The Thing of the idols, the green, sticky spawn of the stars, had awaked to claim his own. The stars were right again, and what an age-old cult had failed to do by design, a band of innocent sailors had done by accident. After vigintillions of years great Cthulhu was loose again, and ravening for delight.
Most horrible of all it seems it has spawned another monster from its foul lions even more terrible than it could ever be. The Child of Cthulhu has arisen and the heaven's wept.

Ambrose Bierce wrote some really good stuff--IIRC he disappeared around the turn of the last century in Mexico. Too bad, but never get in a drinking contest in a cantina with a guy who doesnt need a stinkin badge.
Is that not Joan Rivers on the left? If so she could be declared the national botox strategic reserve.

Sir: You overlook the substanial labial and philtrum reserves of The Ang.
Philtrum? Damn near emptied 'em!
My wrinkles area a badge of honor. My kids worked hard to put in place every wrinkle and gray hair, their proud accomplishments. I admit that since turning sixty I started using a " night serum" on my face. Getting those freckles that ladies my age who spent too much time baking in the sun as a 16 year old get.
Ah well time marches on, whaddya gonna do?
Allie--the wonderful Anna Magnani, Italian film star, when asked about removing her wrinkles said: I worked for every one of these--why do I want them removed.
You are in good company
Hiya Roger!
Well, no needle shall ever poke my face. I will stay 15 pounds heavier than my ideal weight, helps with filling out some of the wrinkles. Aging gracefully may be lost to me, just because I'm such a child deep down. My kids scold me, I just laugh, my grandkids adore me.
The documentary on Joan Rivers was very good. To her credit, she was honest. She's an asshole NYer but not a phoney. And, although I don't like her, she is funny and works her ass off.
Just to make sure I have this right, that is Joan Rivers and her daughter--and I agree with Nick--Joan is a piece of work and is what she is--very engaging lady, and really quite funny.
Hi Roger J.!
I'm with you on the wrinkle thing, Allie. I am convinced that aging gracefully is more attractive than the botox thing. And I agree about the 15 pounds too.
I probably could be persuaded to have a boob job eventually, though. I'm a hypocrite!
I think Joan is funny and agree she works her ass off.
Her ex manager is bitching about her and Cher in a new book.
Joan is an American classic.
tits.
Darce, it's your body, your decision, but you really need to seriously consider whether or not you really want to undergo cosmetic surgery. It's still surgery, and it's elective.
But it's also not my decision to make, just offering the perspective of someone who has been sliced and diced more than I care to comment on.
Darcy, boobies are charming in all sizes and most shapes, the humongous boobie phase may be over some day and then all those women who inflated their chests with saline will have to deflate them to remain in vogue, ew.
You two are so sweet! I love this place.
I don't want to be bigger. But I can imagine a point where I'd love to try to counteract the ravages of time and significantly slimming down. Hopefully, I'm just imagining. lol
Tits.
If, as so many celebrities nowadays seem to have, you need someone to walk around behind you, giving you a lift, a helping hand or two, acting as a supporter, as it were, let me be among the first to volunteer. I am strong, but gentle.
Plus, with me behind you, you will look younger and even more beautiful.
Thoroughly charmed! ;-)
Sixty volunteered to be your bosom buddy, Darcy!
Well hell, my boobs are sagging too, any volunteers?
Crickets.....
Bueller?
Oh well, I guess it's time for that contraption designed to torture women, the underwire push up bra, alas aging is a biatch. Damn gravity to hell.
Did I tell you about the worst rack I ever saw?
It was wonderful--stay away from unecessary surgery--you need absolutely no enhancements.
I'll scoop 'em up, Allie.
I'm nothing if not a gentleman.
Aw what a good boy scout, you deserve a badge for helping out an old lady:)
I would be honored to help and volunteer with you Allie.
You look kind of cute to me.
My tits are really getting large now because of the roids. Peeps are taking notice.
tits.
Titus, how sweet of you to volunteer. Maybe Sixty has inadvertantly created the Boobie Brigade, a volunteer army of sorts.
What a visual. @@
the underwire push up bra Lord, I've been wearing those for decades, already. I wouldn't mind a boob lift (but no implants, just a minor gravity offset, back to, say age 35-40 ballpark). Also, since I inherited bags-under-eyes tendency from my dad's side and the sagging-wrinkly-eyelid from my mom's side, there are signs of an unfortunate convergence of unkind genetics in the offing, and I'm surprised at how much that bugs me (way, WAY more than the boobs, for example, and way more than wrinkles etc. elsewhere). So...I dunno...maybe ONE modest, not drastic eye-lift job (meaning, one time for both eyes, not just one eye) seems appealing, down the line.
Appealing, but probably not likely. Had the kid so darn light, his higher education is likely to conflict with the optimal timing for such things, age-wise.
Luckily, dreaming's free.

If I ever start talking more drastically--such that anyone fears I might end up like poor Joan, for example--someone please fly out to IA or wherever and stop me. You can bill me for the airfare later, when I've regained my rationality.
Facial features are not the most accurate of tells when it comes to spwn. They tend to be shape changers.
Life is stranger than fiction and myths exist for a reason.
Back in 1928 a writer imagined ...a malevolent entity trapped in an underwater city in the South Pacific...described as ...an octopus, a dragon, and a human caricature..."
Little did he know 70 million deaths were soon to be realized through the individual and collective decisions of evolved humans unable speak the same language and hold in balance their ability to "be like God, knowing good and evil".
Age, it's natural. Age gratiously, you can't go wrong. There is no reason in the world to compete with Hollywood. Those people suck. Diet, exercise, life choices are all that you need to age gratiously.
R,L I have a couple of friends that had that eyelid lift, it was covered by insurance because it was deemed medically nesessary as they were drooping so bad it interfered with vision! So don't feel bad if you have to do it.
They look great, doesn't look fake at all.
R,L, I've been fighting wearing the underwire, push up bra, I like the soft au natural look, but gravity has no mercy.
AllenS... SonM works in the trades with an older crusty guy, who's "really good at what he does, but kind of keeps to himself" He called today to say, "I figured out why he's so cussed! He wears a 101st Airborne hat and it turns out he was a paratrooper in Vietnam. Said pay was 100 bucks a month then but 150 if he went to jump school, so he did!"
I dream of driving my red Corvette convertible so fast that the hair plugs are sucked clean off of my head.
Yep, dreamin' is free.
In some ways I think aging makes men and women relate to each other so much better than when they were younger, being post menopausal brings women's hormone levels closer to older men's levels.
Before you know it they begin to look alike.

Well, I would like to go down a cup size or two and still be well above a C cup.
Women who go for the big rack have no idea what a pain...literally...it can be. Clothes don't fit. Bra's are expensive. Your back aches.
AND....playing golf is almost impossible /wink :-D
I think it takes more than one operation to turn yourself into Cat People.
Also: ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn!!!
Damn. Looks like I missed another exciting episode of Trooper York's Greatest Tits.

Sorry to leave you hanging.
I had my hands full.
You're a good soldier for the "cause" Sixty, it's okay some of your trusty troops did a great job, while you were elsewhere occupied.
