Sliding? SLIDING!?!? That hungry vegetable girl didn't take this long.

JUST DIE ALREADY! DIE DIE DIE!

OK, that was evil. I just appreciate a dramatic exit.

Consdering what day it is, I predict he's gonna pop up in the window at midnight with a big grin, do a cartwheel down to the square and high five the nuns. "Gotcha!"

Yes, that WAS evil.

But while watching the coverage of his Easter mass, I couldn't help but be reminded of A Weekend At Bernie's. I just kept imagining these Cardinals hiding behind the drapes moving his arms and mouth and insisting that everything was A-Okay.

So, I guess I'm evil, too.


It just better not screw up my weekend TV plans; that's all I gotta say.
