    OK...the WEIRD...Nothing I know is more weird than this...And I still can't count how many Friday nights I spent, when I was young, running to the theatres, watching this...and reciting the lines...and...and...well...well...DAMN...WHERE'S THE MOVIE SCHEDULE?!?!?!

     

    Met my wife of 20+ years in line for the weekly midnight showing in Berkeley.

    ...they still show it at the Clinton St. Cinema here in Portland on Saturday nights.  

    Don't forget your toast.

    I wonder if I can change my caller id to "Cthulu"

    ...actually have a copy of the role play game rules for Call of Cthulhu and have played it. o several occasions.  Fun game where the goal is not to die but end up insane.

    oh and speaking of Cthulhu, the holidays are coming.

  • ... I think I have that Cthulhu plush or one very similar... need to find the tree tentacles though, I like those.  (Also have a corcheted Cthulhu hat/mask somewhere...)

    This book is brilliant!  It is fun to leave around so guests will find it....

    Strange creatures are always welcome additions!

    ...well slowly working up a Sabrinno (a race from an old SF story idea I had). Taking time though as I have to get better with the new Strand Hair tool.and having to learn sculpting to create a couple of the facial features and ears.

    Gonna' need the resources of that Titan-X to render when done.

    The head with the spidery crab legs in John Carpenter's "The Thing" (Kurt Russell) was about as weird as I like my creatures to get ;).

    ...should have seen John Lennon's surreal illustrations in the book of short stories and verse he wrote back in 1964, titled John Lennon: In His Own Write.

    On the weird art part of the thread, it's obviously a man with a gimick (and either a bunch of patrons, a grant, or a slew of commissions) but check for an Abrams art book called 'Carl Warner's Food Landscapes'. Possibly listed simply as 'Food Landscapes' and Carl Warner as the artist/author.

    It'd representative art, but I promise it's weird.

    I've always gone for "k'thoo-loo" or "ARGGH!ARGH! Noooo! AAA!!!! Iä! Iä! Cthulhu fhtagn! I serve thee!!!!"

     

    *cough*

     

    sorry

    have another linkie - the Unspeakable Vault (of Doom)

    just watch out for the Shoggies...

  • I am gathering Oso wants ideas and butt tubas may not meet the store TOS 

    a tentacle dog with a mindflayer snout might

    Why not just exclude the butt? Afterall, its the digestive tract that provides the fuel/wind and the rectum with an adjoining sphincter that provides the music. Call it a "Fleshwind" or "Breakwind" instrument and revive the old great pieces, "Chinese Firecrackers", "Butt Locrian Ala Mode", "The Three Flatulent Tenors", "In the Loo of the Mountain King"....

    Seeing those videos (there's a series of them) inspired me to stage and render some fan art.

    One with a "cute" figure by Sixus1...

    ...and another with their second model of Cthulhu...

    I managed to contact the creator of those clips and he seemed to like them.  (Of course, he may have just wanted to avoid hurting my feelings.)

    Sincerely,

    Bill

    That's the untextured version of this...

     

  • RedfernRedfern Posts: 1,647

    McGyver?  If I were a woman, I'd ask you to father my children!  I love your irreverence and sense of wit!

    But as I am a middled aged version of Ernie Douglas from "My Three Sons", instead I'll simply salute you!

    Sincerely,

    Bill

    ..hmm content based on non-Euclidian geometry.  Could be interesting.  Wonder if it can be done with dForce?

    Don't worry too much about it. Any pronunciation possible using the human mouth is wrong anyway.

  • think saw heard it was pronounced Cut Too Loo

    Speaking of everyone's favorite Dark Elder God,  this is a cool book, done in the style of Dr. Suess:
