The reason the Sphynx looks at vivalostwages is that when they tried to have statues face _ **ME** _ none were able to gaze directly upon my terrible greatness without falling into ruin! So great is my majesty that even inanimate objects must avert their gaze from me! When you wash clothes, you always lose socks? Not only do I not lose socks, YOUR socks come to me! The word “awesome” was coined to describe me. ---

I clean quickly with lemon freshness. I’m smarter than the average bear. Even when I’m wrong, I right. I have 100% retention. I shit Ice Cream, and piss Champagne. I secrete expensive oils, suitable for distillation and refinement. I’m a very good driver, and not just in the driveway. When I was a lifeguard, nobody drowned. The original ‘Woodstock’ was performed in my honor. Famous authors frequently ask me to flesh out their stories for them. I’m the greatest lover since Richard Nixon, and the greatest intellect since Forrest Gump. ---

I have had anal sex with every registered female member of the SDMB, even the lesbians, and 473 of the female lurkers. I once read a signed, first edition copy of LOTR while it was nestled on top of **Alice\_in\_wonderland’s** fabulous rack. Tolkien’s estate has been in negotiations with me to ghost-write the “long lost but recently found” sequel. Mountain climbers prepping to scale Everest often ask to take a trial-run up my penis first. the first base camp is just below mid-shaft. Oxygen is required to get anywhere near the head. ---

I am the Creator of the Universe. I like anonymity, so I let some bloke (God somebody?) take all the credit. I am personally responsible for every butterfly’s wing, every snowflake, every rainbow. When people pray, they pray to me. [And Edgar Allan Poe’s raven - that was me] ~Raven ---

I kill 99% of bacteria. I slice, dice and mince in three easy steps. I replace all of these household items. Shakespeare plagerized my work. I’m **Tubadiva** ’s and **Cecil Adams** love child Oh, and the prostitute _gave the money back!_ ---

Every couple of years or so I completely shed my skin. I am Deja Vu. You’ve seen me before only because I reside in your genetic memory. You won’t remember I’ve been here, but you’ll be profoundly moved as a result. I am a cipher, a cipher wrapped in an enigma, smothered in secret [sauce](http://www.thepocket.com/wavs/acipher.mp3). ---

I have feet and feet of beautiful blonde hair-- and a nubile gymnast to carry it around for me. “beautiful”? My middle name. I play every instrument ever invented, in fact, I invented half of them. (kazoo, anyone?) I sing like a siren, perform with the muses in the audience, wowing them into a stunned silence, whilst the gods sit quietly, marveling at what they could not create. I am a repository of all knowledge, reading, and wit. Math is my good subject. I have groupies. ---
