Love the little victim figures.

I'm humming the tune-less tune now.
The Fighting Cephalopods can't pass too well but boy can they dribble!

Go Pods!!

There's strange stuff out there.

Two questions...

1.) How do you pronounce it?

2.) Does this mean I can get rid of all these freakin Beanie Babies now that they are worth what? Millions of dollars by now, right?

>How do you pronounce it?

... Cthulhu (other spellings: Kutulu, Q'thulu, Ktulu, Cthulu, Kthulhut, Kulhu, Thu Thu, Tulu, and many others) is a fictional being created by horror author H.P. Lovecraft. Cthulhu is often preceded by the epithet Great, Dead, or Dread.

Lovecraft transcribed the pronunciation of Cthulhu as "Khlûl'hloo" or "Kathooloo." S. T. Joshi points out, however, that Lovecraft gave several differing pronunciations on different occasions. According to Lovecraft, however, this is merely the closest that the human vocal apparatus can come to reproducing the syllables of an alien language.

Recently I bought one of the rare [?] skunk Beanies for about three bucks . . .

I'd like to have the little victims set - just to display on my desk at work.

My favorite part of the victims is they're all round so they all fit in Cthulhu's claws. So, depending on my mood, Cthulhu can switch from ravaging the scientist one day, the Fed the next day, and wrap up the week with the Librarian on Friday . . . It's my monster dreams . . .

[Lurker]

I was a huge Lovecraft fan. He was no doubt one of the scariest authors ever.

At least that's what I thought back in 1975.

I've got to get me one.

We’ve got one of those flying monkeys at work. Best. Office. Toy. Evah!

[Pete from Shawnee Mission]

He gave me nightmares.

He lived an odd live writing for pulp sci-fi magazines. Not much money. If I recall correctly he had a rented room and lived on coffee and toast, or something pretty close to that. He died pretty young of stomach cancer or some GI tract problem.
