Church vs. Chicken*

Never has the death of one, who meant so much to so many, meant so little to one (me). Sorry. Trying to be all dramatic and "Churchill-y". Not to sound callous but I'm referring to the pope, who seemed like a decent old fellow. Being raised non-religious I guess I just don't get the hubbub surrounding popes. Are they 'more human than human' or something?
Ok, I've read some things about them and the Church's power/land grabs after the fall of the Romans. And maybe, along with Reagan, JP2 laid low the USSR. And perhaps he told Catholics to stop hatin' on the Jews. And maybe he officially declared that the Church would no longer use war to further their cause, though you'd think SOME pope would've stated this at some time between the Crusades and now, no? The bottom line is, what's this got to do with me? He didn't conveniently package tasty chicken parts for purchase from the supermarket. Baring that fact in mind I'll have to say the death of Frank Perdue probably has a more direct impact on my life.
Those two chaps were about the same age. I have a fun time imagining them competing against each other in some corporate softball tourneys in their younger days. "Frank's got a devilish riseball!!" "Lay off the high ones, Pope!" "mule!" "nag!" or whatever chatter that happens during softball/baseball games (I'm obviously basing this from non-Kevin Costner baseball movies).

*No not Church's Chicken the place with the tasty biscuits. If you want delicious fastfood chicken (and seemingly the only place on the east coast that serves horchata) check out Guatemalan sensation: Pollo Campero. Warning: site contains music. An awful/catchy jingle in fact. "todo me gusta, me gusta todo!"
