I suspect Godot will be arriving any time now.

Well, never mind. I'll finish that thought later.

I'm well aware of that, but I thought it was established many many Newpix ago that it was to be called either DONG or BONG (and definately not BING).
EDIT: Speaking of which, has it been updated to LONGDONG/LONGBONG yet?

@Pope Helper:
Already annointed an Apostolic Visitator? I volunteer, it's a job for having lots fun!

As Pope, I do solemnly appoint yee 'Apostolic Vistitator', Holiest of Holy Fun-Havers.
I'm not sure what that is, but I don't see anything wrong with handing out various jobs!

We lease it back from the company we sold it to and thus it comes under the operating budget instead of the capital accounts.

It doesn't look like a statue (yet), as I previously thought. Maybe they're building a tomb of the unknown stickfigure.
