the pope

[low_delta]

Today's paper had a special section on the pope. 27 of 36 pages. Three fourths of the news reported today was about the pope! Here's my version of the pope's death: He died. April fool! He's not dead! Okay, now he's dead. Now go look him up on the internet if you want to know more.

I mean no disprespect to the pope. Just the newpapers.

And in other news... I can no longer say, when asked whether something is a sure thing, "is the pope Polish?"

This has nothing to do with the pope, but we can't even be sure that bears shit exclusively in the woods, since wild spaces are getting so small. I wouldn't be surprised if, somewhere in California, a bear once shit in a driveway.

The sky isn't always blue, but the sun continues to rise in the east, even though that's a bit boring.

LOL.
Actually, we had a bear in a hot tub a few years back...I'm sure he pee'd at the very least.

[zitronenhai.livejournal.com]

Ha! How could he resist? All that warm water, bubbling through his belly fur, warming his bear bladder...

Shit, I should've said "shat" in my original comment. And I'm the one bitching about verb tense all the time.

It just hit me that all eMacs come Airport-ready. So, it doesn't matter where you guys put the wireless thing and the modem - could be anywhere, and you can move the computers around at will.

I can see another bit coming up in the weekend update segment of SNL:
"the pope is still dead."

remember chevy chase doing that with Franco?

[low-delta.livejournal.com]

Nor would I be surprised if they had done the "April fool!" joke that I just did.

No, I don't remember that.

I'd been waiting for someone to do an april fool thing with terri schiavo. there's been enough bad taste surrounding that one, I wouldn't have been the least surprised.

oops. you're younger than I remembered-you likely weren't watching in the beginning. I think chevy chase and jane curtin alternated with the franco thing. one or the other of them would, at some point during weekend update, announce "and this just in, Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead."

there's a little more background on those early years here. (http://www.signonsandiego.com/entertainment/remote/20050218-9999-1c18remote.html)

Yeah, I wasn't watching in the Beginning. I wish I knew when I started being able to watch it. I know I saw it live, back in the day. But I've still seen enough in reruns that I'm surprised I don't recognize that Franco bit. Maybe it was too topical to survive to reruns.

I've always heard "is the Pope Catholic?"

I proved my extreme brilliance again one time when the conversation I was having created a perfect opportunity to use that line "is the Pope Catholic?". But me, with my quick wit and agile tongue, managed to screw it up, and by the time my tongue got untangled, what came out of my mouth was actually "Is the Pope Jewish?"

It doesn't have quite the same affect.

[low-delta.livejournal.com]

No, doesn't quite work. :-D

How about, "does the pope shit in the woods?" Has about the same effect as yours.
