For it is in the foetid depths of R'Undisclosed Location, napping in front of the T.V., while its she-wife goes on the Daily Show, and while its slavish minion, Shrub-Niggurath, summons the idiot god Albertozoth to suckle on a thousand outstretched tentacles, each oozing as one an ichor of ungodly cheez-whiz. That is not dead which eternally <i>lies</i>. It is a merciful thing, I think, that the human mind forbids itself the most horrible of thoughts and eldritch images, lest it go mad.
