My Little Cthulu

img via paizo.com

I saw this in SF's J-Town and asked about " octopussy thing". Oh no, -2 geek points for me. Even my friend knew it on sight. Damn. Missed opportunity to sing "how much is that cthulu in the window?". Very cute. $30 cute, tho?

Apparently from Dork Tower. Yes, I said "apparently". Fine, another -1 point deduction. Geez.

Gaming: Day of The Tentacle

via Moby Games

Also more info here: Gamespot

Having recently adopted Mi Querido Blanquito, DS Lite, my head's been (back) deep in gaming. And not the usual 3rd gen photoreal-HRDI spectaculars, but the lower res games that are still really wonderfully designed, either in terms of unique gameplay, visuals or, one hopes, both. Wishing there was a way to get this PC title ported to a DS lite (but knowing that sh!t's not happening*) I bring you "Day of the Tentacle" which, along with Grim Fandango and Monkey Island, were LucasArts titles that regret missing the boat on. Cuz I was getting my higher learning on. Yah. Fat lot of good *that* did me, hah!

Okay, I'll return to my regularly sked'ed tentacular accessories blogging shortly.

Stikfas w/ Octopus

via entertainmentearth.comc

Yah, clearly a slow day for me. I tend to like the more minimalist stikfas, but hey! octopus! Unclear if it's equally as poseable as his diver cohort.

Crickey. For some reason I just remembered Steve Irwin's fatal encounter. Ah well. Lived quite a life, he did.

It Came From Esty: Octo Pendant

via Etsy.com

Nice to see something that isn't on the Hello Octo cutey-cute tip. I like the antiqued brass against the glass-- almost reminds me of chinese jade in a gold setting. I don't think I could pull this off. It's a matter of scale. I flash back immediately to a college friend of a friend who could really pull of these 2"+ ethnic pendants-- green olmec heads on red ribbon, for instance-- because everything about here was grand. Which is to say sista had cleavage for days. Nothing could overwhelm those girls.

Yah. So off topic. But such a cool piece, ne?

WTF: Octo Ate My Baby!

No. Noooo. No. That's really putting the "baby" in beanie baby. Le blech.

Ooh! Stuffed Cthulu!

Okay, not really from the Lovecraft Toyline, but giving this to a kid is borderline abuse. I've seen a 40" version at the local aquarium gift shop. That gave ME the heebs and the jeebs.

This entry title works really well sung to Heart's "Baracuda".
