Rules for submitting comments:
1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.
2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.
3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.
4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.
Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.
Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.

There can only be one explanation: we're leaving such a massive Carbon Footprint that it's actually going back in time and affecting weather in the middle Miocene! Won't anybody stop this madness? Tinkkuv da Chiiidren!
ReplyDeleteOn the plus side, the Elder Things (as shown here) are some of the very few entities that are vulnerable to conventional weapons. Meaning that shooting them actually hurts them , as opposed to just annoying them enough to induce them to rip your head off (and maybe imprison your brain in a metallic cylinder for a few millennia with Slim Whitman's Greatest Hits being played into your cerebrum 24/7/ad infinitum).
