   That's Premier God and Guru (note the capitalization). :^)

   We can only hope those are two different things.

   Than's me, the Net's own resident gas passer.

   Virtual pies in the face.  Why do I get the feeling I'd get more of
those than the homage part. :^)

   Sanity not popular on the Net?  No.  You're kidding.  Oh well, I guess
I'm that spoonful of sugar.

   But you didn't cross-post it to rec.arts.ascii like I asked.  Just for
