Over at [livejournal.com profile] milliways_bar, where I play Detritus ([livejournal.com profile] sgt_rock) and Carcer ([livejournal.com profile] bottle_covey), a recent plot twist resulted in Oompa Loompas turning up to do some cleanup duty. Their usual didactic song included the line 'Please don't piss Nyarlathotep off.'

I started discussing this with [livejournal.com profile] chn_breathmint on AIM...

[livejournal.com profile] chn_breathmint: O_O oh my. Oompa loompas. *laughs*
[livejournal.com profile] camwyn: Milliways is basically the Crisis on Infinite Crossovers, so it's not really a surprise.
[livejournal.com profile] chn_breathmint: well. Oompa loompas and Lovecraft... make eerie sense
[livejournal.com profile] camwyn: Tiny, orange Deep One hybrids.
[livejournal.com profile] chn_breathmint: Yes!
[livejournal.com profile] chn_breathmint: ... The Shadow Over Innsmouth, right? but in a chocolate factory.
[livejournal.com profile] camwyn: It'd certainly explain the horrible fates the other children met.
[livejournal.com profile] camwyn: I'm reasonably sure the golden tickets were actually pages torn from something.
[livejournal.com profile] chn_breathmint: someone has got to write this.
[livejournal.com profile] camwyn: I don't know nearly enough Lovecraft. And anyway, the Wonderful Wizard of Mars has priority.
[livejournal.com profile] chn_breathmint: My fiance may do it now.
[livejournal.com profile] camwyn: More power to him, then!

At this point I raised the topic with some friends on a MUSH and got the following:

[livejournal.com profile] highdancer says, "Vernicious Knids baybe."
[livejournal.com profile] camwyn says, "The *real* Colour Out of Space."
[livejournal.com profile] jazzhandshimmer says, "And Willy Wonka?"
[livejournal.com profile] jazzhandshimmer says, "Just another name for... the Black Man? The Pharoah, Nyarlathotep?"
[livejournal.com profile] highdancer says, "The King in Chocolate."
[livejournal.com profile] camwyn says, "Well, let's just say that the non-Charlie kids met their varying horrible fates for a *reason*, and not just because they were annoying and a blight on the *SPRRRRRGH* Thank you for setting off a spit take even though I wans't drinking, [livejournal.com profile] highdancer."
[livejournal.com profile] highdancer says, "I live to please."

Relayed this to [livejournal.com profile] chn_breathmint back on AIM; response?
[livejournal.com profile] chn_breathmint: ... oh god. You win.
[livejournal.com profile] chn_breathmint: YOU WIN.

[livejournal.com profile] penguinzero says, "That is not fed which can eternal lie; and with strange sugars even sweets can die."
[livejournal.com profile] jazzhandshimmer says, "Ia! Ia! Gobstopper ftagn!"
[livejournal.com profile] highdancer says, "And Charlie, having presided over the ritualistic destruction of his opposition, takes his place at the right hand of Madness."

... SO. GOING. TO. HELL.
