my most ecstatically catholic experience was when my friends & i stayed at a family-owned b&b in chicago for p4k fest 2011, brady ordered the eggs benny and they brought out a framed photo & two candlesticks and said "when you order eggs benedict, pope benedict joins you for breakfast"
photo of a commercial dining table w ramekins of salt & sugar packets etc. on the table is a framed photo of pope benedict xvi, behind him a seated person w their head cropped out of the frame has their hands clasped together in pious recognition

for perspective this guy bought one of the kim/trump peace summit coins, which sounds like a joke except i saw it, for real, just sitting out loose amidst all the piles of papers on the kitchen island in his suburban townhome

selfie of me in my halloween costume: a dark grey sweatsuit over matching grey tank, grey sneakers with white soles, star tattoo on one hand and a big white juice box in the other another selfie, this time a close-up: you can see the star tattoo contains a motif of interlocked Fs and the juice box has a soothing green label that says “Cuppliance.”
