About this blog…
“This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque ‘salon’ with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West “saloon” with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven.” – Fr. Z

Duck…Duck…Duck…..GOOSE!
Duck….duck….duck……cardinal!!
“Now lets see…which one can I knock off with the paper airplane I’m going to make out of the program?!”
“Why is his hat different from all the others?”
“How fast would I have to run to get away with one of those hats?”
Which of these things is not like the other…
Mom – Son, which one do you think will be the next pope?
Boy – Ummmmm…..I think this man will be the pope cause he has the nicest hat, Mommy.
I wonder if they’ll notice I tied they’re shoe laces together.
Where’d all the propellers go?
m
Hmmm….should I give the wet willie with Holy Water?
Vincenzo!!!!
Ok – here’s mine:
“Ummmm….that’s my Sponge Bob you’re sitting on”
Mom: “Where’s Billy?”
“The phone theme ruined my surfing experience!” No wait, that’s not the caption for the photo, it’s the caption for my life! :)
My wife grabbed my iphone because I was scrolling too fast and now she’s saying that the blog is “all screwed up”. The theme has destroyed domestic harmony… it is the novus ordo of themes!
Seriously though, it’s the first time I’ve seen it, is it new or has it really been that long since I’ve checked this blog on my phone?
(and for goodness sake is there any way for iphone users to opt out of it? I paid $600 for “the real internet” by gum, and “the real internet” is what I intend to have. I’m not complaining, no, really, I’m not, I’m just having a geek attack.)
‘Hmm. One of these guys in a red beanie is my uncle, but which one?’
Where’d all the propellers go?
Thats my favorite LOL
I betcha those hats taste better than my finger.
Oh No! Those were HATS?!?!
“Hmmm … if only the watered silk cassock, the galero, and honkin’ huge tassels on the fascia were to return … then all would be right with the world.”
Young Zuhlsdorf’s visions of his future!
When I grow up…
That was easy, now to steal a stole!
I WANT ONE TOO!!
Eeny, meeny, miny, moe, catch a Cardy by the toe. If he hollers Latin, let him go….eeny, meeny, miny, moe.
“Ring ring ring ring ring, il Bananaphone…”
Where can I put this Gum?
Here, in an ancient photograph, we see the future Pope John XXV looking upon the Cardinals of the Catholic Church.
Eeeny, meeny, miney, moe. Catch a Cardinal by the toe. If he’s liberal, let him go. Eeeny, meeny, miney, moe. Whoops, Cardinal Mahony. Gotta do it all over again. Eeeny, meeny, miney, moe…
“Darn, they’re all too high up to reach. Oh — but not that one!”
I think I’m in the wrong building, despite the red hats. Can somebody tell me where the Linux conference is?
“When I get that old, I’m opting for a toupee”
Hey, I like the Packers too, but now you’re taking the cheesehead thing TOO far!
I wonder which hat fits me best?
“Wow… Do those come in a 4-T?”
He’s sitting on my dummy…

Mom said I had to give it to the man in the red hat. Gee, Mom. Who would have thought I’d ever see more than one man in a red hat?
In an old near Venice
sat in one little line
were five new cardinals
— and one of them’s mine!
