It's true isn't it. This is the house I told you about.

You were thirteen. You climbed over the wall for a dare.

That's your surprise isn't it? Bringing me back here.

Remind me what it was that you sensed when you entered this deserted house. An aura of intense evil?

Don't you have things you hate?

I can't stand burnt toast. I loath bus stations. Terrible places. Full of lost luggage and lost souls.

I told you I never wanted to come back here again.

And then there's unrequited love. And tyranny. And cruelty.

Too right.

We all have a universe of our own terrors to face.

I face mine on my own terms.

Katherine: Comment appelez-vous les pieds et la robe?

Alice: De foot, madame, et de count.

Katherine: De foot et de count? O Seigneur Dieu, ils sont les mots de son mauvais, corruptible, gros et impudique, et non pour les dames d'honneur d'user! Je ne voudrais pronouncer ces mots devant les seigneurs de France pour tour le monde! Foh! De foot et de count! Néanmoins, je réciterai une autra fois ma leçon ensemble: de hand, de fingre, de nails, d'elbow, de nick, de sin, de foot, le count.

In Roger Zelazny's Nine Princes in Amber, Corwin describes Random physically as: "a wily-looking little man, with a sharp nose and a laughing mouth and a shock of straw-colored hair." He describes Random's character (before marriage and kingship) this way: "But I knew he was nobody's fool; he was resourceful, shrewd, strangely sentimental over the damnedest things; and on the other hand, his word wasn't worth the spit behind it, and he'd probably sell my corpse to the medical school of his choice if he could get much for it." Random was the youngest legitimate son of Oberon and the shortest. Was teased often as a lad, but more than made up for it in guile and nasty pranks. He was a professional musician before the Unicorn chose him to succeed Oberon. Then the foot-loose scoundrel became transformed into a responsible and fair-minded king, using his cleverness and charm for good.

In janecarnall's words: One half of a couple is standing in the fresh vegetable aisle of a large supermarket. The other half is away over the other side of the shop. The two can see each other, but cannot communicate verbally. Can the other half convey to the one in the vegetable aisle that he wants broccoli?

Oh Great Cthulhu!

I have been an extremely assiduous devotee this year.

In November, I legally changed my name to Randolph Carter (-40 points). In September, I bombed a cultist gathering (-100 points). In December, I rescued </a></b></a>ghoti from being sacrificed (-200 points). When the stars were right, I made a burnt offering to the Dead Dreamer (100 points). In March, I exposed </a></b></a>dunkyb to soul-rending horrors (250 points). Last week, I called down the wrath of Yog-Sothoth upon womble2 (65 points).

In short, I have been very good (75 points) and deserve to be eaten first.

Your humble and obedient servant,
senji

You Should Get a PhD in Liberal Arts (like political science, literature, or philosophy)

You're a great thinker and a true philosopher. You'd make a talented professor or writer.
