Hey there, a friend of my girlfriend was ordained as a catholic priest and I thought I'd give you guys an outsider's view on the goings on--
First off, we all sit in these bences called "pyoos," but they don't really smell like anything. After a while, some phantom-of-the-opera type of music starts playing and a bunch of guys wearing their pajamas come walking down the aisle. One of the guys carries a big pole with a little statue of a guy nailed to some wood at the top. I guess they're trying to say, "watch out or this could happen to you." Then a bunch of older-lookin' guys with folded up napkins on their heads walk by real somber-like. Some kids in front of them shake a ball with incense in it. Maybe the older dudes smoke pot and don't want their moms to find out, I dunno. After that, you sing a bunch of songs, but don't worry.. as long as you can memorize the word "alleleuia," you've got about 90% of the lyrics down. The main old dude, I think his name is Archie Bishop, starts saying some gobbledy-gook and everyone touches their chest a couple of times. You're supposed to shake the hands of the people around you, but I don't know these people and where their hands have been, so I just kinda waved. After that, all the guys who are in their pajamas touch the new priests heads to check for lice, I think. Then we do some more "alleleuia" songs. They started to hand out crackers and I was kinda hungry by this time, so I asked my girlfriend to get me a couple, but she didn't seem to be too keen on that idea. If they gave out hamburgers I think they'd get more people to go to church. Archie starts sayin' some more gobbledy-gook and then we all get to leave. This religion stuff seems pretty goofy to me, but maybe I just don't understand it.
