World Series Poper

You may have heard that the Pope has resigned. First Pope to do so in 600 odd years apparently. Normally the Pontiff's retirement party features a coffin. Not this time.

My mate Al is a committed Catholic. In fact a few years ago when Pope Benedict visited Australia Al and I went to see him in Sydney (along with a couple of hundred thousand other people).

Upon hearing the news yesterday I sent Al a text.

No more German Shepherd

After a bit of repartee Al came up with the brilliant idea that:

The modern church should hold a "Pope Idol" contest to choose a successor.
He also offered "Pimp my Pope".

I liked the idea and so we started brainstorming Reality Style TV shows to choose the new Pope.

Me:  "The Choice"

Al: "No Queer Eye for the Vatican Guy"

Me:  "Savivor"

Al: venturing away from the reality genre- "How I met your Pope"

Me:  "The Amazing Grace"

Me:  "Masterchief"

Al:  "Two and a half Popes"

Me:   "My Pontiff Rules"

Al:  "Extreme Popeover"

Al:  "Law and Odear we need a new Pope"

Me: "Popey Days"

Me:  "The Vatican wants a Pope"

Me:  "Vatman"

Me:  "The Biggest Pray-er"

Me:  "Dancing with the Cardinals"

Al:  "So You think you're Infallible"

and my personal favourite

"World Series Poper", with the tagline  "Just gotta play the Cards right"

We kept ourselves amused for over an hour!
