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.

I'm cruel. Given that today's Latin lesson has progressed to habeam = I'd have:

papam cum spa habeam: I'd have a pope with spam [Latin first declension--spam, spae, spam, spae, spa [with a long a] and so one...], unless you are of the school that believes it should be spam, spamae, spamam, spamae, spama [with a final long a]. This would give you papam cum spama habeam.

Now you have me imagining a pope in Kerry Green vestments, just to bring us around to Green Pope And Spam.

I've been declared i'm going there since I described Holy Communion as 'the part in the Mass with the chips and the booze'.

That comment's a drop in the ocean, m'dear.

I considered actually doing a Hulk-speech version of the Lord's Prayer, but decided that would cross from 'amusing' into 'offensive'.
