To your first question, the first thing I remember about the story is the opening line:
"The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age."
The most interesting thing to me is the was Our Dread Lord communicated to the various individuals and groups throughout the story. Additionally, the actual description of the Cult's rite in Louisiana. They stick out quite vividly in my mind. Finally, I think the nature of Lord Cthulhu himself.
By His loathsome tentacles!

Thanks for sharing, Ikaros. I recognize that you have awakened! the power of metal within you.
