children with too much self-esteem
'IRIS! I AM YOUR GOD!!!" shouted five year-old Lola.
Well, after that there was a bit of shouted repartee:
"I AM YOUR GOD!"
"YOU ARE NOT MY GOD, LUCY!"
"I AM 'THE GOD LUCY'!"
I'm not sure what tasks "the God Lucy" wanted her servant, Iris, to perform, but Iris was having none of it, and we were going to a dinner party & I had to bundle off the God Lucy and Iris into the car before the question of Lola's divinity was settled.
p.s. While the shouting was going on, I wrote that brief blog entry, found my keys, and put on my shoes. Then I summoned the God Lucy and the rebellious servant of the Lord, Iris, to come unto me and get into the car.
Two men say they're Jesus; one of them must be wrong.
2) I was going to quote a scene from Night Court, but while googling for it, I realized that I had already quoted it in a previous comment on this blog. I figured quoting it again would be incredibly lame of me because it's not even June and I'd be doing reruns.
I can't wait for you to get to whatever level of WOW which is the end. Because, can you please look at your blog? 22 paragraphs on WOW. One line on life.
I need this blog, Woman. This is MY WOW. So, do you mind?
All hail the Lola! She should consider offering Iris the high priestess-ship. Perhaps Iris would be appeased since everyone knows the preacher gets all the money.
Sorry, my girls, the TigerGrrl and DestructoGirl are your soon-to-be-overlords. You may not have known this, but human evoluation reached it's pinnacle in 1999 and 2004, when they were, respectively, born. Prepare to be assimilated.
Oh, this is some other proud mother's blog? Whoops-a-doopsy.

So what did Lord Iris do next?

i think you need to teach iris the meaning of the word atheist.
I am reminded of two things...
1) Dire Straits' "Industrial Disease"

I would applaud the idea of a new lord, if I weren't already one myself.
p.s.
this is iris uber alles, not the drunken housewife.

In my fond mind, mine are the best.
Welcome, Foilwoman! Are your children also gods?
Lords have mercy!
LOL, I love it. Been watching "Stargate-SG 1" lately? It sounds like one of the go'uld lines to me :)
