Abdul Alhazred (author of the Al Azif/Necronomicon).  The game has nothing
to do with HPL, but it's pretty nifty.  Thought you might want to know.

HAAAHHAAHEHAEHEHEHEHEEEHAAHAAA!!!!  Oh.  Oh my.  Excuse me.  

The NECROMONICON immediately made me think of the NECMORONICON, a book made
infamously famous by P.H. Loveycraft as an incredible collection of naughty
limericks.  Of course, the NECROMONICON, written by I.O. Craftyboy, was a
vastly different text having to do mainly with "the dead idols of men".  
Neither of these books is to be confused, of course, with the MICRONEMICON,
or the MACROECONOMICS textbook.  
The Necronomicon, however, a completely fictional text, was indeed invented
by the author Howard Phillips Lovecraft, but never as an entire text, (i.e.
the little copies in Waldenbooks that summon the fire demon have nothing to
do with it) existing only as a literary device, though many silly people 
believe such a thing exists somewhere.

Hi, all.

I'm currently reading the Illuminatus! trilogy, and it's got some references
to Lovecraft/the Necronomicon.  Thusly, one could use the Necronomicon, 
possibly, in some sort of similar ultra-conspiracy game, either using
GURPS Illuminatus, your own system, or perhaps a varient of Corps.

As for 'Draconomicon', it's basically a latin mega-word for
'the book of the names of the dragons', much as 'Necronomicon' is
'the book of the names of the dead'.

BTW: anyone else see 'Evil Dead 2'?  It borrowed some by lovecraft,
and included in it a 'Necronomicon' which didn't really have much
to do with lovecraft, but had a lot to do with the dead.  Pretty fun
to watch, I thought.

It is a ficticious(?) work often referred to in the works of HPL. 
Several people have since written their own versions, which are widely
available in bookstores. Supposedly a "mad arab" babbles the story to
him, and it is written as the Necronomicon. Or something like that.
Everyone please feel free to correct my mistakes...

I didn't know dragons have any names at all. People may need names,
dragons don't.

i'm not sure how old the episodes of Roseanne you are watching are, (i
don't even watch regularily)...BUT...  Arnie's (Tom Arnold--Roseanne
Barr's husband) ex-wife Nancy (Sandra Bernhardt) has come out as a
lesbian.  (i read in an interview w/her that they considered making her
lovers with Jackie, but thought that would be *too* obvious).  i think
that Jackie's character is remaining hetero.  As far as Roseanne's boss
(another clue to old episodes--Roseanne & Jackie have their own diner now)
is concerned, his character came out in a poker game that Dan gave.  (as
well as many previous allusions)....

as far as darlene being gay...no indications on the show of her character
being gay... and if Sarah Gilbert (darlene) were gay, i'd be writing her
love letters....

lets here it for _Roseanne_ for dealing with homosexuals as real people,
and not as freaks... (ditto Northern Exposure)  and boo! to _Melrose
Place_ for making Matt fairly shallow...plus not giving him any storylines
*not* having to do with his homosexuality...AND for not giving him a
lover.  if they are going to constantly point at his homosexuality and
make an issue out of it, at least *show* him kiss a man or something!  i
feel the message _MP_ gives that it's "ok" to be gay in *theory*, but
don't practice!  it's tabboo!

it reminds me what a grew-up-catholic friend of mine told me once...
in religion class at one time they told him that the catholic church
"recognizes" and "accepts" homosexuality (read: in theory), but that
having sex without thoughts and intention of procreation is a sin.

When we recruit (if, indeed we do) it is a curruption of innocence.
When  a religeon recruits it is 'enlightenment'.  I fail really to
see much difference as both (by the nature of religeon) involve sex.

But evangwelicals do not have it all their own way, here in Britain when
'a decade of evangalism' was decreed it got very strong negative
reactions
from jews and muslims and got a fair pounding in a couple of papers.
Apparently other religeons view christians stealing worshippers in
much the same way that 'conservitives' views gays 'recruiting'.

It is all to do with accusing others of doing what you yourself are 
doing in the hope no one will notice you are being a raving 
hypocrite.

Personally I think worship is fine if you choose the right object.

Like.... me, for example.  I would make a fabulous god.  Funny, handsome
liberal and not at all religeous in any common sense.

When I read a direct email response to my posting on Lesbian Songs it became
apparent that I had done a stupid thing.  I did not indicate my sex.  I am
male.  I apologize for that and to correct for future postings I now have
my name on the top in the "From:" section.

To reply to alekz' response on k.d. lang, in the letter I was told that yes
k.d. lang discussed the subject on a gay magazine.  I assume she came out in
the magazine.  Darlene (I think she has a fierce attractive personality to her)
and Jackie are suspect.  I had heard that Jackie had come out in real life
and Darlene is supposed to come out on the "Roseanne " show sometime.  That is
why I ask.  By the way did you see January 4th Roseanne show where Roseanne's
boss is alluded to be gay ?  I think this shows that her show will soon
address the gay issue which could mean that Jackie or Darlene (or both) come
out.
I asked about Sophie B Hawkins because she has many references to mother
in her songs and in "Damn I wish I was your lover" one lyric went:
"I lay by the ocean making love to her".  Now this could be a reference to
nature and becoming raptured with nature before returning to her lover, but
I am prone to believe that she is in love with a woman who is involved with
a man that abuses her.  

Thank you very much for your replys,

Heya Trey!

I tried to e-mail you at your address, and it _bounced_ too!  I seem 
to have someone on the east coast really hating me, since this problem
occurs all the time going out there! I took a look at some headers from
