Cast A Deadly Spell is the best Lovecraftian film adaptation to date, anyone that argues that point with you either hasn’t seen it or is an imbecile unworthy of your time. The film centers around Phillip J. Lovecraft, a detective in a 1940’s Hollywood where magic and monsters are not only real, but common. Everyone, from housewives to CEO’s use magic, everyone except Phillip J. Lovecraft that is. It is my dubious honor to present you with the film, a favorite of mine for years, in its entirety, for today’s Cthursday thanks to the piratical inclinations of some benevolent soul. Don’t say we never gave you anything.
Cthulhu doesn't work if everyone knows. At what point does the unfamiliar stay scary if it is familiar.Everyone knows about chainsaw wielding axe murderers, but they no less scary.

Beer that fights cancer!I hate to burst your bubble, but every time science claims to have found a food or drink that fights cancer it never works outside of the lab. There are too many things that would run counter to the tiny amount the beer could do to fight cancer. I wish ot were true, but it is just another case of bad science being reported in the press.

Their war is with a society that tells us to choose the bland, the boring and the generic. A society that tells us to choose Bacardi Breezers, comfortable leisure wear and unisex hair salons. A society that tells us to remain clean-shaven. Most of us haven't had the guts to resist this society's oppressive demands. But since 1947, the fine fellows of the Handlebar Club have stood up to such sinister, homogenising forces in the only way they know how. By growing enormous moustaches.
A Japanese company ( Toyota ) and an American company (Ford) decided to have a canoe race on the Missouri River. Both teams practiced long and hard to reach their peak performance before the race.
On the big day, Toyota won by a mile.
Ford, very discouraged and depressed, decided to investigate the reason for the crushing defeat. A management team made up of senior managers was formed to investigate and recommend appropriate action.
Their conclusion was Toyota had 8 people rowing and 1 person steering, while Ford team had 8 people steering and 1 person rowing.
Feeling a deeper study was in order, Ford management hired a consulting company and paid them a large amount of money for a second opinion.
They advised, of course, that too many people were steering the boat, while not enough people were rowing.
Not sure of how to utilize that information , but wanting to prevent another loss to Toyota, the rowing team's management structure was totally reorganized to 4 steering supervisors, 3 area steering superintendents and 1 assistant superintendent steering manager.
They also implemented a new performance system that would give the 1 person rowing the boat greater incentive to work harder. It was called the 'Rowing Team Quality First Program,' with meetings, dinners and free pens for the rower. There was discussion of getting new paddles, canoes and other equipment, extra vacation days for practices and bonuses.
The next year Toyota won by two miles.
Humiliated, Ford management laid off the rower for poor performance, halted development of a new canoe, sold the paddles, and canceled all capital investments for new equipment. The money saved was distributed to the Senior Executives as bonuses and the next year's racing team was out-sourced to India
The End
Here's something else to think about: Ford has spent the last thirty years moving all its factories out of the US , claiming they can't make money paying American wages.
TOYOTA has spent the last thirty years building more than a dozen plants inside the US. The last quarter's results:
TOYOTA makes 4 billion in profits while Ford racked up 9 billion in losses.
Ford folks are still scratching their heads.

The Gloomwyrm
Also known by it’s Cathayan name the Serpent-Dragon of Twilight Aspect, the Gloomwyrm is a Cathayan Orc Pirate Junk commanded by Captain Mung-Qi and festooned with dragon-muzzled cannon. The Gloomwyrms are a fierce band of cutthroats and villains who joined the Ironfang Pirates willingly when they first saw the size of the fleet.

(http://i654.photobucket.com/albums/uu263/WBKurgan/Pirate%20Orcs/Monkey/WIP/HPIM7540.jpg)
Mung-Qi (Orc Boss)
Arrogant, boastful and conceited he calls himself “The great Orc Pirate Warlord Mung-Qi, equal of Gork and Mork, Captain of the Gloomwyrm Pirate Junk, scourge of the eastern seas” but most people find that a bit long-winded and pompous and just call him Mung-Qi. He wields a great two-handed iron cudgel, stolen from the treasure-horde of a sea dragon. Mung-Qi doesn’t know it but the metal staff is forged from meteoric iron, and as a result it is almost unbreakable and slightly magical. He also wears what he thought was the legendary Crown of Command, but he was duped into putting it on by his Shaman and it is not what he claimed it to be. The golden circlet looks impressive but Mung-Qi would remove it if only he could.

(http://i654.photobucket.com/albums/uu263/WBKurgan/Pirate%20Orcs/Monkey/WIP/HPIM7542.jpg)
Tricky-Tarka (Orc Shaman)
Sly, secretive and deceitful, even by Orc Shaman standards, Tricky-Tarka has final say in all the decisions the Mung-Qi and the Gloomwyrms make – all he has to do if he doesn’t get his way is recite a secret spell and the “Crown of Command” shrinks slightly and causes Mung-Qi unbearable pain! The Shaman is searching Cathay for the Scrolls of Mork and is using the pirates for his own ends.

Xan-Dee (Orc Big'Un)
In his former life as a river pirate Xan-Dee developed a taste for human flesh and he still wears several skulls hung from his cloths and lank hair. The Gloomwyrm was attacked by his small band of river pirates when it ventured up-river many years ago but Xan-Dee’s crew were swiftly overcome and killed. Xan-Dee was impressed by the ferocity of the Gloomwyrms and joined them immediately.

Pig-Xi (Orc Big'Un)
Once a Boar-herder for a northern tribe of nomadic Orcs, Pig-Xi got fed-up with the constant abuse of the rest of the tribe and the relentless biting from the boars. With a very large bag of supplies packed he left the camp in the dead of night when the tribe stopped near a coastal port. He joined the Gloomwyrm’s crew when he heard they were sailing at dawn. He is easily distracted by food and drink and enjoys little in life more than eating.

...vomit in Brick's shoe
If Margaret Thatcher is re-elected as prime minister on Thursday, I warn you.
I warn you that you will have pain–when healing and relief depend upon payment.
I warn you that you will have ignorance–when talents are untended and wits are wasted, when learning is a privilege and not a right.
I warn you that you will have poverty–when pensions slip and benefits are whittled away by a government that won’t pay in an economy that can’t pay.
I warn you that you will be cold–when fuel charges are used as a tax system that the rich don’t notice and the poor can’t afford.
I warn you that you must not expect work–when many cannot spend, more will not be able to earn. When they don’t earn, they don’t spend. When they don’t spend, work dies.
I warn you not to go into the streets alone after dark or into the streets in large crowds of protest in the light.
I warn you that you will be quiet–when the curfew of fear and the gibbet of unemployment make you obedient.
I warn you that you will have defence of a sort–with a risk and at a price that passes all understanding.
I warn you that you will be home-bound–when fares and transport bills kill leisure and lock you up.
I warn you that you will borrow less–when credit, loans, mortgages and easy payments are refused to people on your melting income.
If Margaret Thatcher wins on Thursday–
- I warn you not to be ordinary
- I warn you not to be young
- I warn you not to fall ill
- I warn you not to get old.
