All right, if you listened to the last episode (the 1st of the Innsmouth series) than you heard of Chad's idea of a story where HPL meets Hemingway. This sounded so great to me, that I want to read it! Chad said, this was just an idea, but if he would write it, we can expect something really weird, I guess. Do you agree? Do you want to read this story? Maybe read by the author in an extra special issue of the podcast? Chad is pretty busy, so we should not put the bite on good old Hollywood, but if we say: pleeeeeeease........ he might do it?  ? So, if you want HPL to follow a cat in Key West, meet Hemingway and watch a boxing match on the moon....say: pleeeeease |

That cracked me up. I'd love to read The Sun Also Rises in the Moon-Bog.

i am reminded of the part in evil dead when ash uses "farewell to arms" to hold down the zombie hand.
i hope the boxing match is between hemingway and the cat, the cat with a terrible expression on its face.

Funny, I was thinking The Moon Also Rises myself. If I might be so bold, don't bother writing it, but if you do, I am officially requesting you somehow listen to the old time radio series set in Havanna, Bold Venture, with Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall I think. They made a short lived television series out of it too, probably available for free on archive.org . Also, there is a Bugs Bunny episode called 8-ball (or Frigid Hare?) that plays around with Bold Venture themes. I'd also like some rabbits and UFOs included. Thank you. One more thing: Please read CIA Official History of Bay of Pigs Operation, http://cryptome.org/0005/cia-bop.zip(I realize this is all ahistorical: Bold Venture, the Bugs Bunny and Bay of Pigs episodes were all authored after HPL died. Nonetheless I think all of the above can provide better cultural background on pre-revolutionary Cuba than I Love Lucy. Thank you.) |

HPL Meets Papa would be flat awesome!
Seriously (or maybe, deliriously) though, what an odd pair they would make...

Somehow I can't picture Howard really enjoying going fishing for marlin or swordfish or whatever. He also wouldn't probably indulge in much rum drinking. I guess they could play pinochle at Ernie's beach house.

See I've always pictured Hemingway as the "stupid jock" archetype. Having said that, can you see him and HPL in the same room for more than a minute before Hemingway is being shunned by Providence Boy? I just don't see these two being anything other than instant enemies, with Lovecraft coming out with a bloody nose and broken glasses.

It might work if HPL were introduced to Hemmy as Leon Oswald, wore a matador's costume and didn't open his mouth. Just a thought.

I really don't think Papa would condescend to smacking HPL... Well, I mean if Papa was sober. Hem did crack Wallace Stevens in the jaw, breaking it, beacuse of something the latter said. Yeah, now that I think this over, maybe HPL better bring Two-Gun Bob with him, just in case things go south... |

I think he better bring Lauren Bacall and King Moses along as well, just to wrap things up right. There's a link over in the Lovecraft TV thread which should contain another link to something called Professor Peabody's Last Lecture, featuring the young HPL as a nerdy kid in the back of the class. I think they got his voice and manner about right, but who's to say.
