...from the desk of Pope John The Tall...: July 2012

WELCOME TO THE BLOG OF POPE JOHN THE TALL, LEADER OF THE ALL JOHN ALL THE TIME WORLD CHURCH

******PLEASE NOTE******

(Notice I said please.)

To those of you who are new to "the Pope" and the "AJATTWC", the following various posts are the official communications of yours truly, Pope John The Tall, or as I'm known in many circles, PJTT.

I aspired to the position of Pope of the AJATTWC several years ago, after the Roman Catholics elected Joseph Ratzinger, a German Cardinal, as their Pope; I figured if he could do it, so could I.

Despite what would seem to be a "religious" theme, I try not to play favorites: I'm satirical/irreverent about everything, in an attempt to give my readers a few yucks; that is the goal. If I haven't made you laugh, well, I tried, and I hope I'm given an "A" for the effort. (Or at least a really solid "C".)

I further hope that my faithful readers (all several of them) and any of you who wander in from the cold of the Internet, will derive much solace and spiritual awakening from my timeless prose, and, as I so often refer to it, the "soothing balm of Johnism"; if you don't, how sad for you, because I'm a pretty funny guy. (My daughter tells me, regularly, that I'm "silly"; I suspect that she's right.)

Please note that everything on my blog is meant to be fun, and in no way insulting to anyone, unless of course you're a politician, then you can assume I intended to insult you. (Hey, it goes with the job, guys; if you can't take the heat, then the harder they fall.)

Never mind.

Anyway, welcome and thanks for stopping by; please feel free to peruse to your heart's content (there is a large archive of my past posts, going back several hundred years, in the right-hand column), and please be sure to make a large donation at the door as you leave. (It's tax-deductible.)

Speaking of leaving, as I make my exit, and probably none too soon, here's something from the Book of Excretions, Apollo 13: Dodgers 6...

"Blessed are the lazy, for although they don't accomplish much, they're well rested."

Enjoy. (Or don't, it's still a free country. It is still a free country, isn't it? They haven't changed that as far as I know, have they?)

...And From The Totally Unintentional Irony Department...

...there...now you know how Rick Moranis' kids felt...

And absolutely apropos of nothing, I was perusing the MSN.com website yesterday afternoon, partly following the news but mostly just lookin' around...

...when I stumbled over the following headline under the Heading: SHOPPING, to wit:

"Drive Him Wild In Flirty, Fringe Bandeau Swimwear".

And God is my witness, I didn't click on the link, because a) I'm a good, decent and moral-type Pope and b) I was laughing at the next headline that caught my eye, DIRECTLY next to the Flirty, Fringe Bandeau Swimwear thingie. (Isn't "bandeau" a type of antique car?)

Anyway, in the box directly to the right of the one with the SHOPPING header, was this tantalizer; under the Heading: WHAT DO YOU THINK? was posed this question:

"Should Women Join The Infantry?
0 Yes
0 No
0 Not sure."

I suppose it makes sense that if you're going to drive him wild, you might want to be able to kick his ass, just in case things get out of hand.

This is, truly, a great country.

Love and equality,

PJTT
