A God Among Actors
If Edward James Olmos played the God of Abraham, would Jamie Bamber play Jesus and then eventually fat Jesus? Would Katee Sackhoff play Mary Magdalene? I’m fairly sure we all know who would play Judas in this scenario (though he would make a pretty good Jesus too).

Any FB’s in the Lubbock, TX area need to come out and see me at West Texas Comic-Con this Saturday from 10am – 6pm. I’ll have books and shirts and buttons and stuff and things.

ANOTHER THING FOR HE PODCAST LISTENERS!!!:
Fans of the HE Podcast may appreciate this poster Alex made of El Delorio. That shit is top notch awesome right there. He wanted to offer to runners up on the contests, but I think only the Podcast listeners will get it, so I am considering offering it as a print in the store. Your thoughts?

I thought Morgan Freeman was God? Or is he only God in certain situations?
November 3rd, 2009 at 1:37 am
Please make a print of the El Delorio ad, I would buy it ASAP.

Sweet Cylon O'lantern.
November 3rd, 2009 at 2:29 am
Badass! Thanks guys! Perhaps playing 'Ghostbusters' may slightly ease the pain inflicted by staring at pictures of Eli for hours while carving an effigy of his face into the side of a vegetable (fruit) with a rusty can opener.

Nice comic today, also would like to ad that the addition of Sir Anthony Hopkins kinda means I have to watch Thor, though I still fear it will be super Lame sauce (Beowulf 2.0 anyone?)
November 3rd, 2009 at 3:42 am
I know where it's from, but I still don't really "get" El Delorio. Is it supposed to be a Hispanic knockoff of the Delorean? I think I was too confused with Obasby and Midnight Taco Train to comprehend things.
November 3rd, 2009 at 3:58 am
I vote for Sir Christopher Lee as God!
Did you guys hear the good news?

I need to watch BSG so I can know how piddle-inspiring señor Olmos is.
November 3rd, 2009 at 6:31 am
I've met Edward James Olmos, and even when he's being humble he can scare the shit out of you. That voice is a force to contend with.
November 3rd, 2009 at 8:37 am
I bow at the alter of Google, when ever I ask it a question it gives me an answer, most of the time its porn, which is why its such a great deity.
November 3rd, 2009 at 3:12 pm
Am I the only one disturbed as to WHY Josh wouldn't share his favorite entry for contest #2?
Perhaps I'm the only one brave enough to even consider the whys and wherefores?
November 3rd, 2009 at 4:19 pm
I LOVE the Cylon-o-lantern. It looks surprisingly like the plans I found online to build a working one (complete with LED eyes). You guys didn't actually carve one of these did you?
Also, Picard vs Adama? Obvious the Enterprise would destroy a Battlestar, but who would win in a game of fisty-cuffs? What about in diplomacy?
November 3rd, 2009 at 4:43 pm
Doesn't Baltar get laid too much to be Jesus?
I thought Olmos was a bit too short for god… God needs to be looming as well as booming, in my opinion.
November 3rd, 2009 at 5:50 pm
He's black god. Olmos is Latino god. I thought everyone knew this.
November 3rd, 2009 at 5:52 pm
I think thats the plan. Only Podcast listeners would get it, but its worth it.
November 3rd, 2009 at 5:52 pm
Yeah I totally borrowed that from a guy that actually made one.
November 3rd, 2009 at 5:53 pm
Now if you can only get Eli to actually send you the game. Good luck with that.
November 3rd, 2009 at 5:54 pm
never did see that Beowulf CG thing. I assume it sucked.
November 3rd, 2009 at 5:56 pm
it was just a riff on a crappy car that Eli and Alex would have seen growing up. The name is from DeLorean, but the similarities end there. Explaining the joke just made me sad.
November 3rd, 2009 at 5:57 pm
Can you really night a dark wizard?
November 3rd, 2009 at 5:57 pm
its like gravel making sweet love to sand paper.
November 3rd, 2009 at 5:58 pm
I assume it was not work safe.
November 3rd, 2009 at 5:58 pm
I saw those plans too. Thats where I got the idea from.
November 3rd, 2009 at 5:59 pm
he makes up for the lack or loom with double the boom.
November 3rd, 2009 at 8:01 pm
Naw, Bambi wouldn't be Jesus, not even fat one, Jack Black already did that in Prop 8 – The Musical. I could totally see Callis as Jesus though, Christ had quite the lot of followers and pretty much everyone wanted to nail- I mean crucify Baltar at some point.
But hey, BRIAN BLESSED as Odin proves that there might actually be a god of some kind.

My daughter is half-Mexican. Can she choose which deity to worship? If so, I'm going to steer her towards Olmos.
As for little white me, is there an appropriate Caucasian God?
November 3rd, 2009 at 8:40 pm
Joss Whedon?
November 3rd, 2009 at 8:41 pm
You're abso right, the power of Obosby and the might of the Midnight Taco Train can be very intimidating, thus causing temporary cognitive failure… Where Eli and I grew up, (Mexicor) pop culture typically gets diluted and corrupted by the time it trickles from the coasts down to the taint of the nation (not to be confused with Taint Of The Nation, the weekly FOX News political analysis series). Case in point, Eli grew up listening to the comedic stylings of Chooch & Chang while playing with his Vanformers, dreaming one day that Emilio "Doc" Brownsville would swoop down in his El Delorio that he turned into a time/taco machine… "HOLA McFLY!!!"
Ten years prior the time-traveling adventures of Doc Brownsville and his pal Martinez McFly, the El Delorio was the vehicle of choice by the comic duo Chooch & Chang (where in the summer hit movie "Vato, Where's My Green Card?" they drive an El Delorio completely created out of marijuana).
El Delorio. Like Nothing Else… bro…

What the god-goddamned'd is going on over at HE-Worldcom? Since when is Josh given authority to get all Dick Cheinous with decisions like this? I read this blog, I've been there man, I'VE PUT IN THE HOURS! If there's monster geek wang to be seen, IWANNAGODDAMNEDSEETHATDUNESANDWORMDELUXEFREAKINESS!!!

That IS impressive! curse slow computer downloading torrents slowly!
November 4th, 2009 at 12:23 am
Agreed.
November 4th, 2009 at 1:35 am
I really liked it. Not sure why it got such bad reviews.
November 4th, 2009 at 6:41 am
my god this makes my head hurt
November 4th, 2009 at 6:48 am
Hey now…. everyone here knows my… tendencies… If you wanna win, sometimes you gotta play dirty.
November 4th, 2009 at 8:17 am
Only when he's also a vampire lord, I think.
November 4th, 2009 at 1:29 pm
Totally Agreed! Plus he's a ginger (like me) – godliness ensues!
Although an atheist as god – I think that might cause some sort of universe inverting paradox.

I don't think anyone is suggesting that trading video games for amature porn + bacon is wrong, I think we're just demanding evidence. PICS OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN.

Yeanh-hunh…. How many HE readers are now wandering the facilities in Gonn'a'get'a'mo Lay? NO SECRET PRISONS! BRING JUSTICE TO HIJINKS ENSUE!!
November 4th, 2009 at 10:30 pm
I took those photos, and there was no bacon involved… No, I'm not saying they weren't mailed without a coupon for a slab of yummy bacon, but no bacon appeared in the photos.

This is golden, I salute you Mr. Flores. Goodspeed you Fancy Bastard.
