Eggs Pope Benedict
(Michelle Arnold)
While wandering the Web sniffing out something to blog about, my nose latched onto an aroma of eggs. Curious, I checked it out. Apparently, in the wake of Pope Benedict XVI's election, some people were having a bit of good-natured fun with the new pope's chosen name.
Behold the breakfast of popes: Eggs Benedict XVI.
(Nod to Chew Toys for the image. And speaking of Chew Toys, I must say that I enjoyed this blogger's blog squib from Despair.com: "Quitters never win, winners never quit, but those who never win and never quit are idiots.")
Benedict XVI, when he was Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, once said that "humor is in fact an essential element in the mirth of creation. We can see how, in many matters in our lives, God wants to prod us into taking things a bit more lightly."
Given the Pope's great appreciation for humor, I think he'd also smile over the papal eggs. And then, after saying grace, I'm sure that he'd eat them.

My favorite Demotivational phrase from despair.com is:
"Individuality: Always remember that you are unique. Just like everybody else"

Since the Holy Father thinks humor is important:
During the Revolutionary War, George Washington was visiting Benedict Arnold. In the morning, Arnold asked: "What do you want for breakfast, George?" Washington replied: "I'll have eggs, Benedict."

Shrieks of agony are now echoing all through the blogosphere.

I would say that "cracked" me up, but that would be too hard-boiled of me.
(more shrieking echos)

Eggscuse my laughter, but this is just plain funny.

That's 'Egg'citing, isn't it? 'Shell' we eat now?

Just one problem about the picture:
Eggs Pope Benedict needs to be served in a hubcap . . .
Because there's no plates like chrome for the Hollandaise

At least Eggs are of the same color as the Vatican flag.
Scott W.,
Not 'pun'ny anymore is the comments box?At least the Lord said:
'You are the 'yolk' of the earth, You are the 'white' of the world'.
('Sore'y for the bad pun, it is rather 'pain'ful.)

Patrick,
At least our Lord also said "my yolk is easy."

Good one!
Here's another:

It's so cool to see that our Holy Father is human. I love to see the "regular Joe" side of people like the pope.

I have to say those eggs look mitre delicious to me.
Posted by: Anne | Sep 2, 2006 5:04:32 PM
Eggcellent... truly eggcellent...

Eggcellent... truly eggcellent...
My sentiments eggactly.
You know, I was going to use this space to eggsplore the flaws of eggalitarian societies, but that would be so eggscruciatingly off-topic that I have eggscluded it from my post (which was most eggcelent of me, if I do say so my self).
All this talk of eggs sure has eggsausted me! I haven't been this eggsuberated since my eggspedition into the Canadian wilderness last spring, when I eggsplored the wilds of the Yolkon Territory.
Also, remember, everyone, to keep all your posts free of eggspletives!

Finally, We now have a food for 'Pius' people. I'm really sure that the Pope will grant 'Benedict'ion to it. This good, 'Clement','Innocent' dish is really fit for the Vicar of Christ.
Noticed this combox is full of puns now. .

Existentialism happens if you let that breakfast sit out too long
