It's hopeless as indeed "A mind is a terrible thing when wasted!" As in mushrooms?!?!?

Actually it was several human Very Bad Influences who came over to visit, + some fairly serious quantities of cheap vodka that I buy for them.

 

(For them! Yeah right! )

Me thinks that @AdamSmith possibly had a visit from @bigvalboy??? However, on second thought BVB would never be involved with "fairly serious quantities of cheap vodka"... "serious quantities" of top shelf vodka yes, but never the cheap variety! Specifically...

How the F&@k I could have written the previous post with Bigus Dickus still resonating in my mind I'll never know!!!!

And THAT (to be tiresomely repetitive ) is not the entire, but I hope & believe is one of the most valuable, enjoyable, and illuminating, circumstances we have set up here, and enact every day:

 

Cross-discipline epistemic correspondences.

That is where knowledge happens.

[AdamSmith]

of course it can also be interpreted of Mad Ludwig having a temper tantrum, but the thought of that can be quite comical in itself!

LMAO! Yes!!!

...Willett, though a small man, actually took on a kind of judicial majesty as he calmed the patient with a gesture.

 

http://www.hplovecraft.com/pics/PixelClear.gif“I have told no one. This is no common case—it is a madness out of time and a horror from beyond the spheres which no police or lawyers or courts or alienists could ever fathom or grapple with. Thank God some chance has left inside me the spark of imagination, that I might not go astray in thinking out this thing. You cannot deceive me, Joseph Curwen, for I know that your accursed magic is true!

http://www.hplovecraft.com/pics/PixelClear.gif“I know how you wove the spell that brooded outside the years and fastened on your double and descendant; I know how you drew him into the past and got him to raise you up from your detestable grave; I know how he kept you hidden in his laboratory while you studied modern things and roved abroad as a vampire by night, and how you later shewed yourself in beard and glasses that no one might wonder at your godless likeness to him; I know what you resolved to do when he balked at your monstrous rifling of the world’s tombs, and at what you planned afterward, and I know how you did it.

 

http://www.hplovecraft.com/pics/PixelClear.gif“You left off your beard and glasses and fooled the guards around the house. They thought it was he who went in, and they thought it was he who came out when you had strangled and hidden him. But you hadn’t reckoned on the different contents of two minds. You were a fool, Curwen, to fancy that a mere visual identity would be enough. Why didn’t you think of the speech and the voice and the handwriting? It hasn’t worked, you see, after all. You know better than I who or what wrote that message in minuscules, but I will warn you it was not written in vain. There are abominations and blasphemies which must be stamped out, and I believe that the writer of those words will attend to Orne and Hutchinson. One of those creatures wrote you once, ‘do not call up any that you can not put down’. You were undone once before, perhaps in that very way, and it may be that your own evil magic will undo you all again. Curwen, a man can’t tamper with Nature beyond certain limits, and every horror you have woven will rise up to wipe you out.”

 

http://www.hplovecraft.com/pics/PixelClear.gifBut here the doctor was cut short by a convulsive cry from the creature before him. Hopelessly at bay, weaponless, and knowing that any show of physical violence would bring a score of attendants to the doctor’s rescue, Joseph Curwen had recourse to his one ancient ally, and began a series of cabbalistic motions with his forefingers as his deep, hollow voice, now unconcealed by feigned hoarseness, bellowed out the opening words of a terrible formula.

 

http://www.hplovecraft.com/pics/PixelClear.gif“PER ADONAI ELOIM, ADONAI JEHOVA, ADONAI SABAOTH, METRATON. . . .”

 

http://www.hplovecraft.com/pics/PixelClear.gifBut Willett was too quick for him. Even as the dogs in the yard outside began to howl, and even as a chill wind sprang suddenly up from the bay, the doctor commenced the solemn and measured intonation of that which he had meant all along to recite. An eye for an eye—magic for magic—let the outcome shew how well the lesson of the abyss had been learned! So in a clear voice Marinus Bicknell Willett began the second of that pair of formulae whose first had raised the writer of those minuscules—the cryptic invocation whose heading was the Dragon’s Tail, sign of the descending node—

 

“OGTHROD AI’F

GEB’L—EE’H

YOG-SOTHOTH

‘NGAH’NG AI’Y

ZHRO!”

 

http://www.hplovecraft.com/pics/PixelClear.gifAt the very first word from Willett’s mouth the previously commenced formula of the patient stopped short. Unable to speak, the monster made wild motions with his arms until they too were arrested. When the awful name of Yog-Sothoth was uttered, the hideous change began. It was not merely a dissolution, but rather a transformation or recapitulation; and Willett shut his eyes lest he faint before the rest of the incantation could be pronounced.

