By “terrible,” I mean “fearsome and awesome in nature, evil and vile, to be dreaded and scorned.” And who else fits that bill but Kanye West Cthulhu?

Not only are these mostly homemade plush and stuffed Cthulhu items amazing, the ski hat may be the coolest thing going. Just remember, like Mr. Blog always says: “Ph’nglui mglw’nafh Cthulhu R’lyeh wgah’nagl fhtagn!” And next time you’re in Innsmouth, tell ’em Mr. Blog sent ya!

The Inappropriate Gorilla

Do you like curry?
I do not.

I think it stinks. Put it in my meal and you can keep it. Don’t want it. Won’t touch it.
And that’s a problem.

My girlfriend is a great cook. She can cook anything and it all tastes great. But the trouble is, she likes curry.
Loves it.

I do not.

So it can be a little bit of a problem when she cooks for me because she is likely to put curry in anything, including pancakes.

But that is my cross to bear in life.

HOWEVER, there is one circumstance where I can get firmly behind curry, Where I say “bring it on” and while I won’t touch that crap, I’ll gladly back the fact that it is there.

This is a shop in Manhattan and no, I’ve never been there. Don’t want to go in there either. But I love gorillas and stick a gorilla on a sign and you’ve got a store that I’m all for. Won’t try the food, but I love the sign. I have no idea what a gorilla has to do with curry, but as I always say, everything is better with gorillas.

That seems to me to be the most inappropriate use of a gorilla that I can imagine.

BTW- not only is that Kodak film’s colors, it looks like they used the same font as well.
