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

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Hilarious!
Great job, Father! I love these types of humorous posts. It lightens my mood. Thanks.
That was funny!!! :-D
That was great.
Cute.
Does anyone know what Mel’s doing next? I know he recently finished shooting a cop drama here in Boston.
I’m still holding out hope for an Edmund Campion biopic or Benson’s COME RACK! COME ROPE!
I wish I hadn’t read the comments before I started the clip. That was funny.
i think it’s kind of stupid…and below Mel, considering some of the substantial and edifying work he has done in the past
Mel does have a sense of humor. And he doesn’t take himself seriously.
I was completely suckered….nice one, Mel (and Father :-)
Another devotional film, so soon?
-L
So that’s what rich sedevacantists do in their spare time.
Who said that?
God bless Mel!
I see Mel is still hard at work ingratiating himself to the PETA folks…
Mel will stimulate sizzling doctrinal debates with his hermeneutic of Kentucky.
I’ll never be able to look at another bucket of chicken in the same way again.
Finger lickin’ good!
What a great laugh…thank you!
So, was it extra crispy or regular?
Ha, i was completely fooled!
And extra funny for me, because in reality Col. Sanders was a member of my Fraternity. But I may like this version better…
“We’re gonna need a bigger bucket.”
I loved it. Sometimes the world needs a good laugh. (Watch Sullivan’s Travels, 1941)
I knew something was afoot as soon as I saw Mel with the outrageous mustache! It looked too comical to take him seriously. FWIW
Guess where we are heading for lunch today? IT is FAT TUESDAY and I am sure the Colonel has what we are looking for.

For those who don’t know, the plantation shown is the famous Oak Alley in Louisiana, now a B&B.

I love fried Chicken and KFC (an frat bro once was Pres of the company)–but I think Popeye’s is far superior.
So much passion. So much pain.
I like the undertones of hope and survival, that we all can make it through such hardships as long as we don’t lose that which is most important to us… our “11th spice”.
Mel never disappoints me. This was fantastic.
And, Dan, I’ll take a sedevacantist any day over the novus ordo. Oops, who said that?
I have no clue what that was or why anybody would find it amusing. Weird television humor I guess. Never watch the stuff.
What the … ?
Seriously?
Anyone who takes a shot at KFC is ok by me. Isn’t the company owned by Pepsi Cola, one of the biggest supporters (big money) of Planned Parenthood?
Of course “PopeYes” is the bird of choice. And I think it is clear that Mr. Gibson in attacking KFC [not to be confused with KofC, or is it?] and therefore supporting PopeYes is signaling an impending rapprochement with the present pontificate.
