Are we, the people, in on the hiring process for the Pope’s successor? Now that bananas have been shared with the world, what do we ask of this new Pope? I’d like to see a checklist. Perhaps Google would unearth one.

That makes sense, because as everyone knows, a Franciscan monk is responsible for introducing bananas to the island of Santo Domingo in 1516, from where the delicious fruit spread throughout the Caribbean, and then Central and South America. http://home.t-online.de/home/schulz.thomas/histo-e.htm

Shiny, shiny pope. He really was one of our shiniest. Besides being the most on-the-ground working and humanitarian and inclusive (as far as that goes with the Holy See) and all that.

I thoroughly enjoyed the time spent lost in Vienna traffic, during our visit, fyi. But what did I tell you about the toting of chocolates and/or bags of nuts?! Do I have to sign you up for the chocolates and bags of nuts (and big vats of tempera, yum) of the month club? 0<:-*
(that’s my beatified papal smiley)

i never get accosted by missionaries while m. always does. i think this is due to the fact that i glare at them from 200 yards ahead while m. just absentmindedly stares at them.

my favorite part of this post is how the phrase ‘scrambled eggs’ occurs so close to the word ‘lobotomy.’ Subtle and so effective.
