I too lurked for quite a while before surfacing years ago. Welcome to these hallowed halls of discussion, scholarship, debate both intelligent and the other kind, and many other things.

If i were a little monkey near any ibis-headed gods, i would worry about being eaten (ibises prey on small vertebrates), but monkeys sometimes know many clever tricks to avoid this. I'm sure your forum name foretells great things as to your participation here since you have avoided this fate.

(n.b.: in before Jamie B's Freaks  (or Ramones? or both?) ritual chant- nyah-nyah, my Frater, though i am sure you will be along presently to join me in greeting the small simian who has joined us!)

Uh-oh. I'm holding my prana, hoping it doesn't start again.

as there has been far too much of that sort of thing of late.

As to your kind reference: actually, when i was a Boy Scout, I was a member of the Lucidity Patrol at good old Troop 23 in Arkham back when dad was teaching Econ at Miskatonic U.; I have actually often passed the night in the eldritch New England woods. At Scout camp-outs, the competition with Karma Patrol (our arch-rivals) could grow intense.
