Hermes can change his speech at will—for example, when he’s in disguise—but naturally he talks like a surfer dude.
We toyed with the idea of giving Hermes a winged surfboard to ride around on, but we decided that maybe that’d be taking one too many liberties.

I did not know Ashton Kutcher was the Messenger God…but sudden;y Greek Mythology makes a lot more sense.

“Happens to everyone their first time.”
I wonder if ole Hermes here is talking about deity-greeting or time-traveling? Because that could be a potentially significant distinction. Maybe.

@Dierna
Of course he’s from California. What, do you think you get that kind of golden glow from being holed up three-quarters of the year living in Chicago?

The thing about time travel is that it is partially impossible. See if you successfully travel back in time there is a 99.8726593% that you will also travel to an alternate universe that is radically different from your own. Generally that difference is your appearance at that time as well as any changes you may have made. Like when Superman went back in time and saved Abraham Lincoln’s life, stopped Atlantis from sinking and SAVED KRYPTON! Then came back to the present and found that none of that had happened.
