2 popes canonized

[wide eyed and legless]

Watching the news of the 2 popes being Canonized led me to a search on the Patron Saint of beer, yes we have one, St Adrian and we also have a St Amand Patron Saint of Brewers and Bar keepers.
Medieval monks were skilled brewers and the daily allowance was a useful 5 litres a day, and the saying 'I'm only here for the beer' originated in those monasteries.

2 popes being Canonized

There must be some innuendo in there somewhere...

 

[Lodan]

I read it as "2 poops" :unsure:

May the double A's watch over us

I thought you needed a couple of posthumous miracles under your cassock before getting your sainthood patch. Were some leppers healed or demons cast into a heard of swine that I missed in the news?
Even that haggered old fanatical panhandler and fraud mother Teresa could only manage the rank of 'blessed'.
Now they're bestowing them Willy - nilly.

It's a miracle anyone would want the job

I vote for St Pederastus.

It's a miracle anyone even gives a shit about this anymore.

Cool. Look! Bird.

Cheep.

 

[Lodan]

If only turning water into beer was considered a miracle... then we could all be poops!

You know, being cast into a herd of swine wouldn't necessarily be all that bad. Swine know how to have a good time... Every day is a dinner, followed by mud-wrestling, followed by more dinner.

Bit like life in general these days. As people our standards have dropped so much any minor thing is "heroic". Just look at the people who lead us. Hate to be a pensioner in the next few years. Politician on the other hand, seems like a pretty good gig, stuff up here and there, and affect thousands of people lives, and get a pay rise. Sweet as. Sign me up

Joan of Arc was canonised and never even got a mention in the film 'Noah'.

Mmmm, cult of celebrity you know. More powerful than the force, it is.

The ads for that bondi vet show which always started with "aussie hero" always made me want to punch the T.V. Or the vet...

 

[manticle]

What if he had a cape?

 

[mje1980]

If he had his own children's non profit charity then absolutely, instant hero status.

 

[Bridges]

Cape or underpants outside trousers equals hero. Vet though does not.

Enter Mr abbott. that would be Sir Willy Nilly :lol:

This is a job for CAPTAIN CATHETER.

In my younger days I built a contraption that "canonised" spuds. I never did receive any recognition for that.

words that come to mind are powder ramming pole wadding balls grape loading shot firing what sort of range do you get with a pope?
