Sadly, in real life I'm partial to jumping up and down excitedly while bopping television executives over the head with a half-gnawed chicken leg, so I can't see our lifestyles accommodating one another.<BR/><BR/>Still, good luck to anyone else with whom I have a common interest in spouting utter shit and attempting to make a bit of cash on the side. Sai Baba, I salute you!<BR/><BR/>I like it when people claim to actually <I>be</I> god.

He has ashrams all over India and further afield. <BR/><BR/>Of course, it may not be him at all (I wasn't aware he ran London hotels...!) but, the pink robes and the afro could be a giveaway, since Sai Baba sports both of these quite often.<BR/><BR/>I guess if you suddenly start extolling the virtues of meditation, vegetarianism and non-violence then we'll have reasons to suspect some kind of brain-washing.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and I was born in 1980, so feel nicely in the middle of everybody else!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10831518.post-1134398449733182332005-12-12T14:40:00.000+00:002005-12-12T14:40:00.000+00:00>>I was hoping for 'worshipped as a god'Perhaps do...>>I was hoping for 'worshipped as a god'<<<BR/><BR/>Perhaps donning a dodgy afro, pink robes and a beatific grin might have the desired effect.patroclushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01933476561340044351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10831518.post-1134396723307220662005-12-12T14:12:00.000+00:002005-12-12T14:12:00.000+00:00Oops, sorry about the extraneous 'e'.I was hoping ...Oops, sorry about the extraneous 'e'.<BR/><BR/>I was hoping for 'worshipped as a god', but 'loved' will have to do.James Henryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16604261370633794445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10831518.post-1134321053877314962005-12-11T17:10:00.000+00:002005-12-11T17:10:00.000+00:00Oh that's fine.
