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.

(edited after the fact to correct my Latin)

Quick note- the word I used is the word for bishops, or was when last I checked. I just wanted something that sounded more French than 'fetchez les cardinales!' to correspond to 'fetchez la vache!'.

OK.

I just like the rhythm of 'Cardinal-Flinger'.

[camwyn]

Agreed. It works much better than Bishop-Flinger. 'm just doing the disclosure gig.

Bishop-flinger sounds like it should be a euphemism for something masturbation-related, really.

[camwyn]

That, or it's part of a Dutch or Germanic law firm's name. You know. Umpschneider, Bischopflinger, und Drucks, Attorneys at Law.

That works too.

"Do you fling your bishop at me, sir?"
"I do fling my bishop, sir, but I do not fling it at thee."
