Various failed opening lines I have tried to start this entry with:

So, I have two voicemails on my phone right now that I ought to listen to, but have not. One is from my oldest friend from high school and the other is from the guy I'm ostensibly dating.

And what's more, she not only knocked down the pope, she knocked down, like four cardinals at the same time, one of who broke a wrist, one of who broke some ribs.

I admit, I read this and thought, why is Thorne talking about herself in the third person? I KNOW IT WAS YOU. But seriously, was this lady's tackle out of love or some kind of protest? I havne't heard about this. You're my only source of papal news.

Oh my God, Baco, I can't believe you would think such a thing. I WOULD NEVER WEAR THE SAME OUTFIT TWICE IN SUCCESSION FOR AN ATTEMPTED POPE TACKLING. IT'S LIKE YOU DON'T KNOW ME AT ALL.

(Because one, it's gauche. And two, I am that kind of superstitious sports fan who has to change their shirt and/or jersey if her team loses or is doing poorly. Therefore, an unsuccessful papal tackle would of course prompt me to change my outfit up for the second go-round. Jeez.)

Actually, she has... uh, well, probably some mental problems. But she apparently did not mean to harm him; she just wanted to get really close up and talk to him. I guess. This was scary!Pope, which almost makes me respect her game some more; I don't think I could try tackling that pope unless I had a lot of alcohol in me.

I feel like pope-tackling should be a national sport somewhere. Not sure where, but somewhere.
