Harlan Ellison is my god. I worship him. From now on I will worship Crow T. Robot for mentioning him. So, Crow, how does it feel to be a demigod?

Hrm...should I explain my joke, that I want that person to actually write their paper on Harlan Ellison, with a really sharp pen, thus causing him terrible physical pain, as the tip of the writing implement carves deep grooves in his pasty flesh...or should I pretend to like him, thus earning the eternal worship of this nubile young woman, who would undoubtably, finding me a demigod, be willing to do stuff like bake me cookies, and maybe we could even rent a video and sit and watch it and hold hands and I could eat the cookies she baked for me...what should I do? What should I do?

No, I don't even mind the joke. I liked it. But the fact that you even mentioned Harlan makes you good enough for demigod status.
