Quotes!!

So, as official Quotemaster of the group, I now bring you some of the best off-yet-so-much-on-the-record moments from our WYD pilgrimage....enjoy!

Since 90% of the quotes came from our beloved Fr. John Martin (aka Padre Formaggio), I'm featuring his wisdom first:

"I always used to enjoy listening to the words of Jesus, but now it's just annoying!" (describing the notorious Jesus doll....and this was before we had even left the country...)

"Jesus' words aren't practical!" (also talking about the Jesus doll)

"I have an announcement: I have wet wipes."

Rakhi: "Fr, could you marry anyone on this trip?"
Padre: "I'm not allowed....I'm a monk."

"Last night, as we were wandering through the land of darkness and gloom....." (describing when the guys got lost on the way to the Opera House)

"If all else fails, we'll adore the Lord."

Jerry: "You were supposed to pass [the empty ice-cream cup] on to someone before we left the train!"
Padre: "Well you see I'm wearing my collar so I have to be careful....I don't want people to think What kind of a priest is this? He gives me rubbish!"

"It's idolatry because we're worshipping a doll."

"Check it out!" (the Padre's famous dance move)

"Never blog in the shower."

"You never know when you'll need a spork."

"I love penance horror stories!"

"I crown you Queen Duct Tape!" (to Laura)

me: "What doesn't kill me makes me stranger."
Padre: "But you're so strange already!"

"The bird is 80 years old....but he doesn't look a day over 45!"

Fr. Bernard: "Some Presbyterian chaplains are coming to the cottage next."
Padre: "Oh let's not clean for them!"

"World Youth Day pilgrims, GET A GRIP!" (to us as we were very slap-happy and playing with the overhead lights on our last flight)
