(and i won a bet :D )

poobs - 4-1-2005 at 10:48 AM

Seriously! Already?? I just checked cnn.com about 10 minutes ago! And you're right, Corkey..This is the right place for it..Damn..It's so strange that he's gone..I don't know why.. :no:

poobs - 4-1-2005 at 10:50 AM

Hmm..None of the internet news sites have it yet..I guess I'll have to get off my ass and check it out downstairs..Oohh..If this gets in the way of my soap I am going to shoot someone!! :mad:

:ticking:

corkey16 - 4-1-2005 at 10:51 AM

It's like alot of big known people are dying this month..Jonnie Cochran, Mitch Herberg, Terri lady, and now the Pope.

Wow, that is crazy. It's weird to think that they're going to have a new Pope. Why is everyone dying?!?

Jette - 4-1-2005 at 10:53 AM

he is not dead :rolleyes:

poobs - 4-1-2005 at 10:56 AM

Seriously..What's going on? Is he or not? If he's not, it'll only be a matter of hours I'm sure.. :rolleyes:

They say that death comes in threes..Since Terri wasn't an entertainer or in the public eye (at least voluntarily), the Pope will be the third, right?

JunoRedneck - 4-1-2005 at 10:56 AM

Yahoo news just said "Pope reportedly dead"... so I think some news things are just slow.

poobs - 4-1-2005 at 10:58 AM

"News agency recants on report of Pope's death"

That's kinda fucked up.. :lol:

"Oops..Sorry all you Catholics..I was just messing with you.."

corkey16 - 4-1-2005 at 11:00 AM

I'm watch cnn now and they are saying they closed the door of his room which means that a pope has died, but they aren't sure either...come on is he or isn't he?!?!?

Jette - 4-1-2005 at 11:00 AM

apparently on italian television someone said hes braindead, but its not comfirmed. dutch tv is now saying that his dearest have gathered round his deathbed and that he is 'in the prestage of death'

(ofcourse thats not a litteral quote cause itd be in dutch and you wouldnt get it )

yeah i read that too but i guess they do that when hes dying, since the door needs to be shut when hes dead and i guess you can better shut it a bit early then do it too late, right?

poobs - 4-1-2005 at 11:02 AM

I wish I had a tv in my room!!! Wait a second..No I don't..I'd never leave it..

Why is that? Is it some spiritual thing? Or just a privacy thing?

JunoRedneck - 4-1-2005 at 11:05 AM

I saw the Pope :duh: I was kinda far away, but they had those big jumbo tron things... Pope-o trons.

corkey16 - 4-1-2005 at 11:06 AM

In Pope history, when a pope dies they shut what's called the Bronze Door to indicate that a pope died.

JunoRedneck - 4-1-2005 at 11:08 AM

So, what's the smoke thing again? Is that if they've chosen a new pope?

Jette - 4-1-2005 at 11:10 AM

i thought it was the door of the st peter church, but i dont know for sure

I think your right Jette, it's called the Bronze Doors. And they will ring a bell too.

Jette - 4-1-2005 at 11:13 AM

i wish i was in rome right now

well, id wish i was in rome any given moment, but right now a bit more than usual

corkey16 - 4-1-2005 at 11:13 AM

i got to change the title now.

Jette - 4-1-2005 at 11:15 AM

hahaha. i guess itll be true in a matter of hours though

Seb - 4-1-2005 at 11:28 AM

Every 10 mins the news changes its mind. They say hes dead, then not dead and now hes apparently dead again. My mom was conformed by him before he became pope.

corkey16 - 4-1-2005 at 11:45 AM

This is a very good April fools joke of the day!:P

EvilMotivator - 4-1-2005 at 01:19 PM

This thread is quite intense if you read it late and after you just woke up.

corkey16 - 4-1-2005 at 06:04 PM

My husband just told me that when the pope is suppose to died he is suppose to see the future of what will happen to us. Like the end of the world.:o

poobs - 4-1-2005 at 06:12 PM

I hope he sees me being really rich in a few years..

corkey16 - 4-1-2005 at 06:14 PM

my sisters always brings up how when princess Diana died we missed the last episodes of the last tgif, last hangin' with mr cooper ! I guess we'll never know what happened.

TurtleEnterprises - 4-1-2005 at 08:01 PM

When I hear about the vatican, it takes me back to Eurotrip and cracks me up. Eurotrip is one of my fav movies.

poobs - 4-1-2005 at 08:12 PM

I keep reading this thread as "Poop is dead??"

Wait a minute..Let me get this straight..You..missed..The last TGIF?? NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

corkey16 - 4-1-2005 at 08:20 PM

i missed SNL when diana died

corkey16 - 4-2-2005 at 06:27 PM

ok. the pope is dead. he died today at 9:37. RIP.......

poobs - 4-2-2005 at 07:07 PM

Are we sure about that??

EvilMotivator - 4-2-2005 at 07:11 PM

No.

batcave_baby - 4-3-2005 at 12:44 AM

They've been stringing him up like a puppet for public appearances for months anyway. Death is just a part of the natural cycle, and the dude was OLD anyway, so I don't see why people are so upset. Not that I don't value life or anything, but really! All the vigils and mourning going on for the guy...I't not like he was David Bowie!

EN - 4-3-2005 at 09:45 AM

The Vatican scene in Eurotrip deffiantley owns.

and now for something completely different.

come on your guys. It's the Pope!!!! don't be selfish.:saint:

EvilMotivator - 4-3-2005 at 07:16 PM

Selfish? How are they being selfish?

JunoRedneck - 4-3-2005 at 07:54 PM

If you don't know, then we can't explain it to you :rolleyes:

Jeez, Evil. Get with it.

poobs - 4-3-2005 at 08:38 PM

I think insensitive is the word you were going for..:duh:

JunoRedneck - 4-3-2005 at 09:18 PM

Hey Evil, nice signature. It's about time you recognized my brilliantness.

EvilMotivator - 4-3-2005 at 09:32 PM

I think everyone know you're genii by now.

7cut - 4-4-2005 at 03:48 AM
