In Which I'm Deified

I kid thee not.  I AM a god in certain circles, which comes as much of a shock to me as it prolly does to you, Gentle Reader.  But I have proof from the ever-reliable Site Meter, which is something of a blogger's Oracle.  Regarde:


Note our googler's search term:  "Portales New Mexico god."  This is what our googler saw... and clicked through in order to get a better view of our god-like self:


OK, so I'm a minor P-Ville god, given ya gotta scroll down to page three of the results.  I'm thinkin' Pan or Dionysus had similar rankings and/or status in another, older pantheon and I'd most definitely settle for bein' a modern-day Pan.  Or Dionysus.  Bring me my nymphs!

  2. And that is such a god-like pose.

  3. No, Buck, Norse Mythology is the way to go--think Loki! He of the "slyly sinister trickster" mien. Remember, the modern hipster "Alpha Wimmins" (actually "womyn," but sexist me prefers the other, more degrading sexist term) go for the "edgy" types these days--which is why you never should have given up your Ninja-cycle, Buck--don't want to lose that hipster street cred! LOL!

  4. Congrats on becoming god of New Mexico! Looks like there is beer in heaven after all. :-)

    Waving at you from Texas, where I'm currently visiting...it's going to be in the 100's this week...with about 100% humidity. Still better than snow, I say.

  7. If you refer to the Sumerian god/goddess line - you should be Ninkasi the goddess (sorry) of beer. Per the Wiki entry:

    She was also borne of "sparkling fresh water." She is the goddess made to "satisfy the desire" and "sate the heart."

    Heh.

    wv: alcatho - my possible pronunciation of alcohol after the family party this past weekened...

  8. Ed: True, dat.

    Lou: I thought so. There I am, all ready to deliver wisdom and judgment. ;-)

    No, Buck, Norse Mythology is the way to go--think Loki!

    I respectfully disagree, Virgil. The Greek/Roman gods and goddesses got around a lot more, had better adventures, got drunk a lot, and weren't monogamous in the LEAST... all of which have powerful appeal to my inner hedonist. They have much better statuary, too.

    That's us too, Red... without the humidity!

    I bow humbly before ye......O Great God of the Eastern Plateau!!!!

    Heh. If there's ONE thing in life I love, it's respect. ;-)

    Dan: I'm pretty close to raising a glass, as we speak!

    Kris: How's about I work on gettin' Ninkasi as my consort?

  9. Minor Gods can still rake in a ton of cash.

    Say, any timeframe on the rapture?

  10. The rapture is a creation (pardon) of a whole 'nuther set of gods, Mr. Mayor. Us minor deities are still around even though we've fallen out of favor; we shall continue to stick around, too. We DO have our fans and devotees.

    That said, you need to tell me more about the financial angle here.

  11. Demi-gods rule! Just watch out for the Men in Black.
