I guess that explains the lack of a “Fall 1907 RESULTS” treasure in my inbox this morning.
Nah, it’s due to the arrival of a new ice age. Glaciers have rolled across Europe, and our armies and navies are in suspended animation until the glaciers recede and we can thaw out the troops, Encino Man-style. Don’t fall for that ‘deadline confusion’ con - it’s the oldest scam in the world. 
Well, what’s the email address of the glacier player then? I got some Diplomacy to do!
Dunno, but I guess it’s time to thaw ourselves out and send in move orders. 
No prob.
Oh yeah - now that I’ve conquered Rome, I hereby declare myself Pope Rufus I! 
“The last Pope nearly ruined this place,
he didn’t know what to do with it,
if you think the Church is bad off now,
just wait 'til I get through with it!”
Hey! Hands off the Church I said! I just got a very nice note from them saying they’d contact me sometime in the next two weeks!
Did your note say “You may have already won redemption?”
That’s your second post relating in some way to a “new church.” Are you changing teams, or something? If so, did it cost a lot to buy out your remaining contract with the old church? Are you going to be in a different league?
Hmmm…my Bible quotes Jesus as saying “salvation is from the Jews.” So beware of these salvation-by-mail scams, y’know?
I bet that would upset Lady Chance! [sub]Is she any relation to Lady Luck?[/sub]
And relax, Jonathan, I’ll pass the word down through the hierarchy about your application. Don’t you think it’ll be helpful to work for a Pope who’s almost as cynical about the Church as you are?
Hey, they’re just one more marketing organization, that’s all. A good long-term investment.
Abe, FTR, I’m up for the job of Marketing and PR Director for the recently put-upon Conference of Catholic Bishops. Interesting gig for a jew-boy, eh?
I hear the Conference of Catholic Bishops’ motto is: “Jesus didn’t need a PR campaign, but we sure do!”
I imagine you would certainly be kept busy there.
Kinda like being Robert Downey, Jr.'s parole agent.
JC,
Here’s an idea for your first campaign to rehabilitate the Church’s immage. Have a bunch of hip priests dancing to MC Hammer’s “Can’t touch this”, and everytime that line comes up cut to a picture of an altar boy with a “Ghostbusters” style circle and slash over him.
Pure marketing genius.
I hope you have a good lightning rod installed, Dave. [sub]Insert frat house penis joke here[/sub]
You’re definetely gonna get a good smiting for that one.

And JC, if you get the job, be sure to get a good recommendation. A poor report could come back to haunt you even beyond your working life.
Here’s one for all you laughing Larry’s out there.
I’m thinking that this sucker is getting a bit unwieldy and probably keeping some potential newbies from looking at it.
Therefore, after consultation with one of my favorite mods, I’ve decided to start a new one and ask that this one be locked up.
So let’s hear some chatter.
And there’s an announcement in the new thread.
Yup. This thread is gettin’ kinda longish.
