Loading ...Yes, I did get another stigmata today. This one was caused by Cleto’s sharp little claws, but I think cat-induced stigmata may be even more powerful than the kitchen-accident kind.
Its also my mother’s birthday. I spoke to her on the phone today, pretended everything’s just fine here. She’s quite happy to indulge in her own crises but she’s never been able to handle other people’s problems. I remember breaking down in tears after losing everything in Katrina. Her words: a dismissive “Oh, you’re just tired.”
Yeah thats it, tired.
Anyway after the birthday drama I felt the need for the eucharist. Chocolate, that is. And JtO the other day reminded me how tasty and delicious the 100K bar is, so I ate one of those. Ah… I feel better already.
And speaking of birthdays, Bas is having one soon. He’s never told me precisely what day it is, but I know its early October, so I suppose we will have to celebrate his birthday for the entire month of October. This is how I go about celebrating mine - the entire month of June is my birthday, I dare ya to say otherwise. I’m the Pope dammit.
Oh and my favourite pope of all time - Alexander VI.
Buy me a beer!

Alexander VI is indeed a good pope. I think that all popes should model themsevles after him. Any pope who could father Lucrezia Borgia (or Borja) has to be a good ‘un.
And I am sorry about your mother (the Pope Mother? Madre de Papa?) Oh, but you are a saint now! That makes her the Mother of a Saint. But she’s probably just tired! Or just tiring.
Pope Mojo also reminded me of Chocolate Paydays and I had one in Mississippi. It reiterates what I knew in the past. They suck. They should be excommunicated.
I too had a chocolate payday recently and thought… no, this should be excommunicated. I like the non-chocolate paydays though. kind of remind me of a stuckeys pecan log, but with peanuts.
Lucrezia really didn’t do a whole hell of a lot, except get manipulated and married off several times by her family. Cesare’s the best Borgia. He makes me hot. Though Pope AVI is the one with the most finesse.
I agree. The non-chocolate Paydays are superior in every way.
And Lucrezia did not do much. Catherine de Medici (who people often confuse with Lucrezia) was much more interesting, and deadly.
Catherine - was she the one who, when her children were captured and their lives threatened, raised her skirts to Cesare’s armies, showed her pussy, and said, “There’s more where those came from!” ? I can’t remember which deadly renaissance woman that was, but… good line.
Just tired.. Mmm.. Yeah.
Colorful aphorism.
On popes I vote JPII; Karol Woytila. He had a beautiful voice & a nice smile. Dunno about his church politics that much though. I got a nice picture of him on the toilet.
And it’s Oct. 2nd. And it’s 40. Is that half-undead? I don’t think i’d survive an entire month, Your Saintness!
Cough, squeak, bald, rust, dribble, leak, zzzz…
If Catherine didn’t say that, she should have!
And Bas, JPII was rumoured to be like many of the Popes of old. Some say he had an illegitimate child! Others say he spearheaded an effort to kill JPI.
Catherine did kill 10,000 Hugenots. Not directly, but for any one person to kill 10,000 would take quite some time. So I guess the Pope should like Catherine. Kill all the protestants, make more catholics!
I have to say, I never thought that this blog would turn into “Who’s Your Favorite Pope?” I guess it is a little classier than “What’s in My Vagina?” Nah. “What’s in My Vagina” is classier.
Well, I didn’t like JP2 very much (mainly because he spearheaded the plot to kill JP1, who was a wonderful, down-to-earth and caring pope with lots of plan to liberalise the church and turn it into a more compassionate institution. Which of course got’im killed), but now that Hitler-youth Benedict is in charge, JP2 is looking pretty fucking good. And he did have a nice smile… a nice smile that hid all his sins and sinister deeds.
I stick with Alexander6. History has reviled the Borgias (mainly because the poets of the time were like our very own National Enquirer, and many of the rumours spread about them were just tabloid fodder) but they did an amazing job of restoring Rome to its former glory. Before the Borgia popes (there were 2 borgia popes, by the way), Rome was a cesspit that had been reduced to a population of under 3% of the size it had been during the height of the Roman empire. It was a squalid little shithole full of squabbling baronies, high crime, poverty and destitution. So say what you like about the Borgias, they might have been a little crazy, but they did some good stuff for Rome.
And if I’d lived in the Renaissance, I’d have happily had Alexander 6 in my vagina. (There… that combined the pope question with the vagina question - how clever of me)
And -you being a Saint- i guess Alex VI would have considered it a holy duty! What’s not to say a duty can’t be pleasurable?
Reminds me of the Bagwan. Sixty Rolls Royses hold a lot of backseats…
That wouldn’t be the only Vagina old Alex VI was in!
Now that thing about the ‘perks’ of popehood begins to dawn on me..
