Who will be the next Pope?

Nothing But Net · 04-01-2005, 01:47 AM

I nominate this man, and he gets the bulletproof PopeMobile thrown in for free:

Does it actually have to be bulletproof?

wolf · 04-01-2005, 11:52 AM

I'll nominate NBN ... I'm sure I have a relative somewhere who is a cardinal. So, NBN, what will you pick for your pope name?

BigV · 04-01-2005, 12:31 PM

As reported on Fox News, the pope has died, but only after he made several (?) appointments, promotions.

The Vatican's server appears to be overloaded. I guess everyone is going straight to the horse's mouth for information.

Since I'm already going to hell for being a lapsed catholic, this won't make it hurt any worse ...

The Dead Collector: What?
Large Man with Dead Body: Nothing. There's your ninepence.
The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I'm not dead.
The Dead Collector: 'Ere, he says he's not dead.
Large Man with Dead Body: Yes he is.
The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I'm not.
The Dead Collector: He isn't.
Large Man with Dead Body: Well, he will be soon, he's very ill.
The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I'm getting better.
Large Man with Dead Body: No you're not, you'll be stone dead in a moment.
The Dead Collector: Well, I can't take him like that. It's against regulations.
The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I don't want to go on the cart.
Large Man with Dead Body: Oh, don't be such a baby.
The Dead Collector: I can't take him.
The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I feel fine.
Large Man with Dead Body: Oh, do me a favor.
The Dead Collector: I can't.
Large Man with Dead Body: Well, can you hang around for a couple of minutes? He won't be long.
The Dead Collector: I promised I'd be at the Robinsons'. They've lost nine today.
Large Man with Dead Body: Well, when's your next round?
The Dead Collector: Thursday.
The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I think I'll go for a walk.
Large Man with Dead Body: You're not fooling anyone, you know. Isn't there anything you could do?
The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I feel happy. I feel happy.
[the Dead Collector glances up and down the street furtively, then silences the Body with his a whack of his club]
Large Man with Dead Body: Ah, thank you very much.
The Dead Collector: Not at all. See you on Thursday.
Large Man with Dead Body: Right.

Oh, this is a bummer. I liked JPII. I thought he was very cute. I'm sorry he's dead. Poor guy-he was so sick and he tried so hard over Easter. May he rest in peace.

smoothmoniker · 04-01-2005, 01:42 PM

I nominate Bono. Since he didn't get the world bank gig, maybe he could head the church instead.

wolf · 04-01-2005, 01:59 PM

I can see it all, in my mind's eye ....

(screen gets wavery, focus resolves on ... pope's sickbed, Vatican City)

Cardinal in Charge of Making Sure the Pope is Dead: That is it. Il Papa has breathed his last. We must destroy his ring and papal seal, organize the College of Cardinals, and notify the faithful.

JPII: April Fools!!!

Trilby · 04-01-2005, 02:37 PM

Hey! The Pope isn't dead yet!! What's going on? He's dead, he's not dead, he's dead....what is this? I can't rest until I know!

lookout123 · 04-01-2005, 02:41 PM

well, now there is no ambiguity for Schiavo, so we had to move on to the next one.

Its like the freaking Kremlin over there. I'll second Bono once I'm sure I'm not getting called up to the show.

Nothing But Net · 04-01-2005, 07:30 PM

Wolf,

My papal name would be John Paul George Ringo I, naturally.
