I confess. I am Loki, the trickster God of Norse mythos.
I've just been hangin' in the US for a hundred years or so.

It's hard being a god that isn't worshipped any more, you know? Gotta find ways to entertain oneself.

So I thought, okay, why not try community college?

And it was great. I got my Associate's, and now I'm managing my own 7-11!!

2. Are you sure you're not Coyote the Trickster from Native American lore?
This is how you can tell:

have you ever buried yourself except for your penis in a mushroom patch and waited for maidens to try to "pick your mushroom"?

If you answered "yes" then you probably are Coyote. Or a freak of some sort.

6. Hey!! Loki is my long-haired gray 1-year-old kitty!
and well deserves his name.

Likes to do his business in the bathtub or on the floor.

So gorgeous and sweet that we can't stay mad at him long.

9. No, that was my cousin Heimdall's 7-11
After he gave up protecting Bifrost, he also started a 7-11. Sadly, he gained a lot of weight, and he who used to fend off giantsw couldn't even keep a dead squid and panda out of the store, and he instead fell over and just lay there, rolling around like a supersized ball bearing.

5. isn't worshipped anymore?
uh...you don't know anything about Asatru, do you?

Loki is just one of the Norse gods, but there ARE those who worship them today.

(Loki ought to head to Iceland...Asatru is the fastest-growing religion in that country today)

For more info on Asatru, visit http://www.thetroth.org/

10. Change your name to Coyote and hang out in the Southwest.
You'll find you've still quite a loyal following, - and people will bring you peyote. :hi:

11. Sorry, but I was born of ice and wind and darkness,
and so neither Coyote, Raven, nor Kokapelli am I, for I am Loki, and Loki only.

12. How are Odin's eyes?
Loved to hate you in "American Gods," will you be appearing in any more novels in the near future?

14. Well, let's just say that I've been contacted by Walt Simonson
to do some posing again.

But I can't say anything more than that.

And Odin's eye is fine - his sight came back a few years ago, after he slept.

23. Not unless the driver is drinking a soda with a straw,
no, it doesn't incur my wrath. In fact, I laughed out loud!

:sorry:

24. If I can not incur wrath

eh... it's a living..
