Cthulhu humor

[nancylebov]

laughingfox's gaming group is interested in Cthulhu humor, so I'm passing on some good stuff I've seen recently.

bradhicks has about the importance of not engaging in sex with shoggoths and a follow-up.

And here's a much quoted account of what can drive a Miskatonic professor over the edge.

I recently read something about the Harry Potter books being Lovecraftian, with a description of a Lovecraft character who has a disquieting resemblance to Snape and a suggestion that the house elves are really Deep Ones. Does anyone have enough (in)sanity left to remember where it was? I'm pretty sure I saw it on LJ.

And if anyone has other Lovecraft humor to recommend, bring it on.

It turns out that Cthuugle is still the very handy Lovecraft et al. search engine--when I mispelled it as cthoogle, I was redirected to a porn site, and googling established that cthoogle is a common word on such sites. Something very odd is going on, and I hope it's not shoggoth sex.

Well, how are the old ones supposed to propagate, if not for Shoggoth sex?

IIRC, shoggoths are artificial constructs. If shoggotha and humans are interfertile, I don't want to know about it.

And there's the ever- popular Hello Cthulhu (http://www.hello-cthulhu.com/?date=2003-11-30), perhaps the weirdest crossover of all time. (For those who don't want to risk madness, it's the Great Old Ones meeting Hello Kitty.)
