You’d think he could have found a better hiding spot.

He slipped behind the cushions on the couch, am I right? He does that all the time in my house. You only notice because you can hear His muffled voice crying “Hey! Get offa me! Dis is God in here, for criminy’s sake!”

I found God.

He came up to me and said “Tag! You’re it!”

Grumble.

\*_Omni_, while you still have God around, can you ask him one cosmic question?

What the hell does he have against the Red Sox?

Blue, I’d be happy to, but when I asked him about the Cubs he just pointed at me and started snickering uncontrolably, and mumbling something about '69, and Leon Durham.

I suggest you ask all those people who have seemed to have lost him. You know, they walk up to you, hand you a chick tract/give you a zombiefied smile, and ask, “Have you found Jesus?” I think they should just buy a new one. I mean, how hard can it be? Look at how many saviors the followers of Brian had in _The Life of Brian_.

Yeah, yeah, like we’re interested in that. Did you ask her about the _really_ important thing; what’s her sexual orientation?

My response to such people is to answer in one of several other languages–but not in Spanish. I figure if they think I speak German, French, or Russian, or whatever, but not English, they’ll know they have no way to communicate with me. Or I’ll silently touch a fingertip to my closed lips, suggesting I am deaf-mute. I could engage in a debate with such people, but I know I’m wasting my time and theirs, and getting nowhere. One of these people once ruined my luch on the Redondo Piere by ensnaring me this way.

Does God realise he will be out of a job when the 2001 elections come about …

I love people talking about me. I got off on the wrong exit, and Omniscient found me. Thank you Omniscient, for your good deed I will enlighten you. You will die on Thursday…I hope this helps.
