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

Looks like it could be a scene in a Quentin Tarantino movie right before some big fight breaks out.
LOL!
The White Crusader.
Man do I love him!
Quentin Tarantino is exactly what I was thinking about.

I am seeing a 360 degree run around the door opening, Matrix-style.

Maybe you should be the one to develop the WDTPRS logo… seriously!
Father,
You look like a better looking version of James Gandolphini, but more hair.
ROTFL Vincenzo!!!!!!!!
Vincenzo:
How’d you post that picture?
They actually look like a group of Seminarian Thugs!
What dicastery is Steve Buscemi (far right) going to head?
May I suggest the Pontifical Commission for the Wood-Chipper Destruction of all Guitars and Tambourines?
Okay, here’s my attempt at the Right Stuff………..
Enjoy….
ROFL!!
Fr. Z, you need to put up a link to some folder with miscellaneous photos of you. We photo-editing geeks like to have raw material from which we can work, and all you have now is just that simple photo on your title bar. As you can see, it takes a little doing to make it work. Even Vincenzo had to stretch it a bit.
Glad you liked it. That makes it worth the time.
