Jesus Saves!

[Evil Bastard (aka Chris_L)]

Chris -
My understanding is that the only "citizens" of Vatican City are the people who work int he Vatican, and that you lose your citizenship if and when you leave your job. But, hey, if you want to stock the Congregation For The Proagation of the Faith with point guards and team handball players, I'm with you.
No-show jobs for jocks -- It's not just for college any more.

The Vatican has actually looked into what would be involved in participating in the Olympics. Just like you just have to of Irish descent to be on the Irish Olympic team - you would only have to be Catholic to be on the Vatican squad. Think of Mike Piazza who as born in PA playing for Italy's baseball team this past spring.

If God's going to be on anyone's side, the other teams at that tournament are screwed.

I think you have to at least be eligible to hold a country's passport to compete for it in the Olympics.

If you have to work at the Vatican to be eligible to hold a Holy See passport then that really limits the athlete pool.

 

[Evil Bastard (aka Chris_L)]

I'm sure the Vatican could put the Jesuits in charge of making sure the rules are bent enough to field a decent team.

Each foreign athlete could be given a Vatican job and passport as roving Ambassadors of Goodwill. They could use the money they get from the Wonderbread account to pay for all expenses.

Heck, you'd think you could field a Vatican shooting or fencing team just from the Swiss Guards.

Is pike-fighting an Olympic sport?
(By the way, I had a Special Forces guy tell me once that the Swiss Guards are like the toughest bastards in the world, kill you a couple hundred different ways.)

If Jesus saves ... well, He'd better save Himself ...


(counting on Fenian to have the next line)

from the gory, glory seekers
who use his name in death.
(Flute break here).

TULL, baby!

Thanks for not disappointing me.

Hey if you had to wear the clown outfits they have to wear you'd be pretty ****ing tough too.

Jesus: You ready to be ****ed, man? I see you rolled your way into the semis. Dios mio, man. Liam and me, we're gonna **** you up.

The Dude: Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Jesus: Let me tell you something, pendejo. You pull any of your crazy **** with us, you flash a piece out on the lanes, I'll take it away from you, stick it up your ass and pull the ****ing trigger 'til it goes "click."

The Dude: Jesus.

Jesus: You said it, man. Nobody ****s with the Jesus.

From yet another movie ...

"Jesus saves, but George Nelson withdraws!"

Remember that's "Geooorge Nelson .. not Babyface!" as in "Oh George, not the livestock."

Oddly enough, that was exactly what the Special Forces guy told me, too.

I think those are Oregon's 2007 football uniforms.

All right, Harris. Let's not start a holy war here.

Better not leave that rum sittin' around with this group.

Is very bad to steal Jobu's rum. Is very bad.
