...YES..his image was used in 1967 when Irish Spring Soap put it
on a rope and mandated it's use in community showers before vespers....

Actually, yes, his real name was Pope Larrold, but they shortened it to Pope Larry for all the good deeds he did in his parrish or whatever it is the popes have that they are in charge of.

His complete name was Pope Pious Larrold the Flamer.

You're welcome.

Was Pope Larry a tall, slender man without pronounced shoulders and an incredibly bald and smooth head?

Might explain the extracurricular use of Pope on a Rope

Pope Larry?

According to perpetually ongoing Vatican City scuttlebutt, the dude was quite the card, especially whenever the circus came to town.

Rumor has it he often teamed up with an ever changing assortment of sword swallowers (more often than not from Serbia, but occasionally some guy from Finland would make his way onto the starting team), just to help make ends meet, so to speak, during any unforeseen papal down time.

At least, that there's the rub, according to a series of unsealed documents that were recently found inside a mayonnaise jar on Sacco and Vanzetti's porch, or wherever it was, since noon today.

Other than that, I'm sure he looked great in heels, and, more than likely, could choke it up with the best of them.

Larry the Lamb of God, Bureau...

I've heard of Pope Larry - pronounced Larry
though - NOT pronounced shoulders.

He was one of the good guys and used to write for The Spoof until he was blinded by a bishop swinging the insense holder around dangerously in a processesion. It broke his nose too.

These forums need a damned good clearing out.

Roll-on Spring.

No, a good clear-out.

Don't you remember your mum telling you your wardrobe needed a good clear-out? You know, of all the shit you'd been collecting, that you were never going to use again.

A good clear-out. Like when you've been out for a few beers and a curry, and the next morning you need a good clear-out.

Yeah. That's it.

Monkey, I didn't have much in my wardrobe coz we were poor.

Also, the other 'thing' you mention takes care of itself regularly at 6.30 a.m.

L.G.

Dirty lady.

More so because she doesn't get up until 7am.

Sorry LG, couldn't resist.

Larry Pope was a disc jockey on a New York radio station in the late 60s. Originally he did the Sunday morning ecumenical broadcast, but soon tired of pretending to give a damn and became one of the raunchiest DJs in New York radio history, taking the name Pope Larry. He was famous for discovering REM and a pen down the back of a sofa. After leaving radio he went onto found Apricot computers. Due to his excessive use of illegal drugs, he is the source of phrase "Happy as Larry".

All of this is true.

For a given value of true.

Give me ten minutes to set up the Wikipedia page and it'll be verifiable too.
