[QUOTE="Kid Charlemagne, post: 526362, member: 93"] Found on Usenet, many years ago... A Cthulhoid Christmas Carol for those in the know... Twas the night before festival All through the town The Shoggoth-pit keepers Were keeping them down The cultists were tossing around in their beds For visions of Ragnarok danced in their heads The bookmarks were placed in the old tomes with care In hopes that the formulae would be found there When out of the void There arose such a thunder I thought that the San Andreas Fault had gone under I slammed out the shutters to take in the sight of vague monstrous figures through snow-driven night They towered miles high Coming in from the sea So the townspeople rushed out and cheered "teke-li!" Cyclopean horrors soon waded the streets Their stride 90 meters Their wings tattered sheets They stared straight ahead If they even had eyes Calamatous crashes drowned out human cries I couldn't help think as my house was destroyed I shouldn't have chanted Nor with formulae toyed Now the Great Clearing off in earnest began Our own reign on the Earth just a flash in the pan Our seven great wonders Our metropoli Would be ground in the dirt and hot ash in the sky With my legs crushed by concrete And chaos all 'round I reached to the drawer where my cyanide's found I choked out a whisper Just 'fore the sky fell "Happy festival, losers, I'll see you in hell!"
