Yeah, the pope-pope-pope-po-pope.

More popish goodness for skreidle's collection, courtesy queue: All your pope are belong to us. "Main balcony doors open."

And meryncadell's classic song about getting to see the pope:

And I cried when I saw that man in white.
I cried, much to my surrounders' delight.
I cried, 'cause I couldn’t breathe anymore; I cried
'cause people were stepping on my feet.

TNH, as usual, talks sense. (And links to things she believes, as good a read today as it was this time last year.)

pope palpatine. think about it.

[jazzfish]

oh gosh yes. I got to tell a Catholic friend "He finds your lack of faith . . . disturbing" and watch as she dissolved into uncontrollable giggles.

I love TNH's declaration of belief, and I also like pointing believer friends of mine to it.

I saw you had added me to your reading list, and we seem to have a number of mutual friends (acquaintances?), so I added you back. Hope you don't mind.

[jazzfish]

Nah, don't mind at all. Happy to see you.

We met very briefly in . . . late February? Trip to the Eastern games exhibit at, um, the Sackler gallery one weekend, plus Katamari. I may have said hello, or just been a wallflower; I'm still getting the hang of this whole 'introducing myself to people in person' thing.

Oh, good, I'm glad I'm not the only one who had the pope song running through my head during that whole thing. And who knew that Meryn had an LJ?

(Did I foist that earworm off on you, or did you come by it by completely honest means?)

[jazzfish]

Nah, that was all your fault. My memories of that tape are, oddly, tied up together with possibly-false memories of going to some sort of church-related thing with you (Sunday school, maybe?). Very odd.

[scathach.livejournal.com]

I dunno... I got the tape from a girl in my youth-group, maybe that's what you're remembering.