 

http://www.hplovecraft.com/pics/PixelClear.gifBut he did not faint, and that man of unholy centuries and forbidden secrets never troubled the world again. The madness out of time had subsided, and the case of Charles Dexter Ward was closed. Opening his eyes before staggering out of that room of horror, Dr. Willett saw that what he had kept in memory had not been kept amiss. There had, as he had predicted, been no need for acids. For like his accursed picture a year before, Joseph Curwen now lay scattered on the floor as a thin coating of fine bluish-grey dust.

And I went to Mr. Smith's link not realizing that he was going to post quite a bit if it... I still think that it's the cheap vodka. Too much PVC poisoning from the cheap plastic bottles!

Indeed this is the current favorite!

 

 

Cheap, entirely adequate, and indeed comes in those PVC bottles!

 

The better not to drop & break, nor to get suicidal on and use the shards thereof to slash veins!

 

[AdamSmith]

P.S. Looking at that set and its stairway, one has to wonder why Barnabas felt he needed a house with an upstairs!

ROTFLMAO... now I know why the cheap stuff comes in plastic bottles. I always wondered why. As I mentioned recently in another thread, a few years ago someone actually gave me such a plastic bottle of Vodka as a gift. Of course it was intended for use in making Pasta alla Vodka. However on @bigvalboy's recommendation I will be trying Grey Goose next time that I make it! It's French and I'm sure Julia Child would have approved!

 

Also good to see that you are imbibing an all American product. Given the current climate I certainly would not recommend any Russian brand lest one be summarily acussed of collusion at best or treason at worst! Oh and by the way, if consumed with Russian caviar is automatically considered to be treason!

http://www.kwmwine.com/Images/Models/Full/1655.jpg

Oh, and I would not even be caught dead walking on the same side of the street as the Russian Tea Room in NYC. I guess that means no Carnegie Hall (they proudly say located slightly to the left of Carnegie Hall!) until further notice and especially if Rimsky-Korsakov and company not to mention Shostakovich is on the program! Stravinsky might be tolerated since he moved to the USA, but I still would not take my chances.

 

By the way my favorite line fron the Golden Girls is:

 

Rose's boyfriend Mike asks her if she would like to go to the University since they are playing Shostakovich.

Rose responds, "Do you think they'll win the game?"

Sorry, I'm having trouble sleeping tonight... plus "Smithitis" is contageous!

The Russian Tea Room! Quelle coincidence! While attending the 1993 Dark Shadows Festival at the Marriott Marquis, I made excursion to an umbrella shop directly across the street from said Tea Room to buy my very own Barnabas walking-stick!

 

A standard commercial product, as it turned out. Dan Curtis was ever a cheap bastard.

 

Although even there in '93 this product, whose wolf's-head handle is cast brass coated with German silver (a nickel/silver alloy), cost $399.

 

You can still buy it today, now $589: http://www.fashionablecanes.com/117.html

A long closed landmark in NYC was Patelson's Music that was located in NYC near Cargegie Hall. They primarily sold sheet music. I recall being in there when some old buzzard swept in there like some grand dame and said, "I vant ze complete Beethoven sonatas! Ze Schnabel edition!" She then stared down the clerk with look that only a former Nazi prison guard would be capable of. A look of terror came over the poor clerk... a gay guy (working in a classical music store now that's a strange one) if there ever was one... who scrambled obediently to fetch it for her off the shelf .

 

Of course the Schnabel edition of Beethoven... Beethoven didn't have certain notes on his piano but if he did he would have used then, so Herr Schnabel would rewrite those passages.

 

After she left said clerk and another likeminded clerk were discussing a certain venue where from their cryptic code words sexual events occurred. Since I was in my questioning days I was trying to overhear the conversation as I was looking over some scores. I recall them saying something to the effect that the price of admission was probably going directly to Mafia coffers.

Just like we are seeing a certain side of Mr. Smith Here!

You know I take no pains to hide any of my 11 sides.

[AdamSmith]

A walking stick! I should have known!

I in fact (of course ) have assembled a collection of them over the years, all but that Barnabas model discovered in various New England antique shops. My favorite may be the blackthorn stick.

 

These are branches that grow out and up from a low tree-shrub whose trunk is, conversely, used to make the shillelagh.

Does that apply to the G-String... and I'm referencing all types of G strings!

 

Only 11 sides??? Well you do have something in common with Popeyes's who at last count also had 11:
