Title: Notifying the Pope that he's a Pope
Post by: Q. G. Pennyworth on October 01, 2015, 02:15:47 PM
I know Joe already Poped the Pope on bookface, but I don't think the pontiff has been formally notified yet. We should write a letter.

From the desk of Reverend Dubya
High Mixer of Kool Aid
Cornfed Cabal of the Greater Iowan Empire

To His Holiness, Pope Francis

Your Holiness,

Goddess has grabbed me by the short hairs this morning and bid me do her will.

To wit, she wishes to let you know that before you were invested with the office of the pontiff, you were already a pope.

In proof and illustration of this fact, I present you with this Holy Pope Card. [See insert A]

Popehood works a little differently in Discordia's eyes, but I'm certain that if you diligently study the included materials [See insert B] you'll have it down in no time.

Good luck, sir.

Sincerely,

Reverend Dubya, HMKA

Insert A - Pope Card (1) Double Sided
Insert B - Highlights from the PD, BIP (yet to compile, because it's my day off and I want to be a lazy ass)

Thoughts?

Do you mean me? I remember deleting a post about this that had a meth pipe diagram as a pic, but that's all.

Oh, I thought that was a thing you posted. Sorry, my brain is worthless sometimes. Anyway, Popeing the Pope is kinda lulzy to me.

It is. This one clearly deserves it! I only deleted the post because of the meth pipe diagram. Is all good. Gonna read this more thoroughly later.

Go right ahead.  The words are basically Dubya's anyway, minus the :

And signature.

Also may want to double check it, as I'm not 100% on the translation, though it mostly checks out.

I just had a guy who studied Latin have a look because it was funny.  He is assuming this was plugged into Google Translate, which he says for latin isn't a good tool at all, and had a minor nerd rage over it.

Still a hilarious idea, but if you're going to do it, go full derp.

Im glad you said something. I was just about to start the fair copy of it. I guess I'll run it over to the college tomorrow and see if there's anyone who knows Latin there.

Pidgin Latin that causes nerdrage is best Latin.

While I can see a certain impact from using proper classical or ecclesiastical Latin in the letter, it just seems more lulzy to use pigdin Latin.

Just imagine, if you will, the Pontif, or his secretary, scratching his head going WTF at the bad Latin, and once figuring out what the message is being even more perplexed.

should we all send various letters to the same address, to really drive home the point of multiple Popes?

Id love to be a fly on the wall if he were to get various letters popeing him, excommunicating him, and so on all at the same time.

Schroedinger's Pope. :lulz:

For what it's worth, I finally have a few days off, so mine should be headed out by the end of next week.

Hey, Dubya, could I convince you to upload, or send me, your 'fair version'?
Layout is NOT a part of my skillset, and postage within the EU is not too bad!
Title: Re: Notifying the Pope that he's a Pope
Post by: Dubya on October 18, 2015, 01:14:43 PM
I plan to upload it as soon as it's done. As I said, I had some time off recently, and I got most of it done. Then I got drafted to help build a pole barn. Then I broke a couple of toes because I was too stupid to wear my boots. Now it's work time again. And that's not even mentioning the ruptured drain that spewed indescribable filth all over my room and ruined my sketches for the marginalia.

But I'm nothing if not stubborn, so it will go out eventually. Postage from here is going to be doable, but I appreciate the offer.

If you absolutely can't wait, you could always turn your deficient layout skills into an asset and send him a letter in crayon.
