I could not help reading that as "Emacs is one of the Great Old Ones"

It's...all so obvious now. The keystrokes, the barbarous keystrokes!
Ctrl-Alt-Double-Bucky-PENTAGRAM (U+26E4) - what are these but
invocations of Emacsthulhu who lies sleeping beneath 545 Tech Square,
until the dread day when the stars align and he rises to claim his
dominion?
