pallas_athenaTruly, we live in an age that begets monsters.
Exhibit A: The Carrot Of Omen. This little beastie was in a bunch I picked up from my local farmer's market. I brought it to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
velvetdahlia's birthday party because I knew that none would be more able than she to say what exactly this carrot forebodes. (Also because she is one of the few people to whom you can say "Happy birthday! I brought you a mutant vegetable.") She is still, I believe, trying to divine its meaning through the art of REALALEOMANCY.
Exhibit B: In one of her more deranged experiments,esdi_leanne has created a giant squid. Not content with this unnatural exploit, she has SHARED HER TECHNIQUE with the scientific community at large, so that these results may be duplicated in any research facility. I need hardly remind you of what might happen if this information fell into the wrong tentacles.
Exhibit C: It should therefore come as no surprise that H. P. Lovecraft has taken to writing about chocolate.

Tune in next week, gentle readers. And remember, be vigilant!
