My Pope Pez

popepez

I want to thank one of my fellow visitors for designing this beautiful PEZ dispenser for me. As you know, I love PEZ and often chew them between long readings in mass.

If you wouldn’t mind, I’d like to start selling these in the Vatican gift shop, right next to my Pope (Soap) on a Rope.

I’m going to have the following slogan on every PEZ dispenser package: “Eat a PEZ, and Save a Soul from Purgatory.”

These babies will sell like crazy--just like my statutes of St. Francis.

As the creator of the Pope Pez, I am honored that you are considering selling them in the Gift Shop. You are an inspiration to us all!

Thank you so much. I shall make you the Patron Saint of Pez.

Ah yes, I'm sure it will be a great seller. I personally enjoy the bottled holy water that you've blessed. I need to stock up on some.

You could make them commenorative items - just add the year and a signature and they'll go like hotcakes!

I think its popetastic. Perhaps you could also make wart remover called Holy Moley Remover. May your melanoma be blessed.

Dear Mr. Pope sir,
now that you have this Pez thigi, which is definitely hot, does this mean you will be pulling out of the Rolex mafia??? Is it true you're supposed to get a really huge cut from it??
oh and are you planning on doing any special blessings for the blondes? just wondering--

I'll swap my Homer Simpson Pez Dispenser for one of your pope ones as I may not be able to make it to the Vatican gift shop!

Will they be sold at Walmart? What is the Vatican's view of Walmart, by the way--good stuff cheap, or evil empire?

What's your view on women in the priesthood? Will you think about changing this silly, sexist rule during the brief time you'll be in office, oh Holy One?

Pope, not to insult you or anything (because after all, you are the pope), but you could much more easily reach the masses by selling your Pope Pez on E-bay. I mean, even old Catholic grannies have the Internet these days. Save them a trip to Rome.

I've considered ebay and Walmart, but I'm thinking that it's best to just sell direct through the Vatican.

I don't buy coffee at Starbucks. Too expensive. I prefer the coffee at my local gas station. The gas station doesn't even want tips--they actually offer me money in the "take a penny, leave a penny" dish. It's great.

I love the Pez idea, have you considered selling Gummi popes?

Pope Pez! That's pretty cool. I think you should have Pope Trading Cards too with players from past and present. Saving souls from purgatory through merchandizing... I guess the Church has come a long way since the selling of Indulgences.

You should make the Pope PEZ look like little wafers. It could be like mini-communion.

Thank you so much for stopping by my humble blog. I'm very sorry to hear that your cable is out. You'd think your cable provider would have some priorities. Anyway, I put up a link to your blog in my blog so maybe I could get a blessing? That would be so rad. Oh and... no more high fives? Really?

Sorry to post twice in a row here, but were you aware that someone is trying to sell your Popemobile? Er... former Popemobile, that is...

Wow, you are one popular guy. You need to work on getting that beauty queen wave just right. Maybe the Queen can tutor you on that.
Your Pez dispenser is a great way to attract the love of children all over the world. The Vatican could have a section called Neverland where kids could feel safe and get free Pez candy.
My site could use your blessing if you can find the time. I'm feeling very spiritually oppressed and could use a powerful blessing.

Hey, You Holiness, maybe you should have them make your Pez dispenser into an mp3 player? Ask this guy. I'm sure it would be absolutely bitchin'. You could do podcasts of your masses.

The best thing about you is your dogmatic steadfastness. I've been hoping they'd choose a pope like you for years - someone who would kick it with the old skool flavour. Much respect for giving mass in Latin.

I fucking love the Vatican. Such a fascinating place.

Peace out.

Much respect.

I'm thinking about starting a popecast soon. I need to get a producer like Dr. Dre to help me out. I want some killer beats to back me up. Peace.

I'll be happy to help you with your wave your Popeness, but didn't you already have one from your time in Germay? I think it was like your arm in the air with straight hand--fingers closed, and there was a saying that went with it...now what was that...hmmm..."Hail somethingerrother!" I'm sure you know what I mean.

I really don't wave much though. I consider my subjects worms and prefer to look down my nose at them...

Your Holiness,

Upon reviewing your PEZ dispenser I must report that it
appears to me to look more like the Hindu god, a
phallic symbol which is dressed to look like "the god of the occasion" and washed with substances that appear to emulate ejaculant. Most espeically the mitre.

Well, perhaps its intentional? Great way to attract the youth of the world!

I think that the Pez thingies are much better than the Pope bottle openers that your predecessor had commissioned. Plus, what with just about everyone turning to twistoffs, the bottle opener lacks the utility that one expects of a first class holy trinket.

A number of us would like one in pink. Are you likely to diversify?

I'm thinking about producing a whole line of Pope Pez dispensers. Obviously, one in each primary color. I'm also thinking it would be nice to have some music play whenever my mouth opens. Not sure what song yet.

Actually, when I was in Rome waiting to get into the Vatican, I actually bought a Pope John-Paul II snow globe.

Your Popeness,

I think the obvious choice for your Pez dispensal song would have to be Marley's 'Redemption Song' no?

Only if you are endowing the industry of Connecticut, a small empire of hope.
That was the only reason, to keep edifying industry and movement. If there is anything else symbolic in the Popepez, forget my endorsement...nah..changed my mind (after listening to Lang Lang's hall recording) let's go all the way...keep those fingers working. How is your Horowitz rendition coming along? Not ambitious but arrogant. Thump. I again hit my head on the lamp. Thump.
