Alright, here goes…

bouv: God of non-sensical rambling (have I ever mentioned that sensical isn’t a word, it should be (after all, non-sensical is,)) crappy (‘am I allowed to say crappy on TV?’ ‘Yes, on this network you can’) handwriting, and procrastinators.

Totem animals: Wombats (because they rule), three-toed sloths (only the three-toed kind (unless they originally had four and lost one in the war, that doesn’t count)), lemurs (just because), and (of course) llamas!

Holidays: February 29, November 13, and, oh I don’t know, December 25.  
what’s that?  
.  
.  
.  
It’s already taken?  
.  
.  
.  
Damn! Why wasn’t I notified of this earlier?  
Now I have to change my other days accordingly, I had a nice system.  
Ah, nevermind. It’d take too long and be too much work.  
(hmm…maybe one of my minions could do it!)  
(Damn! I don’t HAVE any minions.)

_pounce_ Dan! I do not chant “rar”. Sacred book would be Kipling.

Get it right or you’ll always spell words correctly!

[sub]Wait a second… that’s not much of a threat is it? Sigh[/sub]

Love you too.

Medea…how about “get it right or you will always spell words incorrectly at the worst possible time in the worst possible way”…no, glad to help…as Goddess of Chaos & Confusion, I see it as my duty to!

Falcon, I proclaim you goddess of birds of prey, hospitality and cute kitties, totem animal - the kittihawk.

oh & matthaeus welcome aboard, I believe some of the other gods are looking for you…in fact it looks like there is quite a queue…good job we’re immortal!

Nay, **Falcon** I hold you as _Goddess of the SDMB and all that is holy on the SDMB_. And while **Cecil Adams** may be the guy in charge of this whole sham, you are the **Boss!**

Actually, “Bite My Ass” seems to be the chant that’s escaped your lips frequently. I forgot to mention that ass fetish of yours.

As to “get it right or you will always spell words incorrectly at the worst possible time in the worst possible way”, all right, I’ll behave. Because, Kathryn, I know that you of all people would know what an inconvenience that must be. Like that time you were really horny and typed “pron” into your search engine? 😛

Ok, this god is reinventing himself…

I am now Doobieous, god of nicknames that mean one thing, but make people think they mean another, California, and cool dressy shirts.

Mantra: No, I don’t smoke weed, dude

Holy land: California

Sacred clothing: Cool polyester shirts with bold patterns, usually dragons, but not limited to that. Can be purchased in any surf/skate shop type store.

Force of nature: Earthquakes

Noted for being quite laidback. In order to keep the stereotype about Californians up, he’s known to be quite lazy, and has been called a slacker from time to time. However, he tricks those who know him not by his name, which leads people to think he smokes weed, but hasn’t once touched the stuff. You can find him at the beach, surf/skate shops, or online 24/7. He is frequently seen in cool dressy polyester shirts with neat designs. His means of punishment is the earthquake, though he doesn’t use it as much as the other gods think.

How about Ogre? The Lord of All Things Clumsily Strong? Prince of the Powers of Ugly, Hairy Things? God of Posters Largely Unknown to All Other Dopers?

fierra now officially ranks among my most favorite posters.

**thinksnow** , god of the deep powder, the quiet calm and beating heart before the exhilaration of a truly challenging moment, wry humor and secret exhibitionism.

Sacred chant: “Oh shit, I meant…” Also: “I do think it’s funny, I _am_ smiling.”

Sacred grounds: All parcels of land having an incline greater than 25 degrees, elevation higher than 9,000 feet, snow-fall for more days than not and views that would make an eagle envious.

Sacred foods: Creole, Italian, Thai and hodge-podge.

**thinksnow** can often be found perched in the high ground, smiling wistfully at the silence of the snow fall, the glare of the sun on the pure, unbroken powder and the anticipation of cutting fresh-tracks. His writings can be found sprinkled around the world and will be known by their simple misspellings or letter omissions, usually in key words or phrases.

Additional methods of worship and showing devotion include: massage, cunnilingus, runonsentences and putting your foot in your mouth (an act unrelated to the first two).

Okay, well here I am.

I don’t think that there is ANY way I deserve any kind of god or goddess status, but I was just talking to Fierra, and she disagrees. ( Thank you, love!)

So, here I am, and I am asking for a designation.

This is kind of fun, non?

Scotti

Scotti…most worthily are you deified to universal acclaim…mother goddess of the board. No new duties hon, just carry on being yourself.
