And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

It says, "Dude - you've stopped the Pope!?!?!"

"Give me a ticket, go to Hell"

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I love the anti-Popes. For years I used to make jokes about how we must never let an anti-Pope come into contact with a Pope, because the resulting explosion would destroy the solar system.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

I wonder what his drivers license says?

Class I for Infallible. If the popemobile crashes, it is the road that is at fault.

Apart from sports, "my secret favorite thing on earth is ketchup. I will put ketchup on anything. But it has to be Heinz." - my husband, Michael Vartan

I wonder what his drivers license says?

But doesn't someone else drive the Popemobile? So that his hands are free for waving?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Sweetie, that's the sign of the cross, not waving.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Cruise control...

If I only had a brain...

They're reading the Rosary in Italian on the Vatican steps. it's surprisingly soothing.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

There is only one explanation: There must be two Popes.

Schism!!

Sorry. Actually, the reason there were two John XXIII was because the first one was a schismatic one back in the day who was really horrible and corrupt that the modern-day one decided to negate the first one's very existance and pretend he never existed.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Well, I think his real name is Pope John Paul, just as Elizabeth HP is my real name now, although I was born Elizabeth H.
Now I wonder -- I had a great aunt (or something) who was a nun, and we always called her by her family name, not her nun name. I wonder what was on her passport?

There's issues there too personal for this board.

Wait, what? You're not going to get into every detail of your family life with thousands of strangers on the internet? That's just wack, man.

You can't leave me to my own devices; my devices are Nap and Eat. -Zenkitty

Sean, you're sposed to flip to a random page.

Of course!

Okay, I turned on the TV to catch the info about the Pope, and they're interviewing people on the street, and the two people they talked to made my brain hurt.

On woman said "Oh, I'm sure he'll recover, he's recovered before."

Ummm..... I have my doubts this time.

Then a man said "I'm praying to God that he'll get just a little longer with us."

Why? Because he's being such an effective Pope in his current condition? Because there will never be another Pope again?

People make my brain hurt.
