Dear 'Spaw,

I hadn't fully realised your powers of flatulence before although they have always been legendary:

Part of an astronomical definition:

nebula: .......any gaseous body of unorganized stellar substance

And look what I found named after you!

I am truly in awe and humbly await your return O powerful one...

See, Alex--"afar" is always best, just to avoid small confusions like that...(consider the consequences of an error in windage!)

El Swanno, Amos, MMario--whether the Altar is to be beseeched or besmirched, I STILL don't wanna think about the ceremony. (Shudder).

Welcome, Welcome Home, 'Spaw--

I'd rather be upwind myself, if it's all the same to you, Alex.

Will be good to see you back, Spaw. The flamingoes are missing you.

I haven't been here long enough to remember, but you are obviously held in high regard, and worshipped from afar (with good reason?)

Actually "from afar" isn't necessary, as long as you're downwind.

I was always under the impression that the Altar of Flauts was more to be besmirched then beseeched, but I could be wrong.

Still - It could be worth a try. However, I think El Swanno may not be using the correct style of beseechment.

oh great and flatulant; whose winds fortell thy coming before thy arrival; whose breath gives rise to scatological hymn and the whistle of possums; oh ye of great heart and clicky valve; come to us that we might laugh!

Ah, Swanno, how kind, how intense, how heartfelt a prayer!!! I dunno if Spaw is used to being beseeched, though -- he might have some trouble processing this kind of adulation. Although many have worshiped His Flatulence from afar (for obvious reasons) this is the first time in my memory anyone has actually stepped up to the Altar of Flatus and raised a prayer. I'm not sure anyone remembers what the ensuing ceremony is supposed to look like, and frankly I'm a little scared of finding out!

Oh most flatulent one, appear unto us. Tell us that the chest tubes have not deflated thee, that a mighty BRRRAAAAAPPP is still the clarion call of thy presence.

Tell us that the gentle tick, tick, tick, emanating from thy chest has not overcome the sound of the little voices crying out in thy head.

Tell us the evil Foley has not drained thee of thy vital piss & vinegar.

Drag thine ass to the computer and send us word.
