The C(thulhu) Programming Language

And yet I saw them in a limitless stream– flopping, hopping, croaking, bleating– sorting themselves inhumanly through the spectral moonlight in a grotesque, malignant saraband of fantastic nightmare. Their croaking, baying voices called out in the hideous language of the Old Ones:

      void Rlyeh
      (int mene[], int wgah, int nagl) {
      int Ia, fhtagn;
      if (wgah>=nagl) return;
      swap (mene,wgah,(wgah+nagl)/2);
      fhtagn = wgah;
      for (Ia=wgah+1; Ia<=nagl; Ia++)
      if (mene[Ia]<mene[wgah])
      swap (mene,++fhtagn,Ia);
      swap (mene,wgah,fhtagn);
      Rlyeh (mene,wgah,fhtagn-1);
      Rlyeh (mene,fhtagn+1,nagl);

      } // PH'NGLUI MGLW'NAFH CTHULHU!

Exhaling Miasma of Surreality

Gas Mask Showerhead by Chris Dimino.

Stray

P.O.D

Lord Belial sought me today,
And said he would lead me astray,
I turned around then walked away,
To him I would have naught to say.

BOG

In sombre mist,
With sober wit,
Truth in all sobriety,
Lies in null felicity.

Hidden in full cloth,
Mask in hidden pith,
Disturbing only in mind,
Never thy heart bind.

What lies dead,
Dreaming of dread,
Lightly I tread,
Awaken only on bed.

Blaring verve,
Rippling my nerve,
As I observe,
She’s at the curve.

As I stay morose,
They clasp in eros,
Blissfully engross,
In heavenly cosmos.

As mind aching,
Putrid belching,
Heart bursting,
I’m drifting.

One lunar cycle await,
As time ebb and abate,
Stagnate till that date,
Weighing the fate.

Disillusioned by devotion,
Scarred with friction,
Inundated with caution,
I shun with gumption.

Lash the hounding sleuth,
I bear the sooth,
Dash with uncouth youth,
I bare the truth.

Yog-Sothoth: The Key and the Gate

Yog-Sothoth knows the gate. Yog-Sothoth is the gate. Yog-Sothoth is the key and guardian of the gate. Past, present, future, all are one in Yog-Sothoth. He knows where the Old Ones broke through of old, and where They shall break through again. He knows where They have trod earth’s fields, and where They still tread them, and why no one can behold Them as They tread.
—H. P. Lovecraft, “The Dunwich Horror ” – Written Summer 1928; first published in Weird Tales, 13, No. 4, (April 1929)

To the transient vagrant to this abode, Yog-Sothoth is the map to traverse afar from the land of HC SVNT DRACONES. Yog-Sothoth is the link.

Yog-Sothoth + neko = O.o =^_^= o.O

Which reminds me of another eldritch combination:

Cthulhu + Tare Panda = Metal Slug 3 Boss
