The Pope's shoes
I kid you not, these are the Pope's shoes! I guess it's hard to find the just the right shoes to match that hat!

Shoot, Dude needs some Tony Lamas! Someone take him to Cavenders Boot City!
Hey, Pope, what happens if you click your heels three times?
You just want someone to talk to/They just wanna get their hands on you/You get whatever you choose/Oh, no, you can't do that/Once you started wearin' those shoes.
- Last verse of "Those Shoes", from the Eagles' Long Run LP. (Does anyone still say 'LP'?)
Equally important, according to Wall Street analysts, in these times of economic uncertainty, are the height of the Pope's robe's hemline and the type of heel favored in Pontifical footwear. As the theory goes, a higher hemline and taller heels portend good economic news.
So, show a little ankle, eh, Pope? For our readers in Saskatchewan, please transpose the Pope and eh.
Pardon me Pope, where can I get a pair of those shoes?
I suppose that may be a really dated reference. Maybe it just came to mind since my local Methodist Church is having a big band concert this Friday. Miller (Glenn, not the beer), Dorsey (as in Tommy, not Terry), Basie, Goodman (Benny, not John) kind of music.

Now, Todd, ironic that you should say "I kid you not", for that is exactly what those red shoes are made from - goat skin.
All understandable, of course, as, being Catholic, the Pontiff is quite fond of kids.

(Hey, don't blame me, Todd started the Catholic jokes about six blogs ago...I'm glad to help wherever I can, though...)
