...one PVC patio chair, 14 chair feet, one flowerpot, one umbrella base, two bike tires, 30 cans, many pieces of PVC pipes, one acrylic globe lights, some car body parts, a few pieces of garden hoses and about 1,000 devoured human souls.I think the human souls thing was supposed to be a joke. Now, let's gather junk from around the house and make our own. Then when we're finished we can look at our creation and realize what a shitty job we've done because he have no business trying to make our own Cthulhu sculptures. I'll still make all my guests look at it, but I won't be proud. You know those painting classes that groups of girlfriends go to where they all paint the exact same flowery scene?

See, bigots? Slopes work both ways.

Imagine going on a fishing trip with your buddies. Beers are had. Jokes are tossed. Fish are caught. And then a killer whale pops up out of nowhere to steal the halibut you just snagged to scare the hell out of you and give you an awesome story to tell.
