I can't understand a word the pope is saying...

[alexd]

At first, I thought it was only me, or maybe he was speaking in tongues or something...

But then I noticed that news shows have started to run english subtitles in english even when he is speaking english.

SO now I feel better.

End of story.

He's gonna kick it when he comes to Toronto this summer.

Wouldn't that be cool?

LOL!
It's like listening to some Carribean people; damn they speak FAST!
I wish some people came with subtitles....*sigh*

They have a store next to the Pit on Yonge St. already selling papal world youth day memorabilia. I read in the star that they were saying WYD memorabillia sales are really low in Toronto.
Maybe all the yout' are buying records at the Pit instead.

I think the Vatican is pulling a "Weekend at Bernie's" ruse...

I am not too up on the papal legalities, but I think they can't replace him until he dies. Now that's job security!

The TTC staff are probably just dying to get that in their next contract!

or not, depends on how you look at it

 

[TaCk OnE?]

the guys sick nearly to the point of death, born in Polland, lives in Italy, and is speaking english....what did you expect, shakspearian theatre pronunciation?

fuck, I can hardly understand half the people on talk shows and they're all born and raised in an english environment.

 

[kyfe]

to clarify the pope speaks Ingrish.

[alexd]

sure. the pope would be way more effective if he spoke like Jean Luc Picard.

Just think: he could stand purposefully in the popemobile, straighten out the pope hat, and say "engage".

It would be a kodak/fuji moment.

 

[djcheezwhiz]

alex...perhaps you could contact them about placing a banner on tribe

I think he'd have to be able to stand first, I heard he has a bum leg from a game of pick-up b-ball with the cardinals...

I thought the only game of pick-up that priests and cardinals played, involved little boys...........................

 

[alexd]

They have "pope on a rope" soap at the world youth day store I think. And candles. Lots of candles.

Leaning down like that probably makes for less wind resistance. You would think with the pope hat fully deployed there would be severe wind drag and maybe even a kite-ing effect.

Well...

It wasn't too long ago that Canadian senators had the same kind of job security.

Anyhow, I'm looking forward to WYD ... bring on the sexy Catholic babes!!

I think the Pope is really dead and they have pupeeters above him to make him look like he's alive.

*c*

 

[KickIT]

A la, Weekend at John Paulsies.

*chuckles*

Apparently, he is supposed to be the last Pope ever before the end of the world!!!!

Oh my.

Alex i think for one of the summer tribe covers you should feature a chick in a pope hat holding a huge cross that just covers the bits you can't show as an honorary appreciation for the pope's visit.

Speaking of which.... who wants to go to World Youth Day?

=tina=

 

[JayIsBored]

that's hot!

or if you want to have something for the gay tribe readers (ie tearer) you could have some musclehead s&m leatherclad priest luring at justin-like twink alterboy into a confessional booth
