What am I doing here?
Thought I would just peek in on the Blessed Sacrament for a moment.
Ahhh. Peace.
"Portrait of An Exhausted Swiss Guard" by Rembrandt van Rijn
It DOES look like a Rembrandt.
I'll one up you and call it Caravaggio-esque.
"When no one is looking, I slip my ear pieces from my iPod in - makes the shift fly by! Have you heard the new Mariah Carey?"
Single Catholic Swiss man seeks sincere Catholic woman -- object, marriage. Must tolerate pikes, plumes, and striped uniforms. Ability to move to Rome a must.
*sigh* Third shift duty for the next six months... but I STILL don't think the Squad Captain's jokes are that funny!
re: the Rembrandt and Caravaggio comments, I think you're noting the picture's use of Chiaroscuro:

"You said I don't bring you feathers anymore. So I brought them."
(Sorry for all the love jokes. But we all know that Switzerland is the home of Romansch.) :)
I saw a sign up that said "Help Wanted". Do you have an applications? This economy has been bad for all of us-- especially since the Gendarmes slashed their prices.
Bondini. James Bondini.
...or...
There once was a guard at St. Peter's,
Whose job was to watch all the greeters.
He'd wish all the day
At the Pope's side to stay,
But if not, he'd pose for Tom Peters.
I dunno folks. Children guarding saints, I'm thinkin'.
Kinda mysterious-looking, that one...
Yes, he does look like a painting by Rembrandt or Caravaggio....
