RSVP

From CHRISTIAN TODAY:

The head of the Roman Catholic Church in England and Wales has suggested that the faithful celebrate the one year anniversary of Pope Benedict XVI’s visit to Britain by throwing a Pope party.

COMMENT: There really is no need for this. In England we already throw a "pope party" EVERY YEAR on the fifth of November.

Bad taste aside, YOUR SUGGESTIONS PLEASE for activities to make your pope party go with a swing. Personally, I think a game of charades would be appropriate.

  1. Not sure what games might be played but how about calling the day "Torquemada Thursday" ?

  2. I had to look that one up, clever clogs, but, yes, an excellent idea.

  3. How about 'Man Lace Dress Up' for one of the games.

  4. An excellent idea, Kevin. Perhaps it could be amalgamated in some way with a game of "kiss chase."

  5. Doesn't Mimi make a pope salad that would be perfect for the occasion?

  8. "Keep Away" - please!

    "Statue Maker" - my childhood term for Freeze Tag, but given Bennie's predilection for beatifying people before they're even cold in the grave, I think it would be an appropriate activity.

  9. How 'bout we celebrate ala Spartacus (no...not THAT "Snails&Oysters" way! O_o) and ALL become Pope?

    "I'm Bishop of Rome!" "I'm Bishop of Rome!" "I'm Bishop of Rome!"

  10. A comment from Joseph:

    At least Catholics realize there's this thing in the world called "color."

    LOL!
