Shecky:
It was a beautiful, starry night, and whoever was in charge of Meteorological Omens needed an old-fashioned ass-kicking. I mean, if you can't rely on the weather for classic dramatic clichés telling you to get it in gear, it's too easy to get caught with your metaphorical pants around your figurative ankles.
Or, in my case, literal pants around actual ankles. Not a dignified position in which to start Armageddon, even a baby Armageddon. In a way, though, it was awfully convenient, because seeing Gabriel himself getting bitch-slapped through your very own, previously-unentered-by-supernatural-beings bathroom window is fairly likely to cause a reaction that makes having a toilet right there a very good thing. A very good thing.

Nope. That one just popped into my head and I thought I'd share.
Starbeam:
It sorta reminds me of Good Omens. Same sense of humor.
Shecky:
With good reason - I think Good Omens may be the funniest novel I've ever read. Combine that with Jim-style snark and it's just what I want to grow up to be. ;)
