Same thing happened to me in 5th grade, it wasn't in Puerto Rico though it was just shitass Garland

My location wasn’t really very exotic, but it was a place of honor.

It was in the chapel of the Rodriquez Army Hospital at Fort Brooke about 1953, and most of the “parishoners” were recovering wounded Puerto Rican veterans of the Korean War. 
Guess I provided them with a little bit of entertainment that Christmas.

Boy, they really struggle with the whole 'love your neighbor' thing, don't they?

You mean with their “friends in Austin”?

From the comments: “A pope got picked in less time than Shadeur.”

I was gonna say fourth round (i.e., fourth ballot), more potential than Shadeur.

checking in on the 121st world series participants, the chicago cubs and the chicago white sox:

the white sox are 10-27, last in the american central, at the bottom of the american league

the cubs are 22-16, 1st in the national central, but only 6th in national league

both sides will immediately adopt a new 7th-inning-stretch traditioni:

Duc me ad ludum pilae,

Duc me cum turba;

Eme mihi arachides et Cracker Jack,

Non curo si numquam revertar.

Sine me favere, favere, favere pro turma domestica

Si non vincunt, ignominia est.

Nam uno, duobus, tribus iactibus, exieris,

In vetere ludo pilae!

So is he a Cubs fan or South Side? Personally, I prefer the White Sox over the Cubs, but I'll take a Cubs fan over a Yankees fan any day. Fuck the Yankees. And btw, fuck the Dodgers. Because fuck the Dodgers and fuck the Yankees. Duh.

 

 

PLOT TWIST!!!

Somebody made the edit.  I just wish they would have dubbed in “And now, from Chicago, your new Pope, Robert Preeeeeevooooooost!”

 

If that song/intro didn't give you chills before the tipoff of Game 1 of virtually every Eastern Conference Finals in the 90's, I hate you, and I need you to not be alive anymore.

I'm pretty sure that in 1999 and 1994 neither the Pacers nor the Knicks used it. Same in 1995 but with the Pacers and the Magic.

Fine. Game 1 or 3 if you want to be pedantic.

Also....how did we not hone in on this earlier (or did I miss it)?  He's the literal Blues Brother pope - he's from Chicago, and he's on a mission from God.  

Somebody needs to dispatch 4 fried chickens and a coke, and some dry white toast, to the Vatican, stat.

 there were pictures of Jake and Elwood Blues earlier in this thread and an Illinois Nazi joke just above you. 

 

So you definitely missed it, but I assume you're also on the phone with a client

Goddamnit, I'm getting surly af over the comments that "he's not the first American pope." Mother fuckers, the USA is the only country in the Americas that has the word America in its name. Argentinains don't call themselves fucking Americans, they call themselves Argentinians. The term "American" has been universally accepted as the nationality of a person from the United States of America. It doesn't step on anyone else's toes. People from Canada are Canadians, people from Colubia are Columbians, etc., etc. Nobody else in the Americas uses the term "American" as a reference to their nationality. Pretty sure most would be pissed if you called them "American." Every third comment on every article that refers to him as the first American pope. That statement is correct because, again, its referring to nationality, not which fucking string of continents someone may have been born on. So fucking annoying.

There are very few things that annoy me to that extent, but it's so goddamned repetetive right now, driving me nuts.

Talking to my mom this evening.

Her: "We have a new pope. Another liberal pope."

Me: "Well, Jesus seemed pretty liberal."

Subject changed immediately.
