well, maybe birds aren’t such a good subject for lovecraft horror but lets roll with it. Nice literary workout Dolan and thanks for deleting my comment

you exile guys sure have a thick skin…

I wrote most of the interesting and correct “lit-crit” bits in the the Lovecraft Wikipedia article, I’m a big sucker for the “hideous world.”

Interesting comment about the turtles though.

“Yunghalm relates that he saw in Java a plain far as the eye could reach entirely covered with skeletons, and took it for a battlefield; they were, however, merely the skeletons of large turtles, five feet long and three feet broad, and the same height, which come this way out of the sea in order to lay their eggs, and are then attacked by wild dogs (Canis rutilans), who with their united strength lay them on their backs, strip off their lower armour, that is, the small shell of the stomach, and so devour them alive. But often then a tiger pounces upon the dogs. Now all this misery repeats itself thousands and thousands of times, year out, year in. For this, then, these turtles are born. For whose guilt must they suffer this torment ? Where fore the whole scene of horror? To this the only answer is : it is thus that the will to live objectifies itself.”

eXile was. Exiled sure as hell ain’t.
