   chucky says Heh. Haha, I saw those all the time before I moved and I never saw them as bloody handprints. I must be slipping. I know I'll never see them any other way now though. Is that a real license plate? And, good god, I hate to ask this, but there is only one other place I've ever heard Cthulhu mentioned and that's on fark. Please don't tell me you're a farker.

   fairportfan says Not only am i not a "farker", i have no idea what it is, and, from your comment, no desire to know. Cthulhu (as the Wiki link i posted up there and "*again here*":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cthulhu will tell you) is one of the Great Old Ones of the "Cthulhu Mythos" (that's his portrait up there in the original post), a cycle of stories written by "*H.P.Lovecraft*":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lovecraft, "*Robert Bloch*":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Bloch (writer of Psycho), "*August Derleth*":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derleth, "*Clark Ashton Smith*":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clark_Ashton_Smith, "*Robert W. Chambers*":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_W._Chambers and other "*Weird Tales*":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weird_Tales writers, and numerous others since (I've even had a go at it myself, with a nicely creepy [if i do say so myself] story set in the North Carolina hills...) GIven that eating people is one of the less-objectionable of the Great Old Ones' tendencies, the "Kids First" and red handprints take on a nicely macabre tinge. (Robert Bloch, when accused of being a horrid man, based on the things he wrote, used to reply "Why, I have heart of sixteen-year-old boy. "It's pickled in alcohol on my desk.") (I used to have a bumper sticker - "Campus Crusade for Cthulhu - It found Me.")

   dermahrk says Being familiar with Lovecraft, I got it immediately, but obviously the people at the DMV did not. What a macabre hoot! It reminds me of the Pennsylvanian who ordered a license plate (which I saw) which read "MYBED". Ok, until you realize that the slogan at the top of all PA plates at the time was "You've got a friend in". Not as good as this, but still amusing.
