The Internet Oracle has pondered your question deeply.
Your question was:

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

} This incarnation (who's still rather new at this) has pondered your
} question for some time.  I came up with several respones.  The first
} was:
} 
} 
}      ZZZZZZ   OOOO    TTTTT  !!
}          Z   O    O     T    !!
}         Z    O    O     T    !!
}        Z     O    O     T    !!
}       Z      O    O     T
}      ZZZZZZ   OOOO      T    !!
} 
} 
} but that's a bit too obvious.  Next, I considered:
} 
} 
}      I'm sorry, but your grovel and most of your question seems to
}      have accidentally been deleted by my new e-mail filters.  Could
}      you please try sending it again?
} 
} 
} but that's not terribly funny, is it?  Then I thought about:
} 
} 
}      Yes.
} 
} 
} But again, that's too easy.  So I considered stealing another
} incarnation's shtick.

}      You owe the Oracle a free upgrade to version 1.0,
}      when it becomes available.

} 
} but stealing another incarnation's material just isn't this
} incarnation's thing.
} 
} I briefly considered just:
} 
} 
}      !!
}      !!
}      !!
}      !!
} 
}      !!
} 
} 
} but again, it's too obvious.
} 
} I needed something truly original.  Something that would tickle the
} priests to death, get digested, receive nothing but 5s, and be the
} talk of rhod for days.  Then it finally occurred to me!  Yes, this
} answer was indeed The One:
} 
} 
}     Well, Supplicant, that certainly is a poser, isn't it?  First,
} Error:  Max file size exceeded.  File truncated.

Notes: I really did take some time to consider the appropriate response to this. And I really did consider each of these responses until I came up with the punchline above. Well I thought it was funny, anyway.

The OARP bit really was stolen from some digests (#1313 and #1315). I just modified it as appropriate for this question and used a variation on an old joke ("Cutie, are you 18?") for the query file name.
