Loading ...We’ve been talking about saints and popes a lot lately at Shattered Prayer. I I like to keep my eye out for a good saint or pope post on the net. Charlie over at Where the Hell was I has a good post on new ideas for patron saints, because, lets face it, in a modern world, we could use a few extras.
Among his ideas for new patron saints are Phone Sex Operators, Things Stuck in Your Teeth, Channel Surfing, Sneaking in Unseen, and Drive-Thru Accuracy. Having been a phone sex operator for a short period of time, I’ll say Amen to that one, and Charlie’s right - who wouldn’t use the patron saint of Sneaking in Unseen? And often!
Having recently ascended from mere popehood, to sainthood, via the miracle of cooking-accident stigmata, I hereby volunteer to be the patron saint of … something. How about the patron saint of Avoiding Undercover Cops? Or the patron saint of Loose Change Found in your Sofa Just When You’re a Buck Short on a Pizza Delivery? Or lets really tempt fate here. Maybe the patron saint of Running Safely with Scissors?
You decide, dear readers. My charitable nature demands I offer my services in this way. I also really really like the idea of people praying to me.
Buy me a beer!

Why isn’t there a patron saint of patrons? Maybe you could lock that one up?
Or the patron saint of saints? Saints sometimes need saints helping them.
Yeah, patron saint of saints… then I could have saints… praying to me!
The I choose to be the patron saint of Gods! Of course, I have to perform 3 miracles ahead of that.
mm… I think you’ve taken it too far. Mainly because I didn’t think of it first.
I’d work my way up from something humble… For one thing… I need a good miracle worker keeping all these undefined spoils of live out of my k..k..kkeyboard!!
From there you might want to opt for an opening in Universal Universe domination? I’m shure it’s free pizzas for eternity at that level..
Phone sex alter ego…
Just counting Che.. Just counting…
Yes my phone sex alter ego was a chinese-american art student.
Then there are those other non phone sex alter egos. Pirate, space-vampire, pope, patron saint of lost change in the sofa, slave to cats, werewolf, cyborg.
I’m a Gemini, baby, so just keep counting.
So, do the saints now have to create medals/amulets with your likeness on them which they must keep on their person (or apparition, as is usually the case with saints)?
Ectoplasmic patron saint of saints medals. I like it. Where can I get one? I know I’m only a pope, but when I have my own cooking accident, I want to be ready.
Well I’m all for self-beatification, R the P seems torn between self-beatification and the whole 3 miracles thing. Though I think Bas’ conversion to firefox counts as enough miracles for all of us.
Yes, I do like the idea of a little medal with my face on is. Fine idea, mojo.
Today you are the patron saint of getting more people responding to your blog! The patron saint of Firefox!
