Lola at the Coffee House

@mismi,

You're welcome any way. Never mind spendi and his bawdy talk. He entertains himself this way and we're tolerant of a wide diversity of behavior here in our bohemian/progressive cafe.

Can I offer you a cup of coffee and something for breakfast. Or is it lunchtime already?

@Joe Nation,

Hint Schmint, don't weasel out and show your work man. I wanna see how you managed to work it out in four weigh ins, all reasonable assumptions including.

By the way, Rome was obviously founded by aliens from a galaxy far, far away. You can see it in the language:

Omnia Gallia in tres partes divisa est

"All Gaul in three parts divided is." Now tell me that's not Yoda speaking.

A girl sandwich, sort of. But the salad bar is the most girlie, I think. I'm having that today. I have to watch my girlish figure. But wait, I'll pile on Ranch dressing over all those veges. And two gingerbread mini-muffins and a small sample size ice cream cone for desert.

We should hear soon. (Why do I care? well, curiousity, but also I'm hoping for someone I would think would make some improvements per my point of view).

Yes, we can always hope. But I doubt change can take place that rapidly in the Catholic Church. It's a little mired down.......little being an understatement.

Sequestration. My bowels are sixty-five years old. The world, without a Pope, teetering on the edge of the abyss. What comes next?

Finding out that I'm the one who actually got elected as Pope.

You wouldn't be eligible if you started dying your hair. You better quickly embrace the au naturel fashion and lifestyle.

Not you dear. Sorry or congratulations.
Francisco or Frances the First will be his name. Cardinal Bergoglio from Argentina. (Hands on cheeks and eyes wide open.) Oh my oh my.
He's very down to earth, they say.

Well, I'll be, he looks like a kindly type guy. All dresssed in white. The scene is impressive, I must admit. I wonder what he can do about my bed bug bites.

@Lola,

"Then there are those who find fame for other reasons: Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, the Jesuit intellectual and archbishop of Buenos Aires who travels around town by bus and told his compatriots not to waste their money on plane tickets to Rome to see him become a cardinal but to give it instead to the poor; "

From an article the other day in the Guardian about the papal conclave -

@Lola,

in ARgentina wed meet in Buenos Aires often and this guy was all over the place. Hed be in the markets, hed ride the bus, he lived very simnply. He really embodies the character that a Jesuit missionary would be. Hes gonna need the good vibes, he was fairly outspoken on the issues of priests and bishop sex scandals. Lets see how he continues in that spirit.

Just to pick some more nits, I believe you have the word order wrong, Set. Shouldn't that be Omnia Gallia in partes tres divisa est?

In Latin, not only does form follow function but, as a rule, adjectives follow the nouns that they modify.
