SomethingAwful.com sets it straight about the Holy Spook

CasperFan01: three is different than one, man. i knew god gave you people free will. I didn't know he gave you stupid, too.

So says the Holy Ghost in conversation with one of the SA authors.

I couldn't've put it better myself. Ohyeah, and happy Ishtar-day to all you fertility-worshipping bunny- and egg-obsessed pagans! And happy Zombie Jesus the Mexican Boy day to all y'all Christian Iron & Wine fans out there!

Me...I'm going to spend the day writing and revising stories about Unimaginable Evils living amongst us and causing trouble at Goth clubs, and looking for the old Morpheus Laughing tracks on about 10,000 backup discs and old hard-drives. I don't give a damn if I have to dig all the way to Pluto's kingdom and steal the tracks out of his personal CD collection, I will find them. Eurydice can help, but if she tries to follow me out of Hades again, I'm blindfolding her ass and pulling her along with a leash so I don't have to go through that "Look back in regret" crap all over again.

Being as tilotamma is Persephone, I'm sure I can get a few strings pulled down there for ya.

Excellent! I'll bring her a pomegranate or two for her trouble, too....

Hmmm. I'm thinking, though...if you're Eurydice, though, I'd certainly hope you'd follow me out of the Big Dark--just make sure I don't end up getting torn apart by an army of crazy women later on! That would have to suck most righteously.

But you're not my Orpheus. That's... been taken.

I'm more like Charon, anyway: always sailing people into the Underworld....Or maybe Pluto himself--stuck in the Dark for good (the ultimate night job, as it were).

Oh, who the heck am I kidding? The god that everyone *always* identifies me with is Loki, or Coyote!

Yes, you are Loki. You told Arvin that he shit on a car and you told me that they used the plans for the Cathedral of Learning in Ghostbusters. And you will tell more fibs yet. And that is the way of the world, amen. XP

Yes, but you notice--the quality of my...shall we say, playful misdirections have become much less drastic over the years! Besides, I can get away with stuff like that with aRvin because the man's practically my long-lost brother. If anything, I've traded a great deal of my Loki-nature in for a much less troublesome Coyote kind of approach. I'd much rather *create* the world by messing with heads than trying to bring about Ragnarok!
