I'm watching a "Father Ted" marathon on DVD.

Love that show. Feck. Drink. Girls!



Mrs Doyle: What would you say to a cup father?

Father Jack Hackett: FECK OFF, CUP!
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Father Ted: What was that sermon about?
Father Dougal: Sorry Ted, I was concentrating too hard on looking holy.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Father Ted: Now concentrate this time, Dougal. These

Father Ted: are very small; those

Father Ted: are far away...
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Father Ted: Fascists dress in black and go around telling people what to do, whereas priests... more drink!
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Father Dougal: Hello Len.
Bishop Brennan: Don't call me Len, you little prick. I'm a bishop!
Father Dougal: Oh right. Well done.

1. I'm waiting for my DVD set to come!

When it does, it's going to be a Father Ted marathon around here, too! I do hope it gets here today or tomorrow. Father Ted is my favorite show OF ALL TIME!

Arsebiscuits!

Edit: I spelled "biscuit" wrong. God, I'm such an eegit!

2. "Can you imagine it, Father?"

Your husband, standing over you, his lad in his hand, just wanting you to DEGRADE yourself? Can you picture it, Father? Can you get a GOOD MENTAL IMAGE?"

3. I can't stand it any longer!

I'm going to go put one of my tapes in.

4. Do you think he'll be the next Pope?

I hope the College of Cardinals know about this guy. Maybe you should send some DVDs to the cooler Cardinals.

8. Unfortunately, Father Ted is dead.

(For real. The actor died the day after they filmed the last episode. Heart attack.) :-(

Otherwise, I think he'd be great.

15. but that hasn't stopped people from suggesting Father Dougal!

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/2540369.stm


Now, venturing further into the religious world, the company's website lists 15 clerics and their odds of becoming the next Pope.

Most are serious contenders for the papacy, but the inclusion of Father Dougal McGuire of Craggy Island may come as a surprise to the Vatican.

Television viewers will recognise him as the scatterbrained young priest in the Father Ted sitcom. He is the outsider at 1,000-1.

5. Lol we get Ted reruns every week over here.

"Ride me sideways - that was another one" :D

6. This is one of my favorite parts of a Father Ted episode.

Mrs Doyle: There's always time for a nice cup of tea. Sure, didn't the Lord himself pause for a nice cup of tea before giving himself up for the world.
Father Ted: No he didn't, Mrs Doyle!
Mrs Doyle: Well, whatever the equivalent they had for tea in those days, cake or something. And speaking of cake, I have cake!
Father Ted: No thanks, Mrs Doyle.
Mrs Doyle: Are you sure, Father? There's cocaine in it!
Father Ted: WHAT?
Mrs Doyle: Oh no, not cocaine. God, what am I on about. No, what d'you call them. Raisins.

7. Glad you're back from where ever you were, BB!

Welcome back 'home.'

:hi:

[Bouncy Ball]

9. Thanks! I was trapped in hotel hell

with about nine all news channels and I forgot to bring a book to read. The hotel was in a very isolated area and I don't know my way around Austin well, so I hardly ventured out except for the conference. There by myself, no one to talk to. Nothing to do but watch the Pope-A-Thon. So I am detoxing by watching Father Ted, now that I'm home!

:hi: Nice to be back!

10. One priest in a lingerie department, that's a scandal, but *four*...

:D

[Bouncy Ball]

11. LOL, one of my favorite episodes.

[GCP]

12. Kicking Bishop Brennan up the arse

was one of my faves, then the "Speed" take-off with the milk float set to blow up if it went less than 5 mph. The priests trying to come up with ways to save Father Dougal and having a mass for him on slow wagon going past him. Priceless.

[Bouncy Ball]

14. LOL, I have so many favorites.

The milkman one was great.

[billyskank]

13. Dougal talking in his sleep:

"...consonant...consonant...vowel...vowel...consonant...no Carol, put your clothes back on, I can't concentrate."

[bbernardini]

16. Are those buttons you can actually purchase somewhere?

I want a button that says "ARSE!"

[mr blur]

17. Dougal: "We're on the mainland,

and we're outside an opticians - it doesn't get any better than this!"
