Did H.P. Lovecraft play for the other team?

What's the general opinion on this?-

[EstimatedProphet]

1. Depends on the sport...

[raccoon]

2. Go on... Maybe I should've posted this in science fiction forum. nt

[Iggo]

3. There's a science fiction forum?

Damn, this place is huge.

Their home field is R'lyeh Stadium in the Mountains of Madness. Their team song is sung to the tune of "When The Saints Go Matching In":

Ia! Ia! Cthulu fhtagn!
Ia! Ia! Cthulu fhtagn!
Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn
Ia! Ia! Cthulu fhtagn!

7. Are you asking if H. P. Lovecraft was of the homosexual persuasion?

I hadn't heard that.

[raccoon]

10. Yes. nt

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

11. I don't think so.

He was married for a bit, but was otherwise just kind of eccentric and reclusive. It doesn't appear he did much playing for either team.

9. Which one? The Packers?

(so says the MN native and Vikings fan)

13. Eccentric and not straight don't necessarily go hand in hand.

I point to myself as a prime example... I'm weird as hell, and I... well, I MOSTLY go for women... :)

Seriously though, that is a rather annoying stereotype. There are plenty of straight-laced normal people who are 100% gay, and plenty of eccentrics who are 100% straight.
