For your consideration...

I'm probably in comparison with most people, about 15-25% more talkative than your average guy. I also generate about 75-90% more words in text than most people. (let's say taking an average week as our "sample" for percentages.) Now, sooner or later, you just get lucky. Like, as I mentioned before...getting back up to a post-a-day speed, I went off on the robot tangent, which (hopefully providing you at least a minor amusement in your day) I grew tired of, and said something along the lines of this.

"I really hope there's a pirate story or two coming down the pike, cause this robot thing (while nobody's saying isn't useful or interesting) is getting a little stale."

And four days later, it was "Talk Like a Pirate Day." So, as I was pointing out with all those percentages of how I use words a little more than the average person, sometimes, with odds in your favor, you write something, and then - KAPOW! - it just shows up. However, in the last couple days, I've also been talking about things that have TOTALLY COME TRUE!
EXAMPLES:
1) Raccoons came up in a conversation two weeks ago. "But of course," you say, "I would not only expect raccoons to come up in a conversation with you Mr. Tsunami, I would be disappointed if they didn't!" However, the very next day, that conversationalist came back to tell me "I was driving and saw 4 raccoons in the early morning sitting around a storm-drain."
2) Yesterday, I was in a conversation where I began talking about the various lovely qualities of rain (yeah, yeah, I know most of you think it sucks, but livin' in L.A. rain is a touch different than in places with, umm, say, "weather.") Anyhoo, today, it rained in L.A.! Like, nearly all night, and most of today. Fantastic!
3) About two weeks ago, I mentioned to a few key and trusted people, that I wanted to be the host of a talk show. A week ago, I mentioned it again. Last night, I was offered a "host/M.C." position on a brand new teevee show. (BTW that...was the big important "meeting" I attended.)
It's not quite what I had in mind, but pretty damn close.

So - as the man says, "I'm on a roll." About now. If there's anything you would like me to talk about, whydon'tcha lemme know. If it would be advantageous to the both of us - or to readers of Fjord, I'll try and speak/write it into existence!

(P.S. - I may actually now have become Gjod...altho in fairness, the implications are so complex that I'm trying with all my might to remember I have lived most of my life as a puny mortal.)

-ummm- once again spammers have struck. I've removed their comments, because this is for real people. I might have to implement some sort of "comment defense mechanism" in the future, cause it's getting annoying.

Okay! That's a pretty good ider. However, you saw 1st hand the experience that Q-Dog had in starting a new religion. It's HARD! Maybe that FOX money would help smooth out things, but I think, starting out everything from scratch would be hard. Maybe too hard...
