St Cornelius and Angel of Corn
I’m a huge fan of St Cornelius, Corn, Cream Corn, popcorn, and even hominy so I figured I would share yet another picture from my collection of beautiful religious items. My spanish isn’t very good and I was very drunk the entire time I was in Mexico when I bought this, but I’m pretty sure they guy who sold it to me said it was a 16th century carving of St Cornelius, the Patron Saint of Cream Corn.
Anyways, here goes…
One of my Catholic friends told me that this thing had nothing to do with Saint/Pope Cornelius. He said it kind of looked like some weird Day of the Dead angel at a family reunion. How is he supposed to understand the artist’s inspiration when the piece was created?
That guy can be a real buzzkill sometimes. Not like Buzzkill the tv show though. Oh, and speaking of television… I wish I could watch tv while at work so I didn’t miss the inauguration. This thing is huge, and I’m missing it. No seriously.
