H.P. Lovecraft wrote horror stories revolving around dread elder beings like Cthulhu and Shub Niguroth. Those stories inspired the role playing game Call of Cthulhu. One of the identifying characteristics was Sanity abbreviated as san. Run out of san and your character goes insane from the horror.

We're having a bit of a gathering this weekend, should be fun. Several of the guys from R'lyeh are stopping by. A few are bringing some Shoggoth. Hopefully the Byakhee don't crash like last time, that was a mess.

i had a headache yesterday. Well, i still have one, but I also have one of my mums superstrong painkillers swimming about my system so I don't care much!

yes, i know its wrong to take other people prescription medication. Its not something I make a habit of, i'm just tired of these infernal constant headaches!

uh, no, sadly, not a euphemism - i mean literally to make Tiffin. Its a nummy cake type thing with raisins and crushed digestive biscuits in a chocolaty mix. Its very nice - try it, very simple. 4oz butter (don't use margerine yeurgh) 2 tablespoons of sugar, 2 tablespoons of golden syrup, 4 teaspoons of cocoa powder,handful of raisins and 8 oz digestive bicuits. melt the butter, sugar, syrup and cocoa powder in a pan over a low flame, add the raisins and the broken up digestive biscuits (the secret is to have lumps of the right size - about the size of your thumb nail)put into a flat cake pan. Melt 8oz of cooking chocolate and spread out over the top of the mix, refridgerate but before you eat it let it warm just a little. Cut into slices.

then make yourself a cup of tea, call 911 for an ambulance, sit back and enjoy!

theres also a varient where you can use rice krispies to make a kind of soft crisy cake - not tried it with corn flakes, interesting...

I've just realised though that you probably can't buy digestive biscuits, lyle's golden syrup, rice krispies or kellogs cornflakes in the states. um, you'll have to come to england.

Rice Krispies and Kellog's Cornflakes are both one hundred percent A - meri - can. (Plant in Battle Creek Michigan) Plus I live in a pretty honkin' big city full of immigrants from European shores so I know I can find the other things what you mention. Digestive biscuits I know are in the supermarket just down Harlem avenue and I'll bet I can find the syrup stuff without looking very hard too. But yes I really ought to go to England at some point.
