Tentacle monsters just need a friend.icecreamemperorFebruary 2 2005, 14:40:22 UTC
Sometimes our kitchen sink gurgles for no reason at all, like something is draining further below and the echo fills the apartment with sounds of some great underwater beast with tentacles trying to wiggle its way up our drainpipe and around the corner and... well, it never makes it, but I KNOW IT IS THERE.
It has been listening through the drain, and now it wants to play your keyboard. One day you will wake up and, bleary-eyed, encounter six horrific tentacles playing Beethoven's Pathetique in your living-room. Very poorly. But will you give the creature from the deep the chance to practice, or will you scream like a girl and run for the axe? Only time will tell...

You decide to let the tentacle beast get some much-needed practice in, and wander into the bathroom to brush your teeth and shower.
By the time you emerge, the tentacles have moved on to "Rhapsody in Blue," and are displaying an impressive level of ability. They are also dripping all over your brand new carpet.
Entranced by the beauty of Gershwin's composition, you suddenly realise that you are late for class!
If you rush out the door to class, turn to page 9. If you decide to skip class and enjoy the improvisational genius of your monstrous friend, turn to page 68.

A good friend of mine chose the BBS handle 'Cthulu' and only several years later -- after having built up an extravagant online identity, including managing an art group on 'the scene' -- noticed that he was missing an H.
So really, I never would have noticed if you hadn't pointed it out. Which I think means you must get some of those geek points back for pedantry-to-the-point-of-making-yourself-look-less-cool.
