Il Papa

May 1, 2005

My new favorite blog. Man, I dig the new Pope. And he’s cute as a button:

Dr. Evil, anyone? Some believe he signals the end of the world. And this really might.

    HAHAHA! I love that new blog. It’s so stinking funny. I had to forward the link to a couple of my Catholic friends. They’re a little(!) more conservative than I am; I hope they think it’s funny. ๐Ÿ™‚ Thanks for the belly laugh.

    I’m getting little worried about this obsession of yours. Rosa (and I) think you may need some medication. ๐Ÿ™‚

    I think he looks kinda like Robert Blake. Blech!
    Well, the way I figure, I am probably going to Hell, and most of my friends are, too. Therefore, it will be one Helluva party down there!
    That blog is hysterical.

    Oh, you are so right. Move the extended pinky finger a little closer to the face – say to the lips, and you’ve got your Dr. Evil. One creepy individual, even without that, though, if you ask me.

    Ooh, take a look at the picture on this site:
    http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/04/25/AR2005042500797.html Now, enlarge it. I know many people would say his hair is a bit disheveled, but I’m thinking, “Is that a horn?” You decide.
    And, that other picture you posted. Now that I take a second look, I swear he’s saying, “Come here little boy. Would you like a piece of candy.” I’m telling you – creepy.

    Hahaha! Thanks for the link. Though I can think of a lot of other things that might signal the end of the world (or at least the imminent fall of western
    “civilization”)… sigh. Like the Porsche Cayenne. Or Tom Cruise dating that teenager from Dawson Creek. Call me a pessimist.

    I kind of can’t believe he casts a reflection…
