Dynamo.
Err...what?!?!
Is that a serious web site? I'm so confused.
Next thing you know, President Bush will be uttering profanities on
TV!
I can't imagine Vladmir Putin having sex.
On the other hand, I can imagine him in a robe with a sacrificial
knife chanting barbarous names while standing on a cliff over
Arkhangelsk.
Maybe I'm just weird.
President Vladimir Putin does not remember the first time he
had sex.
What, was he too drunk to save the receipt?
"When did you start to have sex?" Kommersant reporter Andrei
Kolesnikov then asked, verbalizing a question that was on the minds
of 5,640 Internet users.
"I don?t remember when I started. But I can remember the last
time," Putin said.
Actually, that's more than I can say.
i thought the cthulu were a group of squid headed guys from
outer space...not a creature laying dormant at the bottom of the
ocean.
I should really go back and look at my advanced D&D dieties and
demigods hand book...which begs the question if it is at the bottom
of the pacific then it should not be at the bottom of greyhawks
ocean.
I have said to much.
Read H&R all the time - never posted here before. So, my
first post on H&R is about... AD&D. The Cthulu "species
*was* a "group of squid headed guys from outer space" who crashed
into the ocean, where somehow they became trapped by some, uh,
mystical curse. But when the curse is broken, Cthulu and his
minions shall rise to conquer and destroy. Where's my Lovecraft
books when I need 'em? My Deities & Demigods tome is collecting
dust in a box at the parents' house. You could always ignore the
Pacific Ocean and transpose the Cthulu into a Greyhawk ocean, thus
allowing your clerics and paladins to battle them in the Gygax
AD&D milieu. +5 plate armor, healing potions, and a vorpal
might help, but unlikely. Battling Cthulu is worse than going
against Tiamat or Asmodeus.
Jeezus I'm a geek.
"I don?t remember when I started. But I can remember the
last time," Putin said.
Was it with the kid whose stomache Putin kissed?
