Attention [livejournal.com profile] isomeme

Just spotted this in alt.atheism

Of course, Tlahuizcalpantecuhtli, in his infinite wisdom, does not
require his devotees to be fluent in ancient Aztec, so for us modern
peeps, it's ok to address him by his nickname -- Raymond.

Long Live Raymond!!!!


Puts the show Everybody Loves Raymond in a new light, especially if you've read American Gods...

Everybody sing!

"If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life/
Get yourself a large obsidian knife/
They won't be calling you a joka/
When you sacrifice 'em to Tezcatlipoca!"

(Note that this only works if you pronounce Quetzalcoatl correctly...)

Quetzalcoatl disdains sacrifice;
He'd prefer that we all just play nice.
  To balance his mercy
  There's one he treats worse-y --
"Old Mirror-Foot? Him, I'd kill twice!"
