Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for April 07, 2010

I feel just like an ancient Greek, too dern many gods!

Don’t for get Hermès, the Greek god of overpriced leather goods.

Xeroxes, the god of reproduction.

It’s all Greek to me…

If you’ll permit me to wax Roman instead of Greek…

Mercury, the god of bankrupt car companies.

Saturn, the god of oversized rocket engineers (probably Cliff’s tutelary deity).

Uranus, the god of tasteless bathroom jokes.

Daffy Duck, the Egyptian god of frustration (that’s a Babylon 5 reference).

I love that last one, but I believe it was Babylonian god of frustration.

So who do I pray to in 8 days, Moretaxius?

weasel-WHAT????

‘Ades - the god of Disco Music?

No, Seventiis is the god of disco music – ‘Ades is the god of music videos featuring guys wearing makeup.

perish the thought, jack.

I’m stocking up.

Don’t forget Loopholeiis, god of finding ways around honesty.

Whom the gods would destroy, they first give split ends.

Judging by various Internet posts on any given day, as well as the existence of Fox “News” Channel, Jerkules is never happy.

Oh good, I stand corrected. Mercury, the god of solvency. (Shoulda paid closer attention when the dominos started falling, I guess.)

But…sorry, Daffy Duck was definitely called the Egyptian god of frustration. (It was easier to explain him that way to a Mimbari, and funnier and more memorable that way than to call him Babylonian.)

Too bad it’s not real easy to double-check that, unless you own the videos or the iTunes files. I own neither. But had it been Babylonian, I would’ve remembered it as too easy and cheap a shot…:)

Johanan is correct. Garibaldi called Daffy the Egyptian god of frustration. And it seemed Ivanova was a parishioner.

“Bilious, the ohgod of hangovers” (Hogfather)

Gicer, the Narn ambassador, and Ivanova were in Geribaldi’s room, (he was missing). Gicer saw the picture of “Daffy Duck” and asked Ivanova “What is that?” Susan told him “That’s the Babylon god of frustration.”
