I have a Vote for the Greater of All Evils - Cthulhu t-shirt, that I wore to matches during the election.
BTW, the Laundry Series of novels by Charles Stross has an British secret agency that fights the Great Old Ones. Presently, the USA government is in the process of being taken over by Cthulhu while the UK is in the hands of Nyarlathotep. The agency is trying to undo this.
Their issue sidearms are:
Glock 17s that are invisible to the nonmagical public for accidental CCW exposure and loaded with banishment rounds for various supernaturals.
Cell phones that have a Basilisk app that if you take a picture of someone or thing, it turns carbon to silicon. So you are stone.
Hands of Glory.
Pretty good stories.
***Total thread derail alert***
A buddy of mine who is an experienced shooter has a "crazy Uncle". His starting loads are usually the top end loads in the manual, rocks and dynamite if you will. Crazy Uncle brings his .44 Mag to the range and hands it to my buddy to try it out. My buddy fires 1 round and puts it down. Uncle says he put 6 in so there's still 5 rounds left to fire. My buddy says "I fired it twice."
Uncle says "No, you only fired once!"
"No, I fired it twice. The first time and the LAST time!"
