As a light rain falls from the dark clouds overhead, The Great Cthulhu stands under the Radio City Music Hall marquee, a broad grin spread wide across his green tentacled face. Seven enormous golden keys tucked under his wing, The Great Cthulhusteps up onto a raised platform and begins to speak.

In this life we have the opportunity to do great things. We can achieve whatever goals we set for ourselves. Nothing is out of reach. As long as one has the will and the desire one can surmount any obstacle. I stand in front of you this evening as proof. I've had a lot of help along the way, and the wisdom of so many trusted and valuable friends. Perhaps the greatest lesson that I have learned in my time is that when people help you, they do it from their hearts. Not out of some sense of obligation or quest for personal gain. They do it because they want to. I've been blessed in so many ways. One of these ways is that I now have the opportunity to pass along my appreciation on a larger scale, so to speak.

It is my distinct pleasure, at this time, to present a key to the City of New York to Squishy, Mario, Popcorn, Nessie, OneDropOfChaos, Mikus, Ganelon, and Anubis in appreciation for all that you do for us. The Gods give their time and considerable talents freely to us, and sometimes we forget how much we depend upon them. Being a God is hard and sometimes thankless work. The hours are long and the problems never ending. Thank you all for blessing our lives and taking such great care of us. Nothing but love in my heart.

Please accept these keys to the city in the spirit intended. As symbols of appreciation and gratitude. Thank you all.

The Great Cthulhu reaches behind him and sheepishly produces two more keys. They're made out of GOLD for petes sake. Can't blame a man for trying.

A grave error has been made, and I omitted two very important Gods, FullMetal and Mikus.

Apologies to the two of you for not recognizing you along with the others. Sometimes The Great Cthulhu drinks to much and looses his place. Please forgive me.

It was actually FullMetal whom I called upon for help a few days ago. My prayers were immediately answered and I was visited by a miracle. Leaving them off is a terrible oversight on my part and I want everyone to give them their due as well.

Squishy, FullMetal, Mario, Popcorn, Nessie, OneDropOfChaos, Mikus, Ganelon, and Anubis, in recognition of all that you do we salute you.

Much love and respect to all of you.

Damn, I could never ever have said that better... Cheers!
