So, where da mamamobil?
2025, the year of the first trans pope?
She didn't come out yet so don't out her if she isn't ready herself
Ah, does that count as outing?
I am not sure on how that works.
Dadmobile, got it.
...dammit, how did I not catch that 'pope' comes from 'papa'
Daddymobile.
I think in Latin it's papa. In German, it's Papst which is close. Only the vehicle is Papamobil because Latin is more dignified i guess
Not Papstmobil?
No, Papamobil from Latin papa. Very dignified
I'm going to enjoy this haha
i mean, if the pope is afraid of dying and going to heaven; we're all screwed.
The American version would require a modified F350HD with a fork lift to get the Pope lifted into the back.
Edit: actually kind of hoping to see if they do that for am American tour when he visits Chicago and such
If i saw it right, the hearse for Pope Francis's funeral was a modified DODGE RAM 1500. When it backed up to the door of the basilica with the coffin the back, it looked like someone just made a run to the hardware store to pick up timber for fixing the benches.
That's fucking awesome. I want my hearse like that too.
The jumbotron really adds to the whole effect. I want that at my funeral too.
Makes sense, It's the most Italian pickup.
Wait no there should have been so many other options.
They're gonna chauffeur the new pope around in the killdozer
Man that would be metal as fuck.
The American version would require a modified F350HD with a fork lift to get the Pope lifted into the back.
And rigged to roll ~~coal~~ incense.
Fire coming out the exhausts, custom firework launch racks, a gun safe filled with automatic weapons (probably), and the whole thing runs not on gas but only on fresh 100$ bills.
Why forklift? The current pope isn't that fat.
Obviously the pope's protective glass box is permanent, and must be slotted into the truck. The moment they decide you're pope, into the safety box you go.
(Theres a 40K\golden-throne joke in there somewhere but I'm feeling lazy today.)
get into the terrarium your holiness
I just assumed it would be insanely high off the ground.
Popeballoon?
Neunundneunzig Popeballons
I never noticed that it changes from one country to another. I thought the Vatican just brought a ton of those and sent them before the Pope traveled.
They see me popin', they hatin'
Trying to catch me diddling
What else should we call it? The Batmobile? Dude's not Batman!
It's the new 4-wheel Spiritus Sanctus 2.6l Trinity-Turbo \o/
Popeswagen it is.
“In 2007, the popemobile”
"In 2002, pope John Paul II"
I mean, "popemobile" really doesn't sound like a fancy or formal name for something.
What should we call it then ..... someone should ask the Internet to find a new name for the 'Popemobile'
You know it'll be something like "Mountain Dew Kampfy Ride" or some shit.
Even worse: "popey mc popeface"
I am partial to autopopile.
Paedomobile
Then the winner will be Popey McPopeface.
On today's Pope My Ride!
It’s a shame that the article appears to have been edited since.
Ice-cream van? Hold on, it isn't. On an ice cream van it says "mind this child", on this one there is "I don't" before.
