598/600 Angell St.? I don't remember tour buses then, but maybe I just wasn't around at the right times.
I had the strangest roommates in that house :eek::eek::eek: -
“They seemed to be enormous, iridescent cones, about ten feet high and ten feet wide at the base, and made up of some ridgy, scaly, semi-elastic matter. From their apexes projected four flexible, cylindrical members, each a foot thick, and of a ridgy substance like that of the cones themselves. These members were sometimes contracted almost to nothing, and sometimes extended to any distance up to about ten feet. Terminating two of them were enormous claws or nippers. At the end of a third were four red, trumpet-like appendages. The fourth terminated in an irregular yellowish globe some two feet in diameter and having three great dark eyes ranged along its central circumference. Surmounting this head were four slender grey stalks bearing flower-like appendages, whilst from its nether side dangled eight greenish antennae or tentacles. The great base of the central cone was fringed with a rubbery, grey substance which moved the whole entity through expansion and contraction.”
All I could say when I came home was: “Iä! Shub-Niggurath! The Black Goat of the Woods with a Thousand Young!”
I did go see his grave in Swan Point Cemetery at one point. There were little plastic lizards and other creepy-crawlies on it.
H.P. Lovecraft, gone but not forgotten!
