    It's kind of hard to tell the size of the thing with all the non-Euclidean geometry going on, down there.

    From this point on any time I read a Lovecraft story it will be in a bored Scottish accent.

    *mutters something incomprehensible about The Cats of Ulthuar.*

    Oh my, this is brilliant.
    Never heard of Burnistoun until today.
    This is sheer quality humour.
    Thanks for posting this.

    This made me laugh way too hard... The 'Cats of Ulthar' reference sent me over the top.

    Nah, they taken to moon by cats, a la Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath. The writers knew what they were doing here!

      Thanks for that translation, I couldn't understand what he said for the life of me. Something about being taken off in carts...

    This is the BEST - satire but not without some real respect for Lovecraft's work.

    I'm pretty sure the "Taken to the moon by cats" is a nod to the Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath. Just a guess.

    It's funny how He genuinely speaks of paranormal occurrences of an evil and malevolent presence/force in His home basement, as if it's something like a mad neighbour shouting loudly, like something that You should report to the council! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂
    Like, for example, it's like imagining Satan appearing from the abyss of Hell, only just to buy something out of a local convenience store and making a packet of crisps the most Godly thing in the universe! 😂😂😂

    I think the pyramid head was a nod to the character from the Silent Hill series of games. Both Ian Connell and Robert Florence are big gaming fans, they used to have their own gaming review show called ConsoleVania.

    If an unspeakable eldritch horror makes home in your basement, register a complaint with your housing association.
    Burnistoun S02E06 - There's an unnamable, unimaginable thing in my basement and I want it punted. A few months ago, I complained about the noise next door. A maddening, chanting in an unspeakable eldritch tongue that would drive you insane just to hear it, but that's done with ever since the neighbors were taken to the moon by cats. But this thing in my basement is a sort of unnamable creeping monstrosity. It's kind of hard to tell the size of the thing in the basement with all the non-Euclidean geometry and all. I'd say it's probably... Cyclopean in scale. Immeasurably huge such that it would blacken your very eyes with madness. An unnameable eldritch horror beyond the mind's comprehension. This thing is ...inconceivable.

    If it's Lovecraftian then I'm not sure a standard tenancy agreement is appropriate.

    So this is not where to go when people suffer from eldritch abominations and lovecraftian horrors
    Dammit I was hoping to get rid of mine. There’s this creepy ass clown that somehow knows my fears and worst nightmares, a monster that came from a strange place that looks upside down, a tall faceless man with tentacles, a pyramid shaped demonic trickster, a demonic sentient flower, unseen creatures that make people commit suicide wherever I go, a tall blackish purple humanoid made of squares and rectangles, and then there’s Cthulhu who keeps asking me stupid questions. Maybe I should move out of my neighborhood then.
