Mountains of Madness had too much foreshadowing; and then the horror elements were way less horror and more "ooh, that's interesting". As in, this could have been better written calmly as sci fi, imo.

I like that one short story by Lovecraft where a dude and his uncle decide to investigate a haunted house and get scared so bad by the m-m-monster there that the uncle dies and the narrator goes crazy. Then in the last sentence it's revealed to be a big black middle finger aimed at the protagonist. THE HORROR!

Also, while I really like the story The Rats in the Walls, it's kinda funny at the end how he slyly suggests that the Irish are barely better than cavemen in intelligence and sophistication.

I love stupid Swedish news. Decent translation, although I think "brakfis" is better translated as "a crashing fart" rather than a "stinking cheese". And the sole reason I know this offhand is due to translating Joyce's letters into Swedish for the world's dumbest avant-garde play ever conceived.

The verb "queering," as used in Queer Theory, means reinterpreting texts or historical periods through the lens of said theory. The gerund "queering", as used by wrestler and motivational speaker Ultimate Warrior, is a colloquial term for a performative act of homosexuality, presumable that of male sodomy.

Smoking Crow's reply to Mo Tzu presents us with a a deliberating misreading of the text, treating the verb as the gerund. This playful substitution of one context for another exposes the original text to a "de-queering", where the precise, academic, and above all Queer understanding of a word is substituted for a colloquial, hetero-normative, and anti-Queer one. By doing so, Smoking Crow's reply makes an eloquent argument for the role of queering in Queer Theory, as a counterbalance to the de-queering inevitably imposed on texts by the hetero-normative environment with which they inevitably come into contact.

The fact that the Ultimate Warrior espoused government violence in the Middle East puts him squarely in the trading of right-wing interventionism, which in the 21st century US is strongly associated with hetero-normative and homo-oppressive policies. Therefore any pro-violence comments made said Warrior only underline his role in this hermeneutic as the avatar of hetero-normativity.

Oh yes, prog rock, a non-goony genre which is nothing like metal.

TRANSCRIPT OF DONALD TRUMP’S INAUGURAL ADDRESS, JANUARY 20TH, 2017:



My fellow Americans and Russian prostitutes: Jeb is hereby appointed Moon King. Sorry, Newt Gingrich. It was necessary—bing bing bong—to cuck you. [Off mike to Rudy Giuliani: this is a 4chan thread. Your mom is a 4chan thread]. Bing bing bing. [Off mike: it makes visiting the family really uncomfortable and confusing.] Trumpcare is about separate but equal bodily fluids and unwanted incestuous thoughts—bigly, believe me. The best-- just let me say that my daughter has a great flavor of urine. Hillary Clinton’s emails cannot compare to the wonderful taste of Ivanka’s urine during the primaries. The lying media is bad! Tremendous black friend vote. We will win. Check these dubs. Some people say I’m a Nazi. What they forget: it’s a movement, and that Hitler was low-energy. Genocide isn’t enough. Bing bing bong!



And his hair? A total disaster. Apologize like a dog! Lyin’ Ted is bringing back jobs like zodiac killing John F. Kennedy bigly. We’re going at [sic] Trump Tower, where public urination on Obama’s memorabilia which [sic] makes necessary Lindsey Graham’s piss and political correctness, because Rosie O’Donnell—sad! Radical Islamic terrorism [Off mike: and political correctness] will make America a total mess. That is great, just terrific, folks. Piss on me—you’ll come, promise! I guarantee you jobs, jobs, jobs—like urine collectors, big league, bigly. How stupid are Iowan voters? gently caress CNN, Buzzfeed, and Ivanka, but gently. All my supporters eat free at—are just tremendous. Troops, homes. Freedom isn’t free, but is now over. The third amendment… I can’t remember… is a waste.



Lemme tell you—this Lewis guy? Handsome? Sure, but a total mess. Jeb is a nice guy. Articulate—for a Bush! Melania never poops unless I say, “Barack Hussein Obama, piss and poo poo”. Praise the Goddess! [Three airhorn blasts from crowd] Do the Bartman, and may God do his thing. Bing bing God. I am Sam, Sam I am. Do you like the Cheeto man? Ninja, ninja rap. [yelling] TRUMP BOT REBOOTING! [resumes speaking tone] I am Adolf, except I’ll win. Bigly. Probably. Maybe. Radical. Islamic. Terrorism. Three simple words, and 85 more—sometimes just fourteen. And China is taking our jobs. I love China. Piss in soda. We must secure every sex slave drinking the piss [to aides] just my piss [to mic] sex slave piss. Very, very big. Sex slave piss is so delicious—better than Ivanka’s. I love piss. All piss matters.



