Sancta cacas! Papa Francesus Aspen se movet, beatum telemarkum vertit
in sacro eloquio, puluerem surripere.

You're damned right it's rusty! You better hope that John Cleese doesn't come across that post:



Having said that, this photo is quite obviously a fake. Catholics are very bad at telemarking, as they genuflect with the right knee only. You can always tell the Catholic telemarkers, as they're strewn all over the right side of the mountain till someone comes out to pick them up.

@Jurassien
That explains my weaker back left foot. I guess their was some benefit to my more wayward days in my youth! Which extended longer into life than many!
