This weekend I went to this flea market and I bought a cloak that I thought would be perfect for role-playing Lord of the Rings/Game of Thrones. Then I found a tag sewn inside and realized that it probably belonged to the Pope. I can only assume that he decided he needed to unload some of his vestments to pay for retirement. Regardless, I think this means that I’m the new Pope. Or that I’m running for Pope. Something like that.
- There are stains all around the hip line, which I hope is wine. Probably it was just sprinkler water and the Pope was like “Ah well, it’s only water” and then Jesus turned it into wine and the Pope was like “JESUS. THAT STOPPED BEING FUNNY THE 100th TIME YOU DID IT” and Jesus was like “Just wait. It’ll come back around again.”
Technically it looks like a RenFest costume…until you turn around:
Yes, it's a cross, but in my defense I thought it was a giant "t" for "The Game of Thrones." Or "Mr. T." One of those.
Regardless, I think that I’m now the official Pope until the new one gets elected and I’m pretty sure that I get paid in hats, which is great because I totally have a face for hats. Plus (unlike the last Pope) I won’t just join twitter and immediately get distracted and stop working, because I’m already good at not working but still pretending to work. Also, I’d get to ride in the Pope-mobile, which is like a convertible that has a see-through top so your hair doesn’t get fucked up and you still get a tan. Which is pretty smart and probably my favorite thing the Pope has ever invented. Plus, if I run for Pope lots of religious people will be praying a ton. Mostly about me not needing to be elected Pope. And possibly some just praying for my soul. So I just raised prayer rates and I DON’T EVEN HAVE A HAT YET. That’s how awesome I am at being Pope. I’m not even trying and already Jesus is probably super inundated with work. Which he loves. Because he’s not on twitter.
PS. I need some slogans for my posters. Because I’m pretty sure you run for Pope the same way you run for student council and that’s what I would have done if I wasn’t so high shy. I’m thinking something like “Jenny for Pope. She’s got issues but the last Pope was in the Hitler Youth so maybe stop judging her, asshole.” Or something with ninjas. People love ninjas.

Jenny for Pope!
You know, if someone did find a cape that had once belonged to the pope at a flea market, it would probably be you. Also, I’m not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing. Since it could be from one of those old dead popes, and so it’s probably haunted.

I’m worried that Pope B gave that to the yard sale because he peed on it too much. Which also might be the reason he quit as Pope. Your slogan: “I look awesome in red shoes”.

Well, you’re in red here, which is the cardinal color. Popes wear white, at least until they start spilling the wine too much and it becomes obvious because of the stains. The white doesn’t show the stains so much of other things priests spill. If Monica Lewinsky had been wearing a white dress, Bill Clinton would probably still be president.

I would vote Jenny for Pope. The white smoke would be the result of all the exploding heads of Cardinals.
P.S. While your theological credentials might be a bit weak, I think your background in HR and your experiences in asking “Is this your penis?” makes you infinitely better qualified to handle the Church’s real problems.
I can’t think of a catchy slogan, but if you become pope, I think that will automatically elevate Hamlet Von Schnitzel to a religious relic. He’ll need a super snazzy reliquary. Something made of gold and encrusted with precious stones. Or a Hello Kitty lunchbox. Actually, a mouse inside a cat’s lunchbox probably isn’t the best idea. Unless that’s how he was martyred. Holy shit, I think martyrdom could actually elevate Hamlet to sainthood. That’s totally how sainthood works, right? No? Maybe?
All I can see in my head is a picture of you surrounded actual cardinals (taxidermied of course) with tiny voting ballots and signs with your face on them. I have no idea how many, (cause im not catholic) but I know there should be a lot of them…and its totally a popularity contest anyway so its completely like a student council election so you should be totally fine. Cause in my vision these cardinals seriously love you! Probably because your propaganda includes birdfeeders with vote for Jenny written in an envenly distributed mix of peanut butter & bird seed.
Do you have two giant whisks hanging on your wall? You could make some epic scrambled eggs.
I don’t have a good feeling about that thing…
Ooo…if you become Pope, are you going to bring Hamlet and Juanita back to life? I don’t know about James A. Garfield, though, since he’s just a head.
You could use my campaign slogan from when I ran for something in 10th grade:

My campaign manager came up with that and thought it was HILARIOUS X 1,000. We couldn’t figure out why I didn’t win.
Jenny for Pope: because like a ninja you didn’t see this coming.
I left the Catholic religion in the 4th grade because I found out women can’t be popes. If you get to be pope, I may have to return to the fold. But only if you get to be pope. You or Oprah. You, or Ophrah, or Tina Fey.

