maryportfuncity 10,651 Posted April 13, 2006 How quickly we forget eh? A year ago it was all Pontiff action around these parts, now he's over 10,000 views short of a mediocre excuse for a sitcom actor and languishing way down the listings. Or he was.

Bennett_Cerf 2 Posted May 20, 2006 I would not have thought this 3 years ago or even a year past, but Pope John-Paul2 was one of the best there ever was. Compared to the withered old woman currently doing the job it would be hard to find any fault with John-Paul2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Mad Hatter 1,092 Posted August 5, 2015 Sister Lucia, Jerry Falwell, The Pope - Holy crap who's next, God Himself? this was posted in 2005 and Falwell died suddenly in 2007, how? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Creep 7,070 Posted August 6, 2015 Sister Lucia, Jerry Falwell, The Pope - Holy crap who's next, God Himself? this was posted in 2005 and Falwell died suddenly in 2007, how?Don't recall. But I'm posting to say that's a shitty 'coincidental deaths' seeing as Falwell DID get into my Coincidental Deaths db..!Falwell, Tammy Faye Bakker, Rex Humbard and one other televangelism stalwart (Oral Roberts maybe? I'm doing this off the top of my head) all died in about 90 days. THOSE are the real coincidences, not Sister Lucia whoever the living hell she is. As for the Pope, I don't recall his death being coincidental with anything, as I lumped televangelists together and didn't have to stretch to make something out of nothing.

Compared to the withered old woman currently doing the job it would be hard to find any fault with John-Paul2. He was a pedophile and the Polish people were glad to get rid of the pervert.
