I saw here a few weeks back that "Old Scratch" had written in with some more of his poisoned crap, and I figured I should set a few things straight.
First of all "Old Scratch" ain't that old. He's a bullshitter from the getgo tho' and it shows.
For example he sez he was there when Zeus raped Leda.
Bwah. Leda's safe in Hades, now, where Scratch has no dominion (another of his lies.. he dares not walk with the dead) so I s'pose there's no harm now in saying what went down.
It all started, I guess, one day when I was lazin' about sunnin' myself on some warm rocks, feedin' my pet "budgies", and minding my own business.
All of a sudden, I get this weird tingling in the hairs on the back of my neck ('bout all I got left for hair) like I hadn't felt in years, 'cus the Gods don't come to visit me too much anymore, and suddenly theres lightning and thunder all about and the next moment his BigNess, hisself, is standin' there in front of me.
"Listen, old friend," he begins.
'Old friend?' I think to meself, but he continued: "I know we've had our differences, but we've got a problem now that you can help me with."
'Hoho', I thot, 'the Imperial We of Olympus has a problem that he needs my help with? "Must be quite the problem, indeedy."
