I want to be Buddha- have a bunch of people bring me food and flowers and stuff, and rub my belly, and I just spout off some nonsense about wind and grasshoppers, and they all worship me. Where do I apply?
(did we scare Mystic Misspeller out of his own thread?)

Maybe. Yet, I don't care. I am more interested in your proposed lifestyle and means to achieve it...I like flowers, too! (and having my belly rubbed.)

I like the being worshiped part. Maybe we could start our own snake cult!

A nice policeman declared me a goddess and told me he was building a shrine to me.

I get that a lot.

You lucky girl! I want to be worshiped by the police, too! Do you think cops would join a snake cult?

I believe it.
I use that line a lot amongst friends: "You are a goddess, and I worship you." my way of saying thanks, ya know?

Buddha attained highest form of life and was based on his brain power. So brainless people are out of contest of 'being a Buddha'.

just to be a dick:

Pythons don't chew.

Buddha achieved enlightenment not through brain power, but spiritual awareness. The cellar is chock full of spiritually aware people. Godless heathens, most of em, but aware, at least.

At least she made it easy to figure out where she came up with this one.

Yeah - like Mystic, they smother the life out of their prey.

I'm a polytheistic moron - does that mean I qualify for Buddha status?
