The Pope looks like a giant daffodil
Doesn’t he? He’s all yellow and billowy and translucent, there on his green hilltop. Lose the Boris Karloff face and the dead guy on a stick, and you’ve got yourself one fine daffodil. A really, really big daffodil, but that could be interesting in a genetically-modified, deeply horrifying kind of way. Like the vegetables in Woody Allen’s Sleeper.
I would love to know who took this picture, but the cyber gods do not wish me to have this information. I was cruising through the news to see what fresh hell we’re in now, and this lovely photograph captivated me. I stole it and uploaded it here, and then realized that I’d accidentally closed the news window before ascertaining the photographer’s name. In fact, I don’t even remember what newspaper it was. And now both the article and the image are nowhere to be found on the Google News feed. It’s as if they never existed at all.
I suspect a conspiracy.

By the way, I perhaps should explain that it’s a quirk of mine that I’m endlessly entertained by the getups that Religious Leaders wear to indicate their Religious Leadership. The hats are especially boffo.
And that really is a beautiful shade of buttery yellow. Like Oscar Wilde, I think yellow satin is a reason to live.

OK maybe pumpkins aren’t that yellow (I don’t know so many pumpkins) but they’re a whole load easier on the jews, muslims, women, puffs etc.

A Muslim, a Christian, and a Jew walk into a bar, they slide up and there behind the bar is a Buddhist bartender.
“What’s your poison”, says the Buddhist Bartender.
The Jew responds, “Gimme a glass of MogenDavid”
The Christian says, “Make mine a …

I make fun of Christianity rather than Islam for the same reason that I make fun of Republicans rather than Vlaams Belang.

Where’s the fun? - they are both names the ignorant and angry use to share their failings.
And both ways forward if the god/allahbags would but listen to truth. -
