Wednesday 10/1/14

Welcome back to another exciting edition of “Wednesday LifeTeen Link of the Week!” Unfortunately, Tim can join us again this week, so we sat down to discuss this week’s link.

Mike: Did you see what I did up there, Tim?

Tim: Yeah, very nice. I like the subtle little shots, they reveal how insecure you really are.

M: Wow. If your intention was to shoot an arrow right through my heart… Bullseye!

T: Aren’t you going to credit that line?

M: OK. I stole it from “The Producers.” Sue me.

T: They might.

M: Can we just do the link?

T: I thought you’d never ask.

M: So what’s on the docket?

T: What’s “on the docket” is another social media account of an important religious person.

M: Is it the Pope’s twitter?

T: What? No, you dope, that was last week’s link. You wrote it. Don’t you remember?

M: Oh, yeah. Right. Is it Father Chris’ Facebook page?

T: Somehow that’s even more wrong.

M: Is it Constantine’s Instagram?

T: The Emperor Constantine died on May 22, 337. Not only did he not have Instagram, he didn’t have social media, a computer, a camera, or electricity. The closest thing he had to Instagram is a library. Are you even seriously trying here?

M: I was, but I’m not going to try anymore with that attitude. I’m stymied. Flummoxed. Perplexed. Nonplussed. Confounded. Disconcerted…

T: Gratuitously verbose?

M: That too. So what’s the link?

T: The link is to Cardinal Seán O’Malley’s Blog!

M: Cool!

T: Yes, it is. He updates every Friday with all sorts of cool pictures and a rundown of his week.

M: Yeah, and I’ve been on it.
T: This past week he wrote all about ordaining a bunch of deacons. There are some awesome pictures.

M: Yeah, and I’ve been on it.

T: Yes, yes we have. The week before last, he wrote about his work with seven other Cardinals working to help advise Pope Francis. Talk about interesting stuff!

M: Yeah, and I’ve be-

T: Stop it.

M: Stop what?

T: You were going to say “I’ve been on it” and post that stupid picture again.

M: First, I wasn’t going to say that. I was going to say, “I’ve been thinking about talking to Father Chris about using part of my salary to give you a raise,” but I’m not going to do it now. And second, that’s not a stupid picture.

T: No, it’s not, but you can’t even see you in the picture.

M: Sure you can! I’m the one in the bottom left… I think.

T: That might be you. He’s certainly bald enough.

M: Sticks and stones, Tim.

T: Hey, I’m not trying to brag or anything, but that’s my face over the Cardinal’s right shoulder. We are pretty tight like that.

M: Yeah, yeah.

T: Well, that’s all the time we have for this week. Check out Cardinal Seán’s blog!
