Anatomy of a thought:

Oo, the cable went out at the office. So sad.

LJ says we have white smoke.

Habemus papam.

Habemus = we have. Papam should be obvious.

'We have', 'we've got', not so different.

'We've got', 'we got'…

Oh no.

Please don't tell me somebody in the Vatican just got a piece of paper from where the cardinals have been locked up, read the paper, slammed his hand down on a bell, and screamed "WE GOT ONE!" in Latin.

rassum frassum stinkin' friggin' brain.

Sputter. Sputter.

Of cours, now I'm picturing Pope Peter of Venkman, or maybe Pope Raymondus I would be more likely.

I'm so sorry. I'm so bloody sorry. The alternative involved the guy who got the paper teetering out through the big bronze doors... and breaking into a wild dance routine because he was Cardinal Six, aka the weird but adorable little old guy from the Six Flags commercials. The buzzer idea just won with its tremendous wrongness.

I really have got to get back to writing Iron Dog material, so as to piss off a few other pantheons enough to balance out my potential across the various hells.
