He's great, innee? Lovely. Never met him, mind, but I have it on good authority from people who have that he's a diamond geezer.

Hates wasps, though. Still. Not all perfect, are we? He's near as damn perfect, though. So I've been told.

However. What do we really know about him? Some kind of brain surgeon or something, isn't he? And tall. And wrapped in leather. Got a goatee, or was that ages ago? Hates wasps. Big knob, apparently. Good taste in music. Thirty-four-ish. Likes a pint.

Anyone got any dirt on him? Anyone had any dirt on him? Or is he not into that sort of thing?

I'm doing a piece for the Sun on him. That's why I ask.

Ganesh

Sax, you are a wasp what's learned to type.

Sax

14:12 / 15.12.04

Squash me and a hundred of my brothers will be here in seconds.

Ganesh

14:14 / 15.12.04

Journalists and wasps, eh?

Sekhmet

14:23 / 15.12.04

No, no. It's a nest of wasps, a scoop of journalists.

Gypsy Lantern

14:40 / 15.12.04

I think the correct term is a bar of journalists.

sleazenation

14:41 / 15.12.04

A poopscoop of journalists, perhaps.

I'd just like to say I knew Ganesh before this thread was started.

Chiropteran

16:15 / 15.12.04

But not anymore? That's a bit...inconstant.

I used to like Ganesh, you know. Back when he was underground.
He's sold out.
Sold the fuck out, I tell you.
He'll be doing penis costume adverts for Gap on MTV next.

Somebody get squashed here?

I have it on good authority that this "Ganesh" character was the ringleader of The Shropshire Seven, the dastardly fiends convicted in 1989 of the failed plot to cover Downing Street in FunFur, thus discrediting the glorious leadership of the United Kingdom.

The mastermind of this nefarious plot was never apprehended...

A Ganeshenannigan?

Heh -- it just occurred to me, years ago I wrote a theme song for this thread.

Read about it here,, then listen here (it's in the "g"s)

Om Ganesh Namas

For some reason, I imagine mister Ganesh as the doctor from Chabon's "Son of the Wolfman"- a large, portly black man with painted fingernails and beads in his hair.

How close am I? Do I have the shining?

Ganesh

22:41 / 15.12.04

You do. That's uncannily close.

alas

22:58 / 15.12.04

But Ganesh really does have an elephant head. He showed me it once, at a party, when he peeled of that scooby-doo incredibly life-like face of his. It works kind of like a jock strap for his elephant nose. But he's allergic to peanuts and loves mice. Go figure.

alas

23:00 / 15.12.04

Arggh! Peeled OFF! that's supposed to be. Damn.

Sean the frumious Bandersnatch

23:09 / 15.12.04

Of course he likes mice. All good Ganeshes do.

Sean the frumious Bandersnatch

23:13 / 15.12.04

Or is the plural Ganeeshes? Ganeshi?

netbanshee

01:00 / 16.12.04

Think Japanese... 1 Ganesh, 100 Ganesh. No plural. Of course, there is only one. Makes sense, no?

Personally my idea of him starts to appear more like Frylock in my mind. Especially that episode with the Wisdom Cube. "Tell me I've been bad..."

iamus

As well as an elephant head on his face, I've heard rumour he has another, even more secret one.

Something to do with turned out pockets or something...

Sax

06:03 / 16.12.04

Like I said. Big knob. Apparently.

Rev. Orr

09:02 / 16.12.04

Yup. A big knob. With a beard. And it's seeping...

alas

11:15 / 16.12.04

The really important question here, however, is "Do You Believe in Ganesh?"

If not, I'd like you to take a little time to ponder your personal relationship with Ganesh. Would you mind if I took a moment to witness to you, right now? To tell you about my experience of accepting Ganesh as my personal savior?

So what *exactly* does that Hitachi cover look like again?
