SUNSTONE: Thanks for graciously consenting to this interview, @PopeADope. It's very kind of you, and I believe it shows what great esteem you hold me in. Before I forget, here's an envelope stuffed with the money you requested in small denominations.
POPEADOPE: My pleasure! What did you want to ask?
SUNSTONE: Well, the thought that has been on people's minds -- on nearly everyone's mind -- is "Why did you do it? What on earth possessed you?
POPEADOPE: I've always liked to shock myself by exploring ancient traditions that seem to many of us bizarre and perhaps even morbid. The more bizarre and morbid, the better.
SUNSTONE: But wasn't doing what you did extreme even by your standards?
POPEADOPE: That's a good point. I admit it was something I'd never considered before. Not even I had considered it before. It always seemed just too macabre, too grotesque. But then I thought, "Why not?" And I couldn't answer that question to my satisfaction. I really couldn't. So I went for it!
SUNSTONE: And so that's how it happened? The thing everyone's been wondering about?
POPEADOPE: Yes, yes, that's all there really was to it. That's exactly how it came about that I posted RF's first new thread on religion in six months that doesn't actually bash any particular religion.
SUNSTONE: Bizarre!
POPEADOPE: Hey! Hold on now! This envelope is stuffed with Monopoly money! What the...?
[PopeADope's mic cuts off, camera pans to Sunstone]
SUNSTONE: That's all the time we have left, folks! This has been a candid interview with RF's own PopeADope on the reasons he recently shocked the Forum by posting the first new religious thread in six months that didn't bash a religion or group of people! Tune in next time when we interview @Rival on her generosity in emailing nude selfies to decrepit old men!
