Is Ligotti Responsible for This?

I just came across this article and wondered if Ligotti might have something to do with it. Perhaps he will weigh in.

Seattle's mystery soda machine button provides a refreshing conundrum in Capitol Hill.

I think if Ligotti were responsible for it, it would dole out something a bit more nefarious than cans of soda ;)

Re: Is Ligotti Responsible for This?

- Don't be too sure; while the drinks dispensed are indistinguishable in taste and appearance to the discontinued 'OK Soda', if one looks closely at the miniscule text outside the can it can be seen that 'The Great Black Swine Which Wallows in a River of Blackness' is referenced numerous times, and some patrons are reporting seeing the phrase 'When you hear the singing you will know it is time" on the bottom of the can after they have finished their drinks. . .

If it offers a permanent state of euphoria, give me a bottle.

This is a total waste of time.

I know some people think a waste of time is actually worth it. To each their own.

Re: Is Ligotti Responsible for This?

It seems you do prefer Pepsi, Mark.

Your fall should be like the fall of mountains. But I was before mountains. I was in the beginning, and shall be forever. The first and the last. The world come full circle. I am not the wheel. I am the hand that turns the wheel. I am Time, the Destroyer. I was the wind and the stars before this. Before planets. Before heaven and hell. And when all is done, I will be wind again, to blow this world as dust back into endless space. To me the coming and going of Man is as nothing.
