Once again YOUR Host of Hosts and Paragon of Virtue has returned to enlighten all whom may come in contact with these spoken words. So with that being said:
From the "This Is It" files:
On March 8th, history will be made as TNA takes it's rightful place on Monday's to serve notice that TNA & YOUR "Pope Has Arrived!" If you are a TRUE FAN of wrestling, you should really REALLY be excited about the next chapter in the Monday Night Wars!
From the "Fallen Idol" files:
Pope hasn't been able to watch much or American Idol, and to be honest really haven't tried to; but when Pope did catch Idol, it was/is Gawd Awful. Ok, that might be a bit harsh, but in comparisons to the past seasons, there's no one that stands out as the complete package. Pope will say that the winner of this season American Idol will be a dude...again.
From the "SNL" files:
If Betty White don't host that show, we will RIOT!
From the "You Knew It Would Happen" files:
"Pants on the Ground" has officially become a hit and the fellow even has a deal where his song is now a ring tone that can be ordered on itunes. Wow, you gotta give it up for the American Dream still being a reality.
From the "Reality" files:
Brooke....Brooke....Ooooohhhhhh, Brooke. Pope may have to lay his hands on you. Seriously!
*The Opossum Story*
As many of you who follow Pope on Twitter knows, Pope ran over a possum last week after the NY house shows. Well Pope's gonna back up and give you a full overview of that night in hopes of "Enlightening" some of you for future purposes.
So, it's about 1 a.m. and Pope's on a drive that has at least 1 hour remaining. It literally looks like I'm driving in the midst of a blizzard, as the snow fall is drop like white rain. Pope finally clears the snow fall and is now in an area that is covered with nothing but snow and ice, but the sky is clear. It looks like something out of a Stephen King movie. So as Pope's driving, I come up on my next turn. Pope, driving at approximately 30 mph, slightly hit the brakes to make a right turn, when all of a sudden, the brakes lock, and the car begins to slide at a 30 degree angle, while heading towards the stop sign. Pope attempts to turn the car, but there’s no friction on the ice covered streets. The car continues to slide in what appears to be “slow motion” as Pope’s heading for this head on collision. Pope immediately braces for iMPACT and began sending his request in to the BBP in the sky.
Transcript: “Oh Lawd. Please don’t let this car run into this stop sign. Pope does NOT feel like paying for these peoples car. I can not believe this is about to happen!? Ok, please Lawd let this be a lil dent or scratch (cause at this point, Pope knows it's a dead on hit, regardless off how big or small the impact).”
Now, as the car at about 5-10mph heads towards that stop sign, the car hits the curve, and then in a sudden moment, the car hops maybe an inch to the right and come to a stop. Oh wait, what about the stop sign you ask? The stop sign is to the front of the driver sides bumper, about a quarter of an inch away from the car. What!? Are you kidding me? Pope sits and immediately sends some props up to the BBP in the sky, giving him thanks for that lil nudge given to offset the course of Pope’s vehicle.
Pope gathers himself together now and gets back on the road. About 20 more miles or so, Pope notices that (much like a Stephen King movie) there’s no more snow to be found and that the place is looking creepy and much like a ghost town. Pope’s fuel meter is under the ¼ mark, he will need gas shortly, but all he sees right now is one open gas station in the middle of nowhere, with the only working lights in the area. Hum, uhm, Pope’s gonna take his chances and continue to drive the next 15miles or so until he gets to I-89, cause this don’t look like no place for no Pope, if you get my drift! Lol, so Pope continues along this lonesome 2 way street, where there’s nothing but mass, grassy, shady land on both sides, and the houses you do see are old, and looks as if no living life forms have been there in recent years. So now, Popes putting the petal to the metal, cause if Pope runs out of gas ‘back here’ then he gone be in some trouble. Then out of no where, this stupid possum runs out in front of Pope’s pathway, with little to no time for Pope to react, and BAM. I could feel the durn creature roll underneath the car. Pope started to continue, as it’s only a dumb creature right? Naugh, even it deserves to be treated with respect in it’s final moment of life. So Pope turns around to go read the possum it’s last rites.
(This is when Pope Tweeted) So as Pope turns the car around to go check on the ol crazy creature, boy was he in for a surprise. As I returned to the point of iMPACT, I noticed the ol clever possum rolled over, winked its eye at Pope, with that snarly grin on its face, and scurried along across the road as previously planned. Hum, ok well at least the poor lil critter wasn’t splattered over the road. So Pope made another u-turn and began to continue en route to I-89 when all of a sudden, BLUE LIGHTS!!! There’s a cop sitting in an abandoned gas station and he just pulled over Pope. He comes up to the vehicle on the passenger side, Pope rolls down the window; Officer’s first question?…..“Whatchu listening to? “ Pope response, “Kirk Franklin. No, I mean, Marvin Sapp (it was satellite radio).” The officer says he didn’t think that it was Kirk, but music aside, he informed Pope that he was clocked going 60 in a 35 mph zone. ARE YOU KIDDING ME OFFICER? Ok, well if I was, then I was as Pope hadn’t even seen speed sign in recent memory and really don’t know what speed I was going, but do know that it wasn’t FAST as Pope was just leaving the opossum scene, trying to get to the nearest gas station before I’m stuck out here. Pope told the officer that he’s guilty as charged tho if he was speeding. The officer asked if Pope’s license was clean, to which Pope replied, “Of course!” The officer then said,” Ok, what you gonna do is keep going straight, and once you get to the interstate, don’t get on it as the gas station is on the other side. Be careful.” Pope once again thanked the BBP in the sky and went on his way.
What have The Congregation learned today? Well, it’s simple: When you’re covered, ya covered. We all every now and then needs a ram in the bush to be a sacrifice. Pope’s ram just happened to be that possum. Why? Because, had Pope NOT ran over that possum, and had Pope NOT turned around, Pope would have been pulled over going at least 80-85mph and would NOT have gotten off from a huge ticket. Pope’s appreciative of his ram (possum), and as always is grateful to be BBP in the sky!
To the FAM, keep your eyes a fixated, and keep your ears attuned to the words of YOUR Pope, cause you never know when, who, or what will be your “Ram in The Bush!”~ PHS
