locate the holy grail and hold it for ransom from the Catholic Church

Ain’t worth the hassle.

eep

it was not like I expected, though.

Couch cushions, under the car seats, under the bed, and I just couldn’t find the damn thing! Next time I find myself in Europe, though, I’ll have to continue the search.

this one, well, it’s not very nice-a … it’s made of plastic in fact and doesn’t appear to be suitable as a vessel of any sort.

possibly, it could be used by the cardinals to prank a fairly wasted ratzinger at the next vatican kegger but otherwise, it might be a tough sell.

...and there was much rejoicing !!

Since ThinkMelissaThink found it, I am off the hook. Too bad she’s the one who gets all the rewards! Oh well. I’m Jewish anyway!

it isn’t here. Not that the Pope was interested anyway; I asked him.

Let me be in charge next time!

you’ll never reach. How do you know when you’ve located the grail? How do you ransom same? And, the question I asked earlier, why ransom it from the Catholic Church?

Perhaps grail is just another word for chalice, but I’ve never heard grail used anywhere except in this context. Did they even have chalices in Jesus’ time, or was it just an invention of renaissance art?

So this particular chalice, which probably doesn’t even exist, get’s a whole damn word to itself. Sheesh! That word could have been used for something useful, like those sparkly things that come out of stars (or appear to) to make them look sparkly.

Have we found the damn thing yet? I want my share of the loot.
