If they were cycling cards, there'd be no sorting to do.

Yes, it is sad that you read Hi and Lois. Respectable rbr commentators
rely upon Family Circus for incisive critique of American society.

All family wisdom is contained in the Simpsons, though as a supplement
Family Circus and Bobmbeck aren't bad.

I thought all wisdom was contained within The Godfather?

Awesome I'd missed that and I'm a huge Lovecraft fan. He was a genius,
pure and simple.

I believe I've actually read everything he wrote. Tried to anyway. Funny, he
found horror in things I know to be benign, but there were a few that he found
that are just primal and not subject to individual experience.

Great stuff.

Howard Phillips Lovecraft (August 20, 1890 March 15,
1937) was a child prodigy. His childhood was marked by
several tragedies. Later he had immense difficulty coping
with the world at large. However he did correspond by
letter widely and at length.

I'm now reading some stuff of his that he didn't actually write -- a
collection of short stories with only his name on the outside but in
fine print in the inside it says they were all written by another guy.

This belongs in the "This is the Time for the Truth" thread with the
other examples of professions with rampant non-criminal fraud.
Or, conveniently disregarded truth. For ex, when a football player
disclaims some crazy-ass statement in his ghostwritten book by
saying he didn't write (or read) it, he's probably telling the truth,
yet up until that point everybody pretends like it's "his" book.

BTW, Lovecraft (the real one) had some creepy ideas about bigotry
against various religions, immigrants, etc. On the other hand, it's
not really that surprising given his ability to find something horrible
under every rock; in fact I wonder if the fear of the assault of Others
on the established world underlies both the beliefs and the fiction.

Sure does, they are part and parcel. I don't care who you are or how open-minded
and magnanimous, you know that there are people who are not as we. And you do
not know, cannot know what it is they do where you can't see. And this applies
to everyone.

HPL also found a fear in ancient forest and wild lands that came straight to New
England from Old England and is otherwise uncommon in America.
