I hope that I’m not ever in the same position as this poor chap…
Here he is having to give thanks for being saved from an impromptu gender re-assignment surgery performed by Dr. Canine. According to the seller of this beautiful piece of Mexican folk art, the text translates to Read more »
I’ve heard (and love) the Jesus Airplane Ride song but I’ve never heard of Christ ascending to Heaven in a rocket. I’m pretty sure that that would kick ass.
Speaking of Jesus and Rockets and kicking ass, someone on Ebay is selling a fantastic DOMA Astronaut Jesus Print. If you don’t know about DOMA and Astronaut Jesus, read the Bible. Oh yeah, and search online for the toys.
Since I’m stll temporarily swearing off ebay purchases I’d strongly suggest you buy this. If you don’t want it, buy and and then see if the seller will gift wrap it so you can send it to me.
I’ve sort of started Saint Billy’s Home for the Homeless Holy Statuary. If I’m at a thrift shop, the Virgin Mary and her unwanted baby Jesus end up coming to stay at my place. If you know of any homeless idols, point them my way.
They take up space (on display of course) in different areas of the house. In the kitchen above my microwave I have a shelf where I keep all our spices and chunk of my “Plastic Jesus” collection. They aren’t all plastic and they aren’t all Jesus, which is why I Read more »
So far I’ve sold and shipped 6 things on ebay since my little announcement last week. I had one little setback of an item that didn’t sell. That’s okay though. It’s been relisted and is hoping for a second chance. Today I’m going to list another wave of items because I didn’t list for a couple of days.
But here is the problem you see… After I do some weeding, I find more room to put things I do want. So now there are empty spots in my house where things like this
or this
What makes these so great you say…
Are they valuable? Probably not. Are they tacky? Probably so. Are they Jesusy? DEFINITELY. And that is why I must have them.
It’s vicious cycle. For now I’ve vowed it off. No buying on ebay. Not until I’m competely finished with my purge. And of course, these items will have found new homes by the time I’m ready to start purchasing. It’s quite sad. But I’ll manage. Luckily for me ebay has a lot of stuff (and I have poor taste).
But wait. You could buy them for me. Wouldn’t that be grand? If you do, I’ll send you a custom prayer. If you get both of them for me, the prayer might even include ritualistic animal sacrafice. If you want to buy them for me, just click the pictures…
Thanks in advance.
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.