The Popess.
In church vestment circles, that kind of cloak would be called a cope. It is worn by the Celebrant (priest, bishop, or whoever is presiding) for formal processions, blessings or celebrations. You’ll see them used sometimes in Episcopal (Anglican) and Orthodox liturgies, as well as Roman Catholic services. Red is used for Palm Sunday and the week before Easter, Pentecost, and for martyr’s feast days.
Sadly, knowing all this geeky church trivia won’t make you Pope; but at least it gives you another rhyme to work with in your campaign.

And don’t forget to tell all your followers that following you on Twitter and buying your books will get them a ticket straight to heaven no matter what they do on earth.

Is it like going to New York and finding a knock off Kate Spade bag, but your flea market has knock off priestly robes??? By the way you should look up Walter Potter, a taxidermist from around the turn of the century. He gives you a run for your money on “interesting” creatures. I especially love the bunny cheating in the classroom! (although with your background I bet it is old news to you!)
Honey, I have bad news. The Pope is in Rome. He doesn’t send his hand-me-downs to charities in the U.S.A. You may run for Cardinal, or if you are afraid of being mixed up w/the baseball team, you might even have to settle for Bishop. That’s it. You know the saying: aim high and settle.
Jenny, despite your new robe and the vaguely cathedral-looking background in those pictures, I doubt you will win this election, because you cuss too much. It’s very un-popelike to use the F word. Also, you’re a woman, remember? It’s extremely un-popelike to have a vagina.

OK, that last post looked like it was spam. So I am going to clarify that I thought I saw the pope this morning but it turned out to be Mike Tyson. Well it was more that I thought it was Mike Tyson but later suspected it might have been a NEW pope, but then I saw your post and realized it was probably you the whole time, and that stain might be some kind of random hotel tea.

Well, it’s sort of red, black, and gold. I’m guessing the “t” is for “Tywinn.”

Dang, I love you. And I love that robe! You are my favorite pope ever, even more than Pope Genevieve G. Rota.

I’d vote for you, but I’m Jewish so I wouldn’t have to do anything you said.
Being an actual Catholic, I can tell you that’s no SCA made cloak. That is a cope used in Liturgical services Anglicans and Episcopalians use them too. As much as I love you, no Pope for you. But you COULD be a bishop in the Anglican church….
If the T were blue, I’d say it was for “Tardis” but it’s green, which just stumps me. Maybe it’s T for “trash” and it’s Oscar’s vestments?
For campaign slogans, how about “Even ninjas want Jenny for Pope. They’ll tell you themselves if you can find them.”

According to legend/history you could probably get around that whole “the pope has to be a man” thing. Just don’t have a baby in the middle of the street during one of those pope processions.#Pope Joan
Jenny for Pope because she already realized that God loves three ways.
well normally the Pope is guarded by the Swiss Guard I think, so maybe you should have ninjas. So you’ll be the first Pope with her own ninja protection posse. That will definitely bring in the votes.
Jenny for Pope, because: Beyonce.
If that is a bishop’s cloak and has red wine stains, and the pope wears white, clearly you are going to have to switch to Chardonnay (or Sauvignon Blanc, my fave) after your inevitable election to the papacy. But don’t worry, it is a small price to pay to rid the holy mother church of choirboy-molesting priests, which you would do on day 1. And maybe days 2 – 1002 because there are a lot of them. Oh, and you could make all the cardinals switch to red dresses instead of robes, just because then they would have to be all humble cuz the whole world would see their skinny legs.
Or you could just declare yourself the Pope of the Church of Jenny and avoid that annoyingly long flight to Rome.
“Let’s Pretend this Never Happened” could be the perfect Pope slogan.

