More signs of impending dooooooom!

#1) David Lee Roth is training as a paramedic in NYC. It is conceivable that some day DLR may actually save your life.

#2) A ten year-old grilled cheese sandwich that some people believe has the likeness of the Virgin on it is going for 22,000 on EBay. That's TWENTY-TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR A MOLDY GRILLED CHEESE.


Don't tell me the world isn't coming to an end. Both of these events were predicted in Revelations.

Actually, I remember reading that the cheese sandwich has never gotten any mold. The point stands though, because I'm pretty sure Revelation never got that specific.

I would pay for the knock-off version (well one of them):
Grilled cheese with the likeness of a virgin mary ... kate olsen.

What was the other one?

Well dang, these people who have $70K to throw away on a grilled cheese sandwich can send a few thousand dollars my way too. I could put it to much better use.

Maybe I should find an interestingly-lumped potato, bake it then put it up on Ebay and see who bites.

$70k is reasonable but the $9.95 shipping and $.35 insurance is outrageous.

David Lee Roth just wants to cop a feel, cut your clothes with those blunt scissors while you're sedated in that windowless ambulance.

Didn't see any celebrities in my sandwiches. I'll have to ask my wife to do better next time.

How about Jesus in a Ritz cracker?

Didn't someone put up their roommates virginity on e-bay?
Anyway, I wonder if I put myself up for auction if I'd be worth less than that darned dirty cheese sandwich? Maybe if I get a virgin mary tattoo huh?
I'm not going to dwell on that too much, I might have to go get on prozac.

I think Jesus would be more comfy on some sort of Manischewitz product.

Wasn't Jesus on a cinnamon sticky bun at one time? Or was it the Virgin Mary on some sort of danish? I've lost track.

I have a friend who once went to a gay Pagan commitment ceremony. She brought "Cheeses on the Cross", a styrofoam cross covered with an assortment of cubed cheeses, attached with toothpicks...

Reminds me of that old Don Imus bit (remember WAAAAAY back, when he was still drinking, drugging, and FUNNY? (10,000 Hamburgers to go)), "Cheeses of Nazareth." I think it was a Revered Billy Sol Hargus bit.

Or was that Firesign Theatre?

Here's a link to the toast story.

I dunno...Ritz are pretty nice crackers. I think Jesus would go for something a bit more modest...like saltines.
