In nomine Patri, et fili, et spiritu fezzi: Amen. (Reply to this comment)
by Hypotenuse
Okay, okay!
So what'd I win?
I picked the right one, and even emailed it in and everything.
Never mind the fact that I emailed in my choice the day after the official announcement. Fact is, I picked correctly.
Gimme my prize.

Old pal... (Reply to this comment)

I always get a charge out of your reviews, even those ones filled with sacrilege and gratuitous Bush bashing (which constitute, what, about 95% of em?) I cringe, yet a I laugh. Know what I mean?
Anyhoo... you nailed it, bookie monk. Ratzinger it was, and though I was hoping he would choose a more colorful papal title like Pope Wedgiebottom or Pope Nikki Sixx, he selected the more mundane Pope Benedict. All the more the shame.
And though you did peg the winner (y'suppose he's doing a victory dance right now? Screaming out "In your face, Tettamanzi!" and "Who's yo daddy, Hummes!"?), you really need to refine your handicapping skillz. There's always some dopey degenerate gambler willing to lay down his kids' college fund for some ridiculous longshot. You could maximize your take if you included, say, Sinead O'Connor or Simon Weisenthal at 1,000-1 odds.
Just a suggestion.
This is merely my way of saying, "Howdy. Haven't forgotten about you (yet)."
See the fez. Live the fez. Be the fez. And ook away, simian friend.

If you haven't read, "We Have a Pope!" you absolutely must read it now. Isn't it about time we had an American Pope?

Monkey on a pope (Reply to this comment)
by pranapana
but has much fouler smelling farts
Well that can't be right. Surely the right hand man of God should emit gasses equivalent to say.. Chanel no.5?
Do you have this on good authority?
At any rate, I suppose they could simply get a great big dog to sit in the same room to blame it on.
Unless of course it is a big black 3 headed dog.

It's Arinze at the wire (Reply to this comment)

Doubt all you want, but he'll help convert tens of millions of developing country impressionable people in Africa, plus he'll be great for deflecting the simmering tension against Catholic priests these days.
Plus, his nephew played ball for Wake Forest. How cool would it be to say, "My uncle's the pope"?

How frikken irksome (Reply to this comment)
by oldcomixfan
to see that the long overdue nomination for Father Guido Sarducci as the next Pope has been grossly overlooked yet again. He smokes, he drinks, he has radical yet thought-provoking theories on Cosmology involving opposing, paradoxical-while-simultaneous temporal flows in certain regions of Space, and, most importantly, he's just plain cool. What's not to like? What better candidate for leading the Church through the dawn of a new millenium of a better, more progressive Catholicism compared to all the rest? Really now.

Re: well kiss my ring.... (Reply to this comment)

doc: Hummes is a nice choice, as his odds have gained in response to both the volume of angry Brazilians, the reaction to the possibility of a French Pope, and the recent kidnapping accusations agains the Argentine candidate, Bergoglio.
vic: How dare you imply shennanigans in the Vatican? Why, if I were still a card-carrying Catholic, I'd see that you paid - oh, yes ... and pay dearly! But it was funny, huh? Yep, everything I post here is funny. It's about time you learned that. Dope.
zen: Muchas gracias.
Much gracias.

Thanks for the morning laugh! (Reply to this comment)
by vicfar
I had thought of writing something about the Pope, but I hesitated, because my views of him do not exactly match the outpouring of praise and the calls for sainthood coming from every corner of the world. But there is always the issue of offending sincere Catholics...now, I am glad to see someone is not bashful about that! More power to you, sir, and your hilarious satire.
For those who are naive enough to think there is (or there was) something actually "spiritual" in what goes on at the top of the Catholic Church, well - your essay finally sets the record straight!