Why not just go with the old posters from running for the President? Wasn’t that something about “free unicorns.” I mean, your whole platform should be something “green” and how better to save the world (and trees) than to re-purpose your old posters?
Anyway, if Pope doesn’t work out for you, you are always more than welcome to join the church I founded/created in an online forum ages ago. All are welcome. And we don’t judge anyone. We even currently have an opening for a Deacon and hey, you already have the robe so you’d probably be a shoe-in…
It is called The Church of the Rising Penis.
All rise…..
Oh, I think you’re too late…my friend David already claimed the title of New Pope by virtue of his red shoes. But maybe he’d lend them to you? Or you could lend him your cape.
Jenny Lawson for Anti-Pope!!!! Because she is much cuter, is too smart and is way too funny to be an actual pope!!! Keep the robe though….its great for layering and you can still be like the unicorn ninja or something.

There is a story about Pope Joan–apparently the 13th century, “Joan” disguised herself as a man and became the Pope. She was busted as a woman when she was riding a horse and gave birth. Perhaps you found Pope Joan’s cloak, and your name also starts with a “J”. Coincidence? Perhaps NOT!

Sorry to rain on your parade, but that cope isn’t necessarily a Catholic item and even if it were, it’s probably the cast-off of a local parish. (Whoever sent it in needs to have their head examined, though, because I’m pretty sure a thrift store is not the proper way to dispose of excess vestments.)

Jenny if you become Pope, I will definitely go back to church! Otherwise, it’s pretty much never going to happen, unless somebody dies, or gets married. You could run on a platform aligning yourself with St. Francis, who had a thing for animals!!!

(This is like getting a celebrity endorsement for free, because who wouldn’t keep reading a sign that said Batman for Pope?
And btw I think I have a great way for you to win the whole Pope contest. Being Pope is totally like a popularity contests, they vote for you. And people who you’ve converted would be totally obligated to vote for you. (I’m not a religion scientist, but I’m pretty sure that’s how it goes.)
So, what you have to do is convert a but-load of people. Now I’ve heard tell that actual _live_ people get all critical when you try to convert them without asking (and who has time to ask)…
“Quit throwing water on me!”
“What the hell are you chanting?”
“Where did that cloud of incense come from?”
“I already have a God!”
But I read somewhere that you can totally convert someone on their deathbed (and even after death) by giving them last rights. Which is (as far as I can tell) just chanting and sprinkling holy water on them. So here’s my plan…find yourself a few cemeteries of folks from another religion, and start a-chanting.
(FYI, if you’re worried about where to get the holy water, just drop by a church, they totally leave it at the front door in a big bowl…unguarded. Probably so people can fill up squirt guns to keep under their bed against the threat of vampire attack.)
PS. This may not actually work because I think in reality it’s only Cardinals that get to vote for Pope… But what the hell, when have we ever let reality get in our way before? Plus, I think the Cardinals will be impressed when you show them the pictures of you converting whole cemeteries of people for them…I mean that’s work they don’t have to do now.
PPS. I’m pretty sure I’m going to Hell too…

Well, I think you now need to reconsider those cat suits. While the seersucker is lightweight enough for summer, it’s obvious the cats will now need something a bit more CLERICAL, if you get my drift. Whether you call them acolytes or decide to make them altar boys or bishops, they will require new clothing.
However, as a Pope needs their ‘staff’ to be dressed for the occasion, he can no longer have any problem with you dressing the cats in suits–albeit much more religious/clerical/formalware than the original seersucker.
But I think they need to keep the bowties. Nothing says “I’m a furry Bishop of Her Holiness the Pope” more than pink bowties.

As a former Catholic, I was actually creeped out by the thought of putting that on. Like Catholic demon hands would come forth and suck you back in to the fold.

Here it is, I hope you’re ready for this. I was thinking your cloak sort of reminds me of the ones by the Monty Python folks, and that you need a broad-brimmed red hat to go with it. And with that, you could jump out from around corners and yell at people. Your slogan would be, “No one expected the Spanish Inquisition, either.”
