I See Dead People




At the time of this publishing the Pope is still alive. Let's all hear it for the Pope. The Pope seems like a pretty big deal! I wonder if I can apply for his job.

You will need to be eligible to become a bishop. Hence, you will need to be ordained, thus scuppering your chances of marrying Baby. You will also need to get everyone to ignore that you are living in sin with her.

That is a task easier achieved than most would think.

POPE FOR THE WIN.

It was a little heartwarming to see Mitch in the strip here. RIP, Mitch.

And nice reference to the "mashed potatoes" joke, Jeff.

Mitch Hedburg made us laugh. All Terry Schiavo did was notice balloons.

I care, Mitch. I care lots!

I had to break the news to lots of my inter nets friends after I first read about it here. Overcompensating.com: The REAL NEWS SOURCE

Jeff, I plan to purchase some of your goods when I get more money. The process would speed up if people would tip the pizza delivery guy (aka Me) more. Thank you for your cooperation and currency.

If the Pope dies, does this mean "Pope My Ride" is going to be cancelled?

Psh, the pope isn't dying. It is totally an april fools joke.

I don't know what I'd do if they didn't find odb. I also wonder if the catcoon can transend dimensons. What if the catcoon followed jeff into the netherworld and jeff, mitch, and odb had to fight it to get joanna back?

oh man.

I dedicated all my beer drinking to the Pope last night.

He won't die due to the fury and ferocity of my drinking of beer. He will live on.

Too bad, Jeff, I've already sent an email to the Vatican applying for Popeship. You can see it here if you want. http://www.yourlost.com/fasterforum/

Sorry, that link didn't work out very well. That URL again is: http://www.yourlost.com/fasterforum/messages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=2776.1
I think you may find some of the ideas quite rockin'. Oh, and the Pope's officially dead now.

I think that's hilarious because my friends and I were sitting around in school on Friday and kinda joking around with the Pope's state (we're not exactly strict Catholics) and then I brought up that I read on MTV news in 1st period that Mitch Hedburg died and we all got really sad.

I'll let you know how hell it. =)

Mitch was awesome. but I went to the land of the dead (Sheol) and he was nowhere to be found. This is a total hoax! But then again, the Land of the Dead is a really big place, and I mainly visited the gift shop.

CNN said that any baptized male can be nominated, but they'd have to be fasttracked to ordination and bishopy.

That, of course, means you have to be Catholic first.

Jeff if you become pope you should let me be your vice-pope. I would totally just drink all day and do nothing to help. But I would make everyone laugh with my drunken antics.

Actually I believe you need to be a cardinal to become the Pope. Cardinals are technically a lay position, so ordination is not necessary.

oboreruhito said...

You don't need to be a cardinal. Any priest can be pope. However, I don't think they've actually picked anyone but a cardinal in a bajillion danillion years.

The thing about this is that the pope is pretty much guaranteed to get the best of whatever it is that people get after they die. Mitch, on the other hand, might not exactly be in favor with the great space lizards that run this show. This is what worries me.

Dear Jefffff,
You rock. Also, thanks for rocking and mentioning a great comedian that i don't think a lot of people have given enough respect to. Rock.
Your pal,

You actually can be the Pope if you are Catholic. Any Catholic man is eligiable. If you aren't Catholic you will not be able to become Catholic in time though...
