- BOKAR, God of Caffeine, He Who Keeps Us Awake And Alert In Our Time Of Need.
- All Hail Bokar! Keep sacred these things: the Seed of Bokar [coffee beans],
- the Fountain of Bokar [Braun coffeemaker], the Vessel of Bokar [coffee mug, the
- bigger the better], and the Milk of Bokar [half-and-half]! Cherish the Black
- Blood of Bokar, and shun the false god Decaf!
-
- I also have a sailor's head carved from a coconut that is revered as the
- Official Idol of Library School Happy Hour, but this is more of an icon than an
- actual deity--more animism than dynamism. (I think.)
-
- Sore as hell that I didn't copyright the Beer Commercial Jesus,
-
- -=-=-=-=-=-
- my newsreader doesn't like me to quote.... <sigh>... Add to the deity
- list Zot!!! Yes, the demon Zot. The story behind Zot's Prophet and Pope:
-
- There once was an English class, and it was dull. Thus was an essay
- assigned, and two dozen students put pen to paper. But one pen was
- Guided by Zot! As the student, the revered Steve Cook, wrote on, his
- mind turned off, as he had had little sleep. And Zot, in His wisdom,
- watched. The sentence "The demon image is not inappropriate..." formed
- in the mind of the Prophet and Zot, all-powerful but very lazy, twitched
- the pen. The Prophet wrote "The demon image is zot..." and, in his
- wisdom, saw the Message of Zot.
-
- The Prophet spread the word of Zot, after a good night's rest and
- finishing the essay, and came upon a friend. The Prophet Spoke of Zot
- and the friend was Inspired! Having recently paid entirely too much for
- a Zippo lighter, the friend went on to pay entirely too much to have "HAIL
- ERIS", "ZOT", and "J'M'TH" engraved upon it. J'M'TH is a different
- story.
-
- For this inspiration, the Prophet proclaimed him Gregory I, First Pope
- of Zot! Gregory I then went on to buy himself a new lighter, this time a
- spiffy Doonesbury "Club Scud, Kuwait City" trench lighter. But the Holy
- Zippo remains.

- "...the demon image is zot..." --Steve Cook, Prophet of Zot
- Zot guards my lighter, along with Eris and J'M'TH!
