The farthest stretch...

ok, yeah so here it is.
why does a fish think of cheese? what possibility does a fish that hangs out near the ocean floor have of encountering cheese?

I dont know. but I think i may have found the inspiration for this rediculous puzzle.

after googling for "cheese ocean floor"

I got this at the top of my google results

Hello all, first time poster.... Hope I dont get anyone riled up with what I post, & I hope its all in a context relative to the thread. Just wanted to post some thoughts I had, to see if it might spark something in some of you out there.

I had not seen it posted elsewhere in this thread, but I could have missed something in my skimming of the 70ish some odd pages. There is a type of fish called Ganu Thora :

htttp://fishbase.mnhn.fr/ComNames/CommonNameSearchSpeciesList.cfm?CommonName=Ganu%20thora

I reference that because in his dream, Ganu was told to drink lots of the ingredient, & he changed from a small fish to a big whale.

Second, on the slusho front page, the fish that appears when you mouse over the 2nd & 6th "puddle" or drop (the one that says "fresh for you") is not a fish, but a whale. I am not sure if folks had been referring to it as a whale or fish, but I wanted to make the distinction in my post. When I was lookin at the page, I noticed it had the lines on its "chin", so I looked up whale, & found that the only types of whales with these "ventral pleats", are called rorquals. The previously mentioned pygmy whale is in this family of whales, as is a smaller whale, the northern minke whale. The baleen whales form a suborder of cetacea, called Mysticeti.

Link for the rorquals, & the whales in that family. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rorqual

pointless link showing a hand drawing of the whale & ventral pleats.

I ask that the readers here bear with me through the below info, & try to pick out any info that might be useful in other ways... I am just posting what sort of got pieced together this morning. First of all, I AM a Lovecraft fan, so I do want it to be something Lovecraftian, however, I am not bent on it being part of Lovecraft lore. This is pretty far reaching, I know... but it was just a line of thought that began in the shower, & something that very vaguely might fit together... bah, I dont know... I really feel dumb even posting it.. But

As I showered this AM, I was considering the slusho page, & synonyms for drinks that make a person feel refreshed, & I thought of the word tonic... I decided that I would go ahead & man-up & make a post about the whale/fish thing on the slusho page, & would mention the thing about the tonic as well. As I reviewed the info on the whale, & saw that it was of the suborder Mysticeti, I considered the idea that there is a river in mythical Arkham, Mass (made up town in Lovecraft lit) called the Miskatonic. So as a sort of "lets see" kind of thing, I went to check out the word "Ka" and found the wiki entry that states :

Wow... That is an intense bit of spec and research. Thanks for the contribution!

Grendl, there's a Lovecraft/Cthulhu inspired game that's being played right now that may interest you. It's called Eldridge Errors, and we're not so deep into the game that catching up would be difficult. Take a look... http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/index.php?f=219

[grendl]

Thanks Blue, I will check it out tying to learn the ropes here!

haha as soon as I saw the name of that ARG I knew it had to be Lovecraftian, who else uses the word "eldritch".
