This is false! Everybody knows that they smother the pope’s face with a huge hoe’s ass to confirm his death.
It was in a book of papal facts my very Catholic childhood friend had on the bus one time, so I buy it. One additional aspect I remember is that they call them by their Christian/given name when they hit them.
Popehammer is my favorite Elder Scrolls artifact.
Jesus allegedly came back, they aren’t taking those kinds of risks these days
The hammer is in fact eight feet long.
They’re making really sure.
Pope Says he’s feeling better now…
+5 damage and THAC0 against undead
you know it’s an ancient artifact when it uses THAC0
Plot twist: THAC0 bonus actually reduced your THAC0
This felt like a personal attack
“One” hit
“Two” hit Pope: “Ouch!”
…
…
“What do we do now?” “Just hit harder, it’s a self-solving problem”
“Three” smash Pope: “OUCH!!!”
…
…
“Now what?”
“I fear the Pope has died!”
“You can’t say things like that! You have to make sure!”
*wham-“Ack!!” wham wham
“OK, I’m sure the pope is dead.”
Is it to make sure, or is it to make sure?
The MitreSmiter 9000. Puts all doubt to rest.
They should abstain from the hammer this time round. Zombie pope is the 2025 twist no-one would see coming.
Live your life such that they have to verify your death
The papal tappy taps
The ancient custom of throwing the body into the Tiber river is too unrefined for these modern times
I bought one of those at Harbor Freight for like ¼ the price the Vatican probably paid.
I was just thinking that Stanley Tools should capitalize on Stanley’s success and release a line of replica ceremonial tools backed by a viral campaign instead of suing them for their success.
I would probably buy a replica pope whacker, the U.S. congressional mace if virally advertised, or even a golden shovel, engraved with a jaunty nihilistic saying, like “Digging my own grave!”
I got a golden shovel for Christmas 2017. I was (am) obsessed with twin peaks and my wife made one for me like from the show (the comeback season or whatever). Because I have to dig myself out of the shit.
Yeah but it breaks after hitting 2 popes
that’s still a good 40-50 years of use!
Still cheaper to replace when it breaks than the Snap-On one.
That’s the cool thing about harbor freight. How many popes you really gonna hit on any given day?
As many as it takes.
In all seriousness, my dad was a mechanic, and he’d buy HF air impact guns instead of Mac or Matco or Snap-On. The nice ones cost four to six times as much, and needed to be serviced about every 18 months, during which time he was down a gun.
So he’d buy two or three HF guns, use one till it broke in six months, switch to another, replenish stock at his convenience.
