If you could be a god of legend, who would it be? (spam on topic)

Personally, I think you should *stop* wearing young ladies' under garments, Gruntboy...

Dionysus, all I know about that is something to do with the delusions of Jim Morrison and Morpheus, well, he's cool, so I guess I could be him. Although Hypnos is more in telling with my character I think Morpheus is much more cool and important so Morpheus it is.

Get your own God

Alright, you can keep Morpheus....I'll be Stavros, God of Moustaches.

There was a hundred-year-old literary cliche (no, I didn't create it) that went, "Exhausted, she fell into the arms of Morpheus," or words to a similar effect. Point was, Morpheus, as god of sleep, was claiming his due from that person. And when you think about it, he's pretty damn powerful, since he claims roughly one-third of our lives. Only Bill Gates is his equal.

I agree. Grunty will never be able to be like *lovely* Mr Beckham...

Ah being powerful is all well and good but it's usually hard work trying to prevent some percocious young whippersnapper from stealing ones crown, as far as I'm concerned I'd rather be content than powerful.

Yes, but you forget that Coyote also represents all of man's quirks, like impatience,

Will you get to the point? I haven't got all day you know....

greed,

Yes! I get ALL of man's quirks! You don't get any! Nyah, nyah, nyah!

nosiness...

You sorta like Coyote, don't ya? You kinda got a little 'thing' for him, right? C'mon, you can tell me....

In one Zuni legend, Coyote's suspicion of his partner, Eagle, led to Coyote opening a box and releasing the sun and the moon, which is why we now have cold weather. Now I have to replant all my ornamental grasses in the front yard every Spring and Aegis is freezing in his can of sardines with the peguins and it is all your fault!

Since I currently live in the land of "Sunshine and More Sunshine", I could do with a little cold weather. I miss snow! So.... I have no problem with any of this.

The only reason I know any of this is because I subbed for a literary arts class last week, and by off chance we ready about Coyote.

Though, you do tend to display some of these traits that Coyote does in the legends. Maybe you are most like Coyote, after all.

HOWEVER, next Spring you're commin' up here to Mizzou to replant all of my ornamental plants that die in the frost.

Gwalchmai · Post by **Gwalchmai** » Wed May 28, 2003 1:56 pm

LOL! You got it, AC! I'll just bring all the plants that whither in the heat down here up to plant in your yard! We can start an ornamental-plant-exchange-program.

Aqua-chan · Post by **Aqua-chan** » Wed May 28, 2003 2:06 pm

Hey, I can bring plants from the brink of death from the heat, so you just bring 'em all up, boy.

Just make sure you go back quickly as you being Coyote who displays all of man's worst characteristics, I'm not sure if a phycotic Goddess of mass-murder like me would appreciate your company too well.

Coyote is a great choice. Though I would have preferred the more noble version of Coyote from different Native American mythos...particularly, Wolf.

Myself...this is a tough choice. I suppose I would have to settle with Prometheus, the titan of Greek mythology who gave mankind the secret of fire, something which pissed Zeus off to a high degree.

I suspect Coyote would get along with a wide range of fellow deitys - despite his faults he's just a happy-go-lucky guy, ya know. You just can't predict these sorts of things - Coyote and Sekhmet might really hit it off (they got that whole animal thing going for them...)

BTW, fable rarely spams... Though he would be loath to admit it, I think that he does a lot of COMMunicating.

If I really wanted to suck up, I'd want to be a god by the name of Buck Satan

Yes, indeed, coz Grunty is a *man's man*, (even though he bakes muffins on Sunday mornings and keeps fluffy toys on his bed) and, as far as I'm aware, he's never worn a sarong or plaited his hair, unlike that *nancy boy* David Beckham.

Foul mis-quoting wenches!! Unlike the majority of British humour, I do not find wearing ladies undercrackers amusing. You might find out you enjoy it too much.

I meant rummaging in. Not rummaging in. Grrr!

Calm down, calm down - yes, yes, we all know you don't wear pants....

But knickers - can they be classed as pants? What about a thong? G string?

(BTW, you can rummage in my underclothes any time...)

Then you should stop doing it, before you are appointed God of Crossdressing.

And probably Benny Hill.
