A New Pope Is Coming -- Time to Review Papal Fashion!

A Riddleblog reader sent this picture to me with the following caption:

"The man on the left, wearing a fabulous vintage chiffon-lined Dior gold lame gown over a silk Vera Wang empire waisted tulle cocktail dress, accessorized with a 3-foot beaded peaked House of Whoville hat, along with the ruby slippers that Judy Garland wore in The Wizard of Oz, is worried that The Da Vinci Code might make the Roman Catholic Church look foolish."

My favorite comments from the original post:

“There's no place like Rome, there's no place like Rome, there's no place like Rome...”

"To Rome, to Rome ... it's off to works we go..."

“Whoever wrote that know TOO MUCH about the fashion industry :-)”

"I suppose a scarecrow reference would be considered ad hominem. So I'll refrain. I thought that would be the strawman fallacy...”

“The Pope (meaning “father”) dresses like mother . . .”

Time Flies . . .

Every Sunday night the White Inn crew would drive from Mike Horton’s house in Anaheim to the KKLA studio in Glendale. This picture was taken in 1996, shortly after KKLA moved their studio from North Hollywood to their upscale new digs. We’d been on the air for five years by then. Mike and Rod both enjoyed the improved vending machine selection. Rod would eat his Cheetos and Mike his chips. I’d drink some coffee. People often asked how we prepared for a live broadcast. After an hour’s drive (with some very enjoyable and fruitful banter in the car), we’d get to the studio, snack, and converse. We were ready. Once the previous program was over and 9:05 approached, we had time (a few commercial breaks) to settle into the studio and wait for the “live” light to come on, and we were off . . . There’s nothing in my experience which compares with doing live radio with Rod.

Mysterious UFOs Over the Arctic Circle? We've Been Warned Before!

The shoot down of four mysterious objects spotted by NORAD coming in from the Arctic circle, brought to mind the warning plea given at the end of one of my favorite Sci-Fi movies of my youth—The Thing (1951).

Famed Gunsmoke actor James Arness made his first movie appearance as the vegetable-like alien bent on world conquest, before being fried in a clever electric trap set by a few American airmen at an arctic base.

The movie ends with the famous clip above, when the embedded reporter shares with the world what happened and urges vigilance. 72 years later, he sounds rather prophetic . . .
