THE MORAL OF THE STORY

Everyone seems to have missed out on the point of the story, so I'll explain
it to you. The moral is: When the spell you're casting involves a virgin
sacrifice, MAKE DAMN SURE OF THAT VIRGIN!

What's a "Vergin?"

To: messpile;

A "vergin" is actually a virgin. My keyboard can't spell. Thanks for the
heads-up.

When I received this answer I decided to look up yer bio; I was surprised you are one of the older gents like me, tho' I am 5 years younger than yerself. I, too, am an inhaler of film though I enjoy great amounts of many different genres. Saw "Wild Geese" ages ago and don't remember much about it, but will keep you in mind if I can think of anything to add to that subject. Cheery bye for now.

Make damn sure of that virgin! Indeed.

I loved that scene where the millionaire villian gets eaten by Cthulhu. The actor portrayed it wonderfully. The expectant look his face as his daughter is grabbed by Cthulhu's tentacles for soon the sacrifice will be done and he will be made a God! When Cthulhu drops the daughter and the tentacles start snaking toward him he desperately leafs through the Necronomicon, trying to do something ANYTHING to avoid being the sacrifice himself. No such luck, as he is grabbed up and dragged toward the Old One's vile maw, screaming all the way. Then, finally, *gulp*, and Cthulhu has had his fill and disappears for another 600 odd years. I liked this movie alot. I slightly preferred Stuart Gordon's 2001 movie "Dagon" as a cinemtaic interpretation of Lovecraft, but CADS was good all the same.

Very true.

Cthulhu was just being facetious there - no way was Hackshaw more virgin than his daughter!...
That, or he missed the basic concept of choosing the lesser of two evils. Deep One my foot.

That wasn't Cthulhu. That was an aspect of Yog-Sothoth, in other words, an extremely powerful Outer God. Also, Cthulhu isn't a Deep One but is instead a Great Old One. Deep Ones are essentially humanoid mermen similar to the Gill-man from Creature From the Black Lagoon.

That's true, ...but see, with "Great Old One" or "Outer God" my pun wouldn't have worked at all. Plus, Great Old or Outer or Deep or Supercalifragilistic One, Cthulhu or Yog-Sothoth or Bumbleth-Beeth, he still rejected a non-virgin young female only to go on his merry way with a thoroughly deflowered elderly gentleman
