How do you celebrate a new Pope
Me and curly haired dude at work decided wine. New wine. Not vintage wine because that was all drunk up sending off ole JP2. Only new wine for this new Pope.Lots and lots of the blood of Christ in celebration. It doesn't roll really-Pope Benedict the XVI. That just doesn't swing, you know? Like I am accustomed to Popes swinging. Bobby Darrin would've made an excellent Pope. Pope Mack the Knife.
Okay. That was all pretty sacreligious. But luckily only my ancestors are Catholic. Not me. So I am only going to Purgatory for that. In their eyes. Being raised pagan you can only imagine my confusion.
And compound it with the fact that I just don't think Benedict is the kind of Pope I can turn to inmoments of Catholicism. I just think Benedict Arnold and how he betrayed the fledging America and that seems like a bad connotation to be giving old-and I do mean old-what? they want to go into enclave (conclave? eh, some clave) again next Tuesday? Dude is elderly-78-come on now JP2 was 86 so maybe they heads of the Church don't get to see each other often enough so they chose a really old pontif.
Me-I was hoping for a little 3rd world representation. But you know me, I am ALL ABOUT representin'.

Dude, I would have totally loved the new Pope to be named:
Pope George Ringo, I
Didn't happen, though. Damn!
Your fan,
