Who's the bastard who's having a life that is full of sunshine, good health, fame, and practically perfect in every way?

I was gonna say me, but not famous and I have a tummy ache. So the spot's still up for grabs.

And I'm still working on the perfect thing, but I figure I could get credit anyway.

It is sunny out, though.

So who's the new guy?

And is there still time to get in on the pool?

My coworker gleefully reports (because it gets him out of Catholic class this evening) that we have a new pope.

Does this mean they CAN FINALLY STOP TALKING ABOUT IT NONSTOP?!?!

I get fatigue. All the ads for Jurassic Park and Batman whichever and more recently, the starwars crap made me unreasonable and violently hate them and I only saw JP years after it came out due to the kids I was taking care of. I'm rapidly approaching frothing annoyance over anything papal.

Still smoke and bells for now.

Who's the bastard who's having a life that is full of sunshine, good health, fame, and practically perfect in every way?

Not me. I'm having a pretty crappy day.

Without even bothering to look up, I keep typing and tell him, "Dude, you're not the Goblin King, and you have no power over me."

Oh, someday I want to have that sort of wit ready to hand.

Who is the Goblin King? Is it Tom Delay?

David Bowie in "Labyrinth". About as far from Inquisitor-in-Waiting Delay as you can get. Though I'm imagining a Delay vs. Goblin King smackdown.

Who's the bastard who's having a life that is full of sunshine, good health, fame, and practically perfect in every way?

The Vatican will let us know soon, I'm sure.

Does this mean they CAN FINALLY STOP TALKING ABOUT IT NONSTOP?!?!

Are you kidding. There's the life story of the new Pope and what-it-means-for-the-church stories galore to saturate the airwaves with.

Oh, someday I want to have that sort of wit ready to hand.

Hire Madrigal.

The bells are ringing... for me and my Pope...
