Anyone else think it’s mighty suspicious the way Eve and the Pope both suddenly dropped out of sight at the same time? I’m thinking those two crazy kids ran off and got hitched in Vegas. It’s always the couples you least expect. ---

I’m thinking those two crazy kids ran off and got hitched in Vegas. It’s always the couples you least expect. Well, we always knew that our beloved \*\*Eve \*\*deserved to marry into royalty. Now that Charles is taken, ‘Prince of the Catholic Church’ was the next best thing. 😃 ---

I don’t mean to ruin things by making a serious (that is, not intentionally humorous) post, but: \*\*Rhiannon8404 \*\* is on vacation in Italy at the moment. She had been on a tour of the Vatican Museum yesterday (that’s yesterday our time, which was earlier today Rome time). She had just finished the tour and walked out into St. Peters Square, when people started yelling and pointing up in the air. Sure enough, there was the Pope at his window! He was only there for 30 seconds or so, and apparently everyone was so stunned to see him that nobody thought to reach for their camera until it was too late. When I talk to her tomorrow I’ll aks her if she spotted \*\*Eve \*\* in the shadows. ---

Iiiiiiii just want a cowboy to ride me home I just want a cowboy who’s rich and lives in Rome I just want a cowboy with gold-plated soap I just want a cowboy called John Paul the Pope I met him one day at the Crackhouse Saloon (It could happen!) He lassoed me from clear across the room He said, “Hey, little girlie, do ya wanna kiss my ring?” I said “If I wanna see your bathtub, I’ll learn how to sing!” - Judy Tenuta ---

> [@Wile E](#): > > _adds her voice to the “Welcome Back, Eve!” Chorus_ I’ll join too, but not if we’re going to do a sendup of “Hello, Dolly.” I’m demanding something “Welcome Back, Kotter”-quality or better. ---

I’m thinking those two crazy kids ran off and got hitched in Vegas. It’s always the couples you least expect. Think outside the box, babe! Eve _is_ the Pope. Just think about all the clues that have been dropped. Never married, vexed by the cares of the world, author, misunderstood by some, adored by others. ---

Of course the Pope was watching you shower. The Pope knows a lot about voyeurism. Hell, he even taught me a thing or two about it. Wait… no. He could have just been an old man in a funny hat. ---

> [@](#): > > Think outside the box, babe! Eve is the Pope. Just think about all the clues that have been dropped. Never married, vexed by the cares of the world, author, misunderstood by some, adored by others. Can’t be. Eve has much better fashion sense than the Pope. You’d never catch her wearing white after Labor Day. ---

> [@Little Nemo](#): > > Can’t be. Eve has much better fashion sense than the Pope. You’d never catch her wearing white after Labor Day. You’re probably right, you know. And Karol Wojtyla has had to face such tremendous prejudice, being a Pole and all. And I’ve never seen the Pope in trousers these last 27 years, which is more than you could say for **Eve**. ---

I dunt knwow any of those, kaptin but I was just about to sing [Eire’s veeeery own take on the spam song.](http://www.mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=23418) Beer, beer, beer, tiddly beer, beer, beer A long time ago, way back in history When all there was to drink was nothing but cups o’tea Along came a man by the name of Charlie Mopps And he invented a wonderful drink and he made it out of hops. (Chorus) He might have been an admiral, a sultan, or a king And to his praises we shall always sing Ah, look what he has done for us, he’s filled us up with cheer Our Lord bless Charlie Mopps, the man who invented beer, beer, beer, tiddly beer, beer beer. etc. continues as barely remebered The Clancy Brothers, and maybe Tommy Makem, I can’t remeber if he was in the group yet. ---
