Too bad I didn’t know this Saturday night as I was hugging the porcelain…or perhaps I should have been praying to the god of self-inflicted alchoholic poisonings? Anyone know who that is?

Kat, the elders have approved. You’re now the Cat Goddess!

so sit back, relax and wait for the joys of being a diety to come forth in a plentiful bounty! oh yeah, almost forgot, you need to recite the deity slogan before you may begin…

now say this aloud 3 times while trying to bite your right ear…

I we Todd did.  
I sofa king we Todd did.

(hehe, just a little hazing all the new gods go through)

Maybe, its not necessary, but if you do decide to go that way Kat, I suggest Imthecatgoddessmew. Or just keep Kat and add in your sig, “That’s Ms. Cat Goddess to you!” you know, something spiffy like that!

How’s this? I don’t think it’s quite right yet, but I haven’t been able to figure out what’s missing yet.

Do my remarks about Imthecowgodmoo qualify me as a heretic; or a full fledged demon?

I didn’t realize it was so easy!

Name: Catrandom  
Desired Position: Elephant Goddess  
Why: Because I think elephants are really cool, even though I’ve never actually met one personally. I’d be very polite if I met one, and would certainly do something to make circus work more dignified (no more tutus!)

I’d even be willing, if you say it’s necessary, to change my username.

Catrandom: Welcome to the world of diety! I have been given the nod from the head elder dude to appoint you to be the Elephant Goddess!

Now wasn’t that easy?

If you want to change your username, go ahead, it isn’t necessary, but adds to the mystique of being a god. Good luck with your new schtick!

PunditLisa: maybe you can address that to Bacchus, but don’t count on an answer-- he’s pretty occupied.

Kat: Does this mean I can summon you up when in the wee hours I hear that spine-curdling gggghhheeeeyyyaaaacccchhhh sound my kitties make??? Are they worshipping?

Catrandom: Ganesh is the Hindu elephant God, and a mighty swell one…
