I thought Lunatic Goofballs was. Do you mean to say I've been reading the encyclicals of a false prophet? Ye God!

And Lunatic Goofballs: if you have any morals at all, you will return the $4,000 I've given to you in your collection plate.

If we really don't have a Pope, we'll need to elect a new one.
I would like to nominate the current incarnation of the Swede whose name always begins with "Fas..." Having risen from the grave not once but twice, he would make a powerful Pope.

As the WIFE of DCD (see the whole Aunt thing in my sig) I must protest the removal of my dear departed husband as Pope. He isn't DEAD, you know... just gone.


Well, ok, he is dead, but if I admit that, the Social Security checks get cut off.


Plus, I still have the hat. So that makes ME the Pope, doesn't it?

Perhaps we should have some proper nominations given with proposals of what people would do if they were pope. What would their official dress be, what music would they play in services, what new rules they would introduce etc.

Thad be a good letter,

Dear cardinals;

We, the good? people of NSG are seeking to elect a new pope, and we want to do it the proper way. Our preferatti are as follows; LG, who had enbezzled $12,000+ from his flock, Fass, a homosexual, United bearland, who doesn't beleive in the biblical god, and DCD, who is "dead". please vote on this matter when you have the chance, and thank you.

Signed on the behalf of a few dozen;

Also, a crashing organ chord will play whenever three or more Cardinals enter a public place. Nobody expects that.

So... I still have DCD's hat. (Actually, a couple of years ago, I wrote a movie script that was centered around the idea that the HAT is what makes the Pope infallible... a comedy that I hope someday will star Steve Buscemi but that is beside the point). While I think this automatically makes me Pope until someone else wrestles it from my cold, dead hand, I am open to other ideas.

Personally, I am pro the prospect of persons pursuing Popehood putting pen to paper and producing proposals and platforms, please.

They don't have to be alliterative, though.
