hm, Australia... thus the name moz, of course, i should have guessed. that makes it rather far for a bit of book conversion among friends, but if by some completely unforeseen circumstance i *do* ever find myself in your neighborhood i will definitely say hello, thanks for the invitation ! please don't offer me any shrimp though (i've heard australians like shrimp...), they give me the creeps.

This could be more tied to my scanty knowledge of the man, but his name seems like something that sound dirty, like the French are having us on about throwing a word like 'poop' or some blue phrase into everyday conversation, but I suspect it truly is innocous, like "Le Poisson! Le Poisson!"
That sounded so dirty in the Little Mermaid.
(Probably because of that suggestive chortle that Frenchmen make which I am loath to replicate via onomatopoeia. That, and who doesn't find a redheaded mermaid irresistible?)

(after lengthy inner debate, decide not to spoil whatever sulphurous ideas the name Toulouse-Lautrec seems to evoke for Cthulhu by any further exposition, especially since if nothing else the lifestyle of the man himself is ample justification (and probably went beyond anything Cthulhu has imagined). am nonetheless sorely tempted to request onomatopoeic transcription of alleged "french chortle" ; very intriguing. highly amused by suggestive qualities of french language in apparently even its most banal manifestations to certain non-francophone ears. highly impressed by power even of mere mention of red hair to put Cthulhu in such a state. suddenly quite curious as to whether *all* men react this way. must do informal survey at least among friends.)
