Heretic.

The gourd is the True Token of the Messiah, and I should know, I’ve followed a few!

Very stylish.  
I was in London a few years ago we were on hand for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s golden jubilee. I looked around but did not see a commemorative thong. A quick search online produces southeast Asian’s attending celebrations without their undergarments featured as part of the festivities. A similar search for thong listed by you turned up similar non undergarment results. I guess the mug will have to do.

Besides, _all_ potatoes look like Khrushchev.

Can someone explain to me WHY [GoldenPalace.com](http://GoldenPalace.com) is always buying up these bizarre items? Why does an online casino need religious-icon foods? What do they do with them? Can you win the Pope hat chip playing Texas hold-em? What’s the deal?
