Yo Athena! I really am sorry about the mess on the shield, but after all this time, you should know that ambrosia gives me tummy rumbles. NOW may I return to perching on your shoulder? A little newspaper ought to do the trick, and I’ll even keep my talons clipped. M’kay?
Oh, by the way, I’m down to one jar of Alfredo sauce from 18. Thanks for the recipies.
Do I count? Do you have to be a good deity or just have worshippers?
OOOH look! Bubo’s back… 
The temple is nice and all, but I’d prefer to see something more along the lines of what Detroit does - y’know, the riots and all. It’s really too bad about the whole NHL thing, I’d just about worked out a deal with the Red Wings involving divine intervention during the playoffs in exchange for a minimum of 3 fans (2, if they’re big ones) and a couple dead octopi every game.
Bub, it’s not the ambrosia, it’s that nasty jarred Alfredo. I can’t believe you’re eating that stuff, you should use it for wallpaper paste.
I see we’re making good progress on solving the world’s problems, btw. I was hoping you norse guys would head on over to the middle east and “solve” some of the issues there, but knowing Odin you’re already head first into the ale.
Ya know if you were willing to part with a few players, or at least one good skate across the juggular I may be able to step in. Otherwise I am sticking to my Bacchants and wine. 
As for the mid-east. We gave you Saddam right? He got the treatment didn’t he? Cavity searches and all…
No no no! Bubo[sup]2[/sup] is my much larger cousin. Athena would be the Hunchback of Notre Parthenon if he was sitting on her shoulder. I’m just little Otus.
[Let’s see how how long THIS modem holds out…]
:bustles in, holding a tattered, bloodstained daytimer:
Apologies, no time…very very busy these days. So much injustice everywhere it can be hard to know where to start.
I tell ya, it’s tough being Vengeance these days.
From South American rebels and paramilitaries to Somali warlords to Chechen extremists, my sisters and I got more than we can handle at once. Even if we just restrict ourselves to our respective specialties and their bosses.
If those soon-to-be-damned Middle Eastern extremists don’t stop using mosques as fortresses (even storing weapons in them!), they’re going to get a little visit , though. That’s ALL the majors - bloodshed, impiety, and defilement. I smell the taint of “honour killing” on some of them, that’s kinslaying…ooh, I better reprioritize here.
:scribbles frantically for a moment:
It’s the thought of Mugabe’s fate that’s keeping me going for now… :gory grin:
Anyways, like I said, much to do, much to do…
If anyone sees Badb or Macha, tell 'em I said Hi, wouldja?
:flings snakes over shoulder, trots off, singing:
I’ve got a little list, a little list,
Of society offenders who might well be underground,
And who never would be missed - who never would be missed!
What do you want Oedipus to bring? That is, assuming we can get the mofo to show up.
If he does show up, I don’t recommend the shish kabab.
Speak for yourself, missy. A number of countries that worship(ed) me have some of the highest qualities of life in the world in addition to universal healthcare and a general kick-ass attitude. Sure, there was a dark time back in the '40s when that little egomaniacal piss-ant was running around, giving my subjects a bad name, but all’s well for right now.
Og is around here somewhere, I think. He wandered off while I was doing laundry. Said he was going out for whiskey or something. He muttered "Og sour mash! and then he was gone.
That reminds me. Do jews leave a letter out when they type Og? And which letter?
sigh I’ll go get Og, he’s always off with that IPU character…
O- or -g. :dubious:
Does sometimes being mistaken for an ugly Polynesian god count? I do live within a few hours drive from a volcano and I could probably do up a nice clambake on a nearby beach.
Sounds good to me. Although it’s much more God-like if you have your minions do the dirty work. Plus, I like your style. Aren’t you the guy who insisted on the human sacrifice into volcanos and over cliffs thing?
