I’m trying to come up with a name for a god. Imagine a world where everything is tastey and edible. Everything is edible because of this god who has said that it will be so. So far, I’ve been using “The Great Munchie God of the Sky,” but I’d really like something that can be shortened into an acronym like FOOD or GRUB or ??? My brain is fried and not helping me. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks ---

All that matters is that two sat down for dinner. That’s what’s important! Hunger pleases you, Nom… so grant me one request. Grant me SECONDS! And if you do not listen, then to HELL with you! ---

What about naming a god after our very own **Mangetout**? It’s French and roughly means “eats anything” in an omnivore sense. It even, sort of, makes a cool acronym **M** ange = **E** at, **A** ll = **T** out. Enjoy, Steven ---

Glucosus. And his nemesis, the fallen angel Sucrosus. Or perhaps simply Sugarpuss. Whatever you do though, don’t go with the long name/acronym thing. Long names are dumb and lame. A one-word name connotes power. ---
