BS: The horrors of qwuaification!!!

It's awful. Just terrible. It's worse than Shatnerization. It's worse than cooties. It's just so, sooo nasty!

Read about it in this excerpt from the Necronomicon, courtesy of the H.P. Lovecraft Foundation which has preserved a copy of this forbidden text...a copy available for perusal only to a chosen few.

"His battered corpse had completely qwuaified, due to the hideous effects of the corroding green slime spray of the inchoate, formless monsters that had risen unexpectedly from the nethermost pits of Thoth and brought about his final, cluminating, and most dreadful end!"   (from the Necronomicon, Chapter 6,666, Verse 782) - Abdul Alhazred, the Mad Arab

I think that should be "culminating", not "cluminating". Probably a misprint. But...perhaps not. You never know with this sort of thing.   (shudder!) I shall not sleep well tonight.

Sharma's consciousness was still encoated in the trunk of the tall, interwoven weed of a swamp tree, that rose ebiulliently from the depths of the swamp pit of Thoth. As a tree dryad, the breath of the fuzzing air that arose through the putrifying slooze ebbed and flowed through her tentacle-weeded arms. Sharma could feel his presence abating, as his being ebbed and flowed through the night mists of Thoth.

The darkness is creeping in around my dwelling. Strange, furtive sounds seem to echo somewhere at the vague edges of the night where hearing drifts into lurid ghostly vestiges of a haunted imagination. Somewhere in the distance soft, sibilant footpads trespass upon the vacant borders of these nameless lands. Footpads that stalk an unnamed prey...and speak of a foul and horrific purpose!

to open the black pages is to allow the entry of that dark, terrifying shadow - better to have never known - ignorance is peace, knowingness is to live with an everlasting fear, to know the evil is always poised, on stilettos!

Bull pooties.

I have a copy of the Necronomicon right here. I got it in a small shop in Arkham, Massachusettes. It's stamped right on the back, "Property of the Yog Sothof Memorial Library. Bound pellagra humanorum by Chthulu Bindery -- 'Chthulu: Bound To Be A Better Binding'."

It's just a book -- why would you think otherwise? And a library discard at that.

Qwuaification used to worry me when I was a young cadet in Starfleet. I was afraid that I would become qwuaified in the course of duty, and fail my ship and my fellow crewmates. I used to lose sleep over it. A mere 15 years later I had risen to command of a starship. I had faced mortal combat with lizard men, battled Klingons, and locked lips with green-skinned girls. Now nothing qwuaifies me. Nothing. I am beyond qwuaification. You can probably manage this too. After all, I did it. All you really need is steely determination, a strong sex drive, and an unremitting desire to go boldly where no man has gone before. Or woman... I certainly wouldn't want to be accused of being "sexist" in these enlightened times. Not me. No sir.

Qwuaification? Ha! I laugh in the face of qwuaification.

It's sad to see how many bogus copies of the old Necronomicon there are around. It's only available in Latin or Arabic, you chittering fools!!

Actually, my copy is written in some sort of eldritch script that's neither Latin nor Arabic. The book is clearly stamped on the title page that it was withdrawn from the Yog-Sothoth Memorial Library in Kadath.

The reason given for the withdrawal is "No circulation for 6,000 years" but geez, that's gotta be wrong. Six years, maybe.

Come to think of it, I had at qwuaify on the rifle range in the Army. And I've qwuaified in several other areas since then. Some qwuaificationings were pretty horrible.

Qwuaification is possibly the only thing worse than having a big wad of bubble gum stuck to the bottom of your shoe, but it kinda depends on how expensive the shoes are.

With regard to an alternate meaning for the word "quiff" around here, I had an experience of being quifficated one night that I will remember with a smile and a drop or two of drool in my dotage.

It's not "quiffication", Cluin, it's "qwuaification". That's a whole different ballgame.
