1.) I'm not even powerful, let alone all powerful.
2.) I'm not omniscient.
3.) I'm very egotistical despite my lack of the aforementioned qualities.
4.) I'm only somewhat compassionate.
5.) I'm not really awe-inspiring.

1.) Not even close to powerful
2.) I'm too bleeding-heart compassionate to do anything
3.) STARK RAVING MAD!!! Stark rAVINg mad!!! StARk raVingMad!!! STARKRAVINGMAD!!!

Really, does everybody want their left hands spontaneously metamorphosing into potted plants?

You inspire a little awe in me...

Ok, nevermind, I was just trying to make you feel important.

If you're gonna turn my left hand into a potted plant, could you make it a Venus Flytrap? I'm into this whole opposable thumb thing, and that would make a decent substitution.

If I fail to make utter nonsense, take some DMT. It will help me make less sense...
It will also help me metamorphose your hand. If I'm lucky.

On an unrelated note, has anybody heard the song "Metastasis" by Naked Raygun? If so, what the fuck are they yelling during the chorus? Can they pronounce 'metastasis' at all, or is that some other word?
I love Naked Raygun anyway though.

Define 'band-aide' first.
In the meanwhile, here's a grilled cheese sandwich.

That sounds remarkably like the guy from Hitcher's Guide...

Which, BTW, if it sounds like I'm obsessed with that book it's because I'm in the middle of reading it for the first time...Rather, the series. Same thing.

Andaluciae puts his hand out and utters forth a stiring of words in some ancient odd language, beams of light shoot out from his hat towards NA.

As NA stands stunned, the beams of light form a hat upon his head, sealing his hand transformational powers forever inside him, never to escape.

Except it's carnivorous, so it wouldn't like cheese and bread...

And all you need is a George Forman (sp?) grill and an outlet...You can make cheese sandwiches anywhere!

Including the back of a bandroom behind the percussion cabinet :rolleyes:

That's a nice idea. Have a cookie, and use it for the powers of gooooood.

Isn't it ironic that most grilled cheese sandwiches are fried rather than grilled? It's an injustice to the cheese. And the grilled. We must grill more grilled cheese sandwiches! This is where the cookie comes in.

What the hell does 'grille-pain' mean? Its written on my toaster. I suppose grills can cause pain in fairly prodigious amounts if incorrectly utilized, but I don't see why the warning must be included on a toaster's settings dial...

As an aside, I don't own a grill.

1) You are powerful, you just don't know it.
2) Better not to be a know-it-all.
3) Ego is not inherently a bad thing; it's what you do with it that counts.
4) This one would be a bit of a hinderance.
5) Can't comment unless you post your picture.

I'd say you have good god potential.

Grille-pain sounds like french, maybe for bread grill. Close enough to match up to toaster.

Did you get your toaster in Canada, maybe?

No, if I were a surrealist I couldn't be god (or asparagus) because Tuesday is the intersection of Halloween and pastry when all the pink lobsters fly out of my butt.

Thank you for slapping grandma, though.
