Googling: November

Another month, another group of people of came to BSD and were disappointed. Seeing as we here at BSD want to spread happiness and good cheer this holiday season, we have answered your prayers! Thank us by coming back to read our actual articles.

"Tentacle rape" derivative of the month: "lovecraftian tentacle monster". This rape necessarily, but too good to pass up.

1. "I hate ohio" - thirteen of these this month, I really wish we could help.

2. "bsd games grue" - I found this, but I can't find Zork.

3. "'all that listening to wagner' wilde" - According to Wikiquote, Wilde uses "Wagnerian" in The Important of Being Earnest. But, I believe you want the unofficial treatment.

4. "(pennywise) it" - So this is why people are afraid of clowns.

5. "aquarium filtration systems" - I'd recommend a basic hanging filter for most people. It's a good idea to get one rated for a bigger tank than the one you have just to be safe. You can get pretty good prices on them online if you search around.

6. "calb humbert" - I think this is one of Caleb's pseudonyms.

7. "chewing the fat I smell shite" - Um... moving on.

8. "fight between edward and james" - No, Twilight fans, you do not get to refer to these characters by their first name in a Google search. BSD will not allow it!

9. "greek mythology monster with six heads and ten tentacles" - I assume you're talking about Scylla or a hydra, but neither of them had tentacles, at least how they are usually portrayed. Krakens have tentacles, but those are Norse.

10. "growing up creepy" - I think you're talking about the X-Files episode "Home".

11. "hansel and gretel" - Two children get sent into the forest because their mother is evil and their father is an idiot. They put down bread crumbs to mark their trail, proving genetics, which birds eat. They find a gingerbeard house and begin eating it. The owner, a witch, invites them inside, planning to cook them. A woodsman comes along and throws her in the oven.

12. "ice castles theme" - This looks awful, but I'm just judging by the CD cover.

13. "introduction to objectivist epistemology pamphlet" - You know, good idea. Just read this instead of Atlas Shrugged. Or... you know what? Read a real philosopher. Pick up Locke's Second Treatise on Civil Government or Adam Smith's The Wealth of Nations or better yet, go read something by John Kenneth Galbraith and discover that the only purpose in life isn't accumulating as much shit as you can. Who are you? Smaug?

14. "led zeppelin fish rape" - I swear I already talked about this, but here is the story via Snopes.

15. "mario villain reznor" - Yes! Reznor is awesome, though I'm not sure that's necessarily his name and I wouldn't call him a "villain" per se. A ferris wheel of triceratops spewing fireballs, sure, but a villain?

Reznor!

16. "ray price for the good times" - Ever heard of youtube?

17. "starwars shield robot" - That would be a Destroyer Droid, of "Where are those Droidekas?!" fame.

18. "vincent price hypnotizes" - Yes he does.

I could stare into those eyes forever

This is so funny! I've GOT to figure out how to check these google searches for my blog too.
I got here through searching "japanese tentacle art images".

I had no idea "tentacle rape" was such a big deal! I just happened to be putting together a post about the kiss between Fred Kwan and Laliari in "Galaxy Quest"--you may know (?) Laliari's some sort of cephalopd, and I got remembering the Japanese octopus sex print which I know of NOT through sci-fi/fantasy stuff but through an Art History class I took 25 years ago... but couldn't remember it's name.
So, imagine my surprise at all the goodies Google tossed my way.

If you don't already know it, Poulpe Pulps

has a lot of great old octopus pulp art.

Keep up the good work!
