I really do rather wish my brain would keep certain things readily available. For instance, the fact that people were using the word 'mythos' long before HP Lovecraft's work hit the market, and that they are still using it, and that it has no ingrained relation to his stuff whatsoever.

That being said I still don't think it's a good idea for a restaurant to name its turkey panini sandwich the Mythos. It's a case of either anticipated tentacles or serious hubris, and neither one ever ends well.

In our restaurant the sandwiches eat you!

Sorry-I just had to say that.

You shouldn't have to make a SAN roll to finish lunch unless you're at the Jekyll and Hyde Club, dammit.

I think, the only foodstuff that could ever come close to deserve a name like mythos should contain either

- squid / octopus

or

- ginormous amounts of chocolate, sugar, whipped cream, sweet stuff, nother kind of chocolate, fudge and be topped with sugar and chocolate. Preferably one or more fruits as well. Desserts can have wonky names, sandwiches not so much.

Are you sure he doesn't work at the Cat and Shoggoth? It sounds like Grandma Gala's work.

When I think of Mythos and things fit for human consumption, the first thing I think of is a dodgy Greek lager by that name.
