His Holiness, Pope Penis-Thumb the First


Don't make me use the iron claw, Monsignor Renfield!

(official photo courtesy of Jesus' General) It's a definite coup for Paleolithic, blood-sucking bat-people. He has taken the name Benedict XVI, "Benedict" being Latin for "Stop shrieking about birth control pills, you filthy harlots of Babylon!" More later. Keep voting!

The hand-gestures are a dead giveaway. If we rip off his mask, we'll discover that the cardinals just elected Rumsfeld to be the next pope.

Pope Adolph I sez: Ein Reich, Ein Volk, Ein Papa!

As he can choose his own name, I'm torn between him being Pope Panzerschrek, Popernator, or just Ratzinger. Of course it's all up to God and I have no say in it.

I don't know if this is a caption competition, but my contribution is,
"Come my minions, bring forth a plague to cause misery and death across the entire non-catholic world, or maybe just the Jews, ha ha ha ha"

Oh my god I was too late. I've been too busy looking at blogs to worry about the real news. Herr Hitlerjugend is the grand prize winner. And he's going for the title of Pope Benedict XVI. How lame. Boo.

Benedict is terrifically lame. I would be much happier with a Pope Corwin, or even a Pope Random.

Pope Diddy?

"Dear brothers and sisters, after the great Pope John Paul II, the cardinals have elected me — a simple, humble worker in the vineyard of the Lord," he said, adding "I VILL ASK ZE QUESTIONS!"

It's The New Pope™.

Wonder how long it will be before they go back to Pope Classic™

All hail Pope Skeletor!

Pope Tarts. Ha. If blasphemy's wrong, I don't wanna be right.

Posted by: Vestal Vespa at April 19, 2005 03:22 PM

Pope "Eggs" for short.

boring boring boring.

this whole-choose-a-pope thing would only be cool if the new infalliable one got that chance to kill somebody upon ascension, or could choose one living person to damn for eternity.

THAT would make sitting and watching for different colored smoke worth waiting for.

I think they should suspend bungee cords inside the Great Basilica, and tie cardinals to said cords, and they can vie for the papacy to the death using a variety of cutting implements and blunt objects.

Theodome! Two cardinals enter....one pope leaves. WHO RUN VATICANTOWN?!

C'mon, Reuters, tell us how you really feel about it:

Arch-Conservative German Ratzinger Elected Pope

Or, all the popes could come together and become the Might Morphin Power Pope.

Sorry, I'm on a Power Rangers tear this week . . .

How about just Pope Penishands. I know it's just the thumb but Penishands rolls of the tongue better.

My co-workers were looking for an excuse to have another pot luck after Easter...so we came up with a Pope-luck theme. Pope-corn shrimp or chicken,angel hair pasta-pope style, pope-overs, pope-lish sausage, pope-tato casserole, fried pope-tatoes, pope-tato-pancakes, pope-tato chips and trinity dip-ranch,salsa, cheese of course, cardinal-asade, for dessert-angel food cake, pope-cicles, pope-tarts, our beverages included-pope-si or diet pope-si, holy bottled water, and communion wine (grape juice). We spiraled out of control with our activities-hokey-popey,bingo holy water pope-lo, pin the trach on the pope, ring around the rosary, pope-goes the weasel, pope-n-lock, pope eating contest, pope-toss, and a good ole round of confession! WE are going to hell! Now that the new guy is here- we could add to the main course- eggs benedict!!!! What do Catholics like to do???? Eat at wakes and after church! I think he would laugh with us! I tried to convince others sneering at us that is was a celebration-no one bought it! We are nurses in ICU!!!