In closing, I love radical Islam. Death to America. Allahu akbar, and full communism slowly and gradually. By the pussy. Vice President Pence—we haven’t spoken. I wanted Newt, Newt Newt Newt. It’s gonna be big wet rear end, the absolute wettest. My tiny hands will be wet, believe me folks. Jeb is a mess. Jeb is a waste, folks. Need Jeb’s piss in my wiener. And Mexico is a great place for me to go poop on! Anyways, bing bing bong, Bush did 9/11. I said, “Don’t let me stick, grease me up”.



Now, a joke: I am president. I’m a rapist. People are saying my rear end smells! I can’t reach-- Ivanka’s beautiful breasts are mine alone. I say to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi: need piss. Sixty-one! Bing bing bing. Bong, bing bing. It’s just that—and cumming profusely made America great! Crooked Hillary needs a golden shower at her colorist’s massive Jewish conspiracy, because yarmulkes are not Bannon-approved. Likewise, other Semitic groups lack foreskin, and scrupulously avoid pee-pee parties in Swiss resorts. Repeat after me: Barron will not be the actual example I use. He’s my bastard son and grandson. Nothing really matters. My early years, I was abused. Ha ha, only kidding. Furthermore, the blacks, whom I love, live in crime-ridden, so-called “trap”.



Ben Carson will personally inspect Hillary’s panties for piss. I have no reason to doubt that my daughter, the big dog, is best waifu. My SA username is actually Baloogan! Sad! First Lady Ivanka, the big dog, wants to build a restraining order. Peg me, please, I’m begging you, you horse fucker. [yelling] END THE FED! [arms waving furiously] Watch out for my germophobia, piss. [hoarsely, pointing] THE CHAOS EMERALDS! Mexico will pay in Two Corinthians. [screaming] BLACKED DOT COM! [resume normal tone] stars my daughter, World Star Hip-Hop legend Kanye West. [incoherent, sounds like “roffle roffle roffle”] Caresses my thighs, drinks daddy’s cummies. My African-American brazzers.com—check it out. Many people are saying that I’m bigly. That’s not true. I’m BIG LEAGUE! [brief pause for audience standing ovation] Into fake news, my daughter Ivanka, a Jew husband, and of course, his fabulous BJs.



My good friend, Governor Chris Christie, has eaten Melania, and that’s fine. Scott Baio will, and he peed. Build the swamp. Build it, please. Mexico might repay, I tell you—they probably won’t, because we are number one, and that means piss on my face, in my pants, in my mouth, on my children. A blind trust with my hoes, but not Eric. Bernie woulda won. Wishes come true… ha ha, psyche! Sad! “Love me, daddy,” Ivanka shouted as she came bigly, while the audience and husband clapped, unlike for Jeb, fapping in corner. [Impression of Jeb Bush (?)]That’s me, by the way. Fap fap fap. Jealous of Ivanka. I want mommy. [Impression ends] Wouldn’t hurt fly. Loving hurting women.



Trump then decided the wall will be manila folders. They’re blank, lol. My tax returns—no one cares. Winning’s more important! Just the biggest—my hands, yes. I’m completely retarded. Love ya, Vlad. Wouldn’t it be nice if Jeb—terrific, just terrific. Need more piss so I can sell Mexico some “Really Bad Hombres”-brand miracle piss. Starting today, masturbation via auto-erotic asphyxiation is mandatory for the intelligence agencies, but also for my greatest hero: my son, Barron, the Moldovian Scourge. Furthermore, the KKK has been promoted to non-stop anime Gestapo of America. Well, w-well, w-w-w-well, everybody’s getting laid! Especially me, when we repeal the laws against rape, and incest also! Ivanka is cute. Motorboat them tittays. Grab that pussy. Now I must leave this planet a smoldering ruin. Motorboat those titties. I loving hate the fake news.
