Is it just me or does The Most Challenging Scenario of Communion Distribution in the Upper Deck of Yankee Stadium sound like a great title for a novel?

The Most Challenging Scenario of Communion Distribution in the Upper Deck of Yankee Stadium More challenging than throwing a bag of peanuts into the middle of a row, or passing down a hotdot with all the works?

like the Dalai Lama with brains. "His arduous daily regimen begins at 3:30 A.M., after which he proceeds, as he told Iyer, to "meditation, prostration, reciting special mantras, then more meditation and more prostrations, followed by reading Tibetan philosophy or other texts; then reading and studying and, in the evening, 'some meditation—evening meditation—for about an hour. Then, at eight-thirty, sleep.' " This sounds like a lot of meditation and reading for a monk in his seventies—especially someone who, beginning at the age of six, underwent a gruelling education for nearly two decades in Buddhist metaphysics, Tibetan art and culture, logic, Sanskrit, and traditional medicine, and eventually secured a geshe degree (roughly equivalent to a doctorate in Buddhist philosophy)." Don't think the Dalai Lama is lacking for brains.

And here I was hoping the papal skateboard was somehow the solution to the most challenging scenario of communion distribution in the upper deck of Yankee Stadium. I bet his Holiness could get some righteous grinds going if he wanted to.

The Pope is infallible. Thus the wafer distributions will have no hitches whatsoever.

Doesn't matter what he does or who he is. If he fails to win games George Steinbrenner is going to fire his ass all the way back to AA.

Is it just me or does The Most Challenging Scenario of Communion Distribution in the Upper Deck of Yankee Stadium sound like a great title for a novel? I thought it was a new book by Borat.

Do you pronounce the Sacrament of Last Rites "extra monktion"? When I was a kid, we did. It sounds like something out of Shaolin Soccer.
