So, that's a vote for C'thulhu in '08, then? :D

*dies*

I'm wating for the Cthulhu/Flying Spaghetti Monster ticket.

O R'lyeh? :-)

Why settle for the lesser evil? Vote Elder Party; The Stars Are Right!

-- Steve does regard the US political scene with dismay, but, yeah, it could be worse.

You mean they're not squid?

[bellinghman.livejournal.com]

Vote for Cthulhu every year.

[spacelogic.livejournal.com]

At least it's damp. I'd feel sorry for a dry squid.

I've got one thing to say:

Go Cephalopods! *shakes green and black pompons*
*starts wearing her Miskatonic U shirt around the house*

don't forget the invisible pink unicorn...

*pout* I want to join the Church of the SubGenius!

Ya, R'lyeh!

OMGYAY! I love your icon! Is it stealable?

[miss-next.livejournal.com]

Icon love! :-D

Considering the current state of affairs around here, that might be a really good idea. (I unfortnately cannot say for certain as I've never actually read Lovecraft.)
*shakes head* There are days when I REALLY wish I didn't live right in the middle of all this. (I live in the second-largest city in New Hampshire. All the candidates will come through here.)

Hey, Diane, on an unrelated note...

I just found the Literature Map (http://www.literature-map.com/diane+duane.html) over on crowleycrow's journal.

Am I missing something? I can't figure out what 'damp-squid' is a typo for.

[jaxomsride.livejournal.com]

Damp squib.
Mind you I'm still chuckling over "John McCain being caught between two stools"

[dduane.livejournal.com]

"Squib." A small firecracker. In this case, one that got wet and failed to go off properly. In UK parlance, "[it was] something of a damp squib" is a phrase used to describe something that had less than the desired effect, or was otherwise disappointing.

Methinks the proofreader was perhaps pre-octopied . . .

[spacelogic.livejournal.com]

Absolutely. :-D

Thank you so much! Wu is my Congresscritter, but I've never seen him iconned before :D

[leorising1959.livejournal.com]

Lords have mercy, he's mine too, and I'm -- well, what's a word for somewhere between chagrined and embarassed and downright geekily proud? Like that.

Oh David, Wu-ster man, please reprint this speech in your next paid-for-by-my-taxes-because-you-frank-all-this-"voter information"-shit-but-we-know-it's-just-self-promotion Wu Newsletter.

Please. I plead. I beg!

*laughs and runs away*

WIN!

[sarekofvulcan.livejournal.com]

Ah, drat -- couldn't you have come up with this one _before_ I metaquotesed it (http://community.livejournal.com/metaquotes/5923556.html)?

[were-gopher.livejournal.com]

You just gotta send that one to Private Eye. Pure Hislop material.
