Pope Carrot Top I?

Did not see that coming.

rainbird on March 13, 2013 at 11:41 AM

I'm hoping for a more modern name. Something like Pope Breezy D.

Gern Blanston on March 13, 2013 at 11:44 AM

This is more exciting than waiting for Best Picture at the Oscars!

@2: Habemus uranus.

rob! on March 13, 2013 at 11:44 AM

I always wondered how to spell "pope-y". Thanks!

. . . and the born-again Protestants proclaim him the Anti-Christ in 3 . . .2 . . .1 . . .

I'm really hoping it'll be an old man!! I mean that would be SOOOO TOTALLY OUT OF THE ORDINARY!!!!!!

Last of the Time Lords on March 13, 2013 at 11:49 AM

Wonder why it's taking so long to announce him.

I'm hoping it involves wacky hijinks.

rainbird on March 13, 2013 at 12:01 PM

I wonder why @11's number thing doesn't show in the upper right hand corner of his post.

After two named John-Paul, I'm hoping for a George-Ringo

Oh shit -- now it's there. I feel so stupid.

I was listening to 'Talk of the Nation' when they interrupted with this dumb news. Ken Rudin had said he heard a rumor that if it was orange smoke that bellowed up Carrot Top would be the appointee. Hahaha.

mikethehammer on March 13, 2013 at 12:05 PM

It's Ru Paul!

midwaypete on March 13, 2013 at 12:05 PM

My co-worker just observed that the Cardinals need a better offense, not a new Pope.

@2
"Habemus Papem"

The pedophilia is assumed.

Lymis on March 13, 2013 at 12:07 PM

@1
If you believe the prophecy of St. Malachy, this will be the last pope. They can brick it up after.

Lymis on March 13, 2013 at 12:08 PM

@18: you beat me to it.

aureolaborealis on March 13, 2013 at 12:10 PM

Can't remember where I saw this, maybe here:

> "How's that pope-y change-y thing workin' out for ya?"

rainbird on March 13, 2013 at 12:11 PM

He's only 76! I guess he carried the youth vote.

heywhatsit!? on March 13, 2013 at 12:15 PM

Lighten up, Pope Francis.

rainbird on March 13, 2013 at 12:17 PM

@13 for the win.

on March 13, 2013 at 12:50 PM

Who is this "we?" I don't need a pope and I don't want a pope.

tkc on March 13, 2013 at 12:53 PM

Yeah, I'm with tkc @25... who is this "we" you're talking about?
Ain't my pope. My pope's name is Pope Phabulous.

treacle on March 13, 2013 at 1:03 PM

@25: I third that, and am proudly non-Catholic!!

auntie grizelda on March 14, 2013 at 1:08 AM

@25
Well, it's a bit late now. If you didn't want one, you should have said so before they went to all this trouble.

Kids today. Always ungrateful. Next you'll be saying you don't want an archbishop.
