5. Georgie's DUI citation

for starters.

Or, perhaps in the interests of irony, Clinton's presidential private parts - use them agaisnt those who would use them against us. Behold the power of the mighty....okay, perhaps I'm getting a litle carried away here. Forget the whole idea - Freepers don't do irony, anyway.

The best answer to this question is found in Lovecraft's tale "The Call of Cthulhu". Cthulhu is a monstrous entity who lies "dead but dreaming" in the city of R'lyeh, a place of non-Euclidean madness presently (and mercifully) sunken below the depths of the Pacific Ocean. Cthulhu appears in various monstrous and demonic forms in early myths of the human race. Racial memory preserves Him as humanity's most basic nightmare. Cthulhu is the high priest of the Great Old Ones, unnatural alien beings who ruled the Earth before humanity formed, worshipped as gods by some misguided people. It is said that They will return, causing worldwide insanity and mindless violence before finally displacing humanity forever.

His current incarnation as a plush figure is very popular, especially with evil DUers.
