Overheard in the Office:

RX: "Cthulhu porn. You know it's out there. Rule 43."

Me: "You mean Rule 34."

RX: "Right. Well, what's Rule 43 then?"

Me: "There's always some poor dyslexic who can't find his porn on the internet."

the gripping hand said...: Speaking of Rule 34, I heartily recommend Charlie Stross' "Rule 34". A fine read.; 9:34 AM, July 28, 2011
Themadlemming said...: Wouldn't certain hentai be considered Cthulhu porn?; 9:34 AM, July 28, 2011
og said...: Been there. Done it. Have the scars from the tentacles.

Few know that the suction cups underneath the tentacles have the same serrated chitinous edges as Architeuthis, a close relative of Chtulhu.

the hot deal now is zombie porn.

Prepare to be drenched in the man-juice of the UNDEAD!; 9:50 AM, July 28, 2011

elmo iscariot said...: At one point, I thought I'd broken rule 34 by failing to find byakhee porn on the internet. Then I discovered the paper magazine Cthulhu Sex, which I recommend if you want to see how far humans will go in doing the insane things humans do. It's up to a surprisingly high number of issues by now.; 10:05 AM, July 28, 2011
elmo iscariot said...: Ah, turns out it's out of print. Que sera.; 10:07 AM, July 28, 2011
God, Gals, Guns, Grub said...: Is that like when an agnostic, dyslexic insomniac stays up all night wondering if there really is a "dog"?; 10:14 AM, July 28, 2011
Bubblehead Les. said...: But doesn't Rule 43 overrule Rule 34? I mean, it's the Answer to Life, the Universe and Everything, and Everything includes Shoggoths, He Who Must Not Be Named....; 10:48 AM, July 28, 2011
misbeHaven said...: wv = inablers

Appropriate, though mispelled. I should be typing something witty right now, but I'm laughing too hard to think of it.; 10:48 AM, July 28, 2011
misbeHaven said...: Oops. Misspelled. See, it's affecting me, too.; 11:03 AM, July 28, 2011

Do you know the actual question?; 11:19 AM, July 28, 2011
Guffaw in AZ said...: @Anon - "To Be of Not to Be! THAT is the question!"

@Tam - 'his porn'?...you mean women don't like nekkid pictures?; 11:39 AM, July 28, 2011
Tam said...: Guffaw,

Although I've finally been convinced that using "they" as the third-person singular gender-indeterminate pronoun will not cause me to be struck by lightning, sometimes I still wax traditional in pronoun usage.; 11:49 AM, July 28, 2011
elmo iscariot said...: Quite. When it comes to pronouns and gender-neutrality, everybody can make his own decision. ;); 12:04 PM, July 28, 2011
Anonymous said...: THAT's what I have been entering wrong. Here I thought it was just because I couldn't find the any key.

John Stephens said...: I think Rule 36 is the more Lovecraftian: "There is always something worse than what you just saw. NO EXCEPTIONS."; 12:39 PM, July 28, 2011
elmo iscariot said...: On a larf, I just applied Rule 63 to Lovecraft.

Do a Google image search for "girl Cthulhu"... If you dare!; 12:43 PM, July 28, 2011
Tirno said...: I thought Rule 43 was "Any common mistyping of a popular web site's domain name will be squatted (ha) by a porn site."

See: www.whitehouse.com.

No, I'm not making that a link.

WV: goolygoe. Also don't go to that site.; 12:44 PM, July 28, 2011
Brad K. said...: I am an old guy, officially. I have stood as a people greeter at Walmart.

So I had to look at UrbanDictionary.com to find Rule 43. There were four meanings listed; I liked the first three.

1. "You can find anything on the Internet if you are willing to look for it long enough."

2. "The more Beautiful and Pure a thing is - the more satisfying it is to corrupt it."

3. "When you can shit, you should shit. This helps avoid awkward moments of unease in the foreseeable future."

Rule 34 was less enlightening.

> "Generally accepted internet rule that states that pornography or sexually related material exists for any conceivable subject."

At least you aren't picking on my Model Railroader magazine, or the Draft Horse Journal. Or even "N", the newsletter for the Naturist Society, where folk drop trou because the breeze feels nice.; 2:49 PM, July 28, 2011
Nylarthotep said...: Rule Number 16 is bogus. Or TAM has some explaining to do.

Shub Niggurath is the only hotty in the bunch. How else did she get 1000 young. (Don't believe that goat thing.)

Lovely to see a discussion of family.; 4:23 PM, July 28, 2011
Guffaw in AZ said...: @Tam - I did notice you avoided the question...
(and I get the traditional thing); 7:53 PM, July 28, 2011
