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. ;)
perth • Nov 17, 2004 4:47 pm
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. :)

$70k now...

I can't say it enough, people are stupid.
breakingnews • Nov 17, 2004 5:25 pm
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?
garnet • Nov 17, 2004 6:21 pm
Mmmmmm.....grilled cheese.
Cyber Wolf • Nov 17, 2004 6:33 pm
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.
xoxoxoBruce • Nov 17, 2004 7:00 pm
$70k is reasonable but the $9.95 shipping and $.35 insurance is outrageous. :eek:

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? :shocking:

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.
wolf • Nov 18, 2004 8:47 pm
Saltines? Wouldn't he just wonder why we are eating matzoh out of season?

My thing is this:

If this woman REALLY believes that this is the manifestation of the Virgin Mary, why does she want to sell it?


She also believes its mystical properties have brought her blessings, including $70,000 won in a nearby casino.


So let's sum up: "I have a sammich with the virgin mary on it. It has blessed my life, and I won $70,000 at a casino. Now I want to give my blessings to someone else. Oh, sorry. I meant I want to SELL my blessings to someone else. But you can't eat it. Because it's holy. It's so holy I'm selling it. Because it's the Right Thing to Do [tm]"

What a crock.

Speaking of the Virgin Mary...

I don't know, I'd say that face in the grilled cheese looks more like a 1920's flapper girl than the Virgin Mary.
Elspode • Nov 19, 2004 11:02 am
You know, I was thinking the same thing, but I couldn't figure out how to verbalize what I was visualizing. Thanks, 404!

That image in the sammich looks more like our current Madonna circa "Vogue" period to me.

The holy cheese sandwich sells for $28K.

was it made with swiss?

In case you were wondering. :whofart:
cowhead • Nov 23, 2004 6:47 pm
my question about the whole thing is that according to all reports about said cheese sammich.. it hasn't developed any rot... which is really odd

and yeah, it looks more like MM or that flapper girl.. unless! that was the virgin mary being re-incarnated.. OOPS wait.. uh... right! wrong religion!

Man says fish stick has Jesus' face
Canadian Press
Nov. 24, 2004 12:00 AM
KINGSTON, Ontario - An eastern Ontario man is hoping to make a bit of money by auctioning a fish stick he says looks like Jesus.

Fred Whan, who has kept the fish stick in his freezer since burning it at dinner a year ago, decided Tuesday that it was time to thaw it out so he could sell it on eBay.

A Florida woman recently sold a decade-old grilled cheese sandwich with the toasty visage of what's purported to be the Virgin Mary for $28,000, according to the eBay Web site.

Whan said he made the discovery while cooking dinner for his kids and several other children he was baby-sitting.

"I burned a few fish sticks, and I said, 'Who wants a fish stick?' and no one wanted them because they were burnt, so I thought I'd better give them to the dogs," he said Tuesday.

When he flipped over one of the pieces of fish to remove it from the pan, it seemed the face of a man was staring up at him.

"I said, 'That looks like a rock singer,' and then my son goes, 'It looks like Jesus,' and I said, 'Well, it does, yeah,' " he said.

Whan, 40, said he figured it would make a good conversation piece for friends and decided to throw the triangular piece of fish in the freezer to keep it as a joke. It was never about making any money from it, he said.

I think that Chef Boyardee needs to put out Jesus pasta and sauce. Flood the market with food that looks like a deity or semi-deity, and the market for such things will crash.
flippant • Nov 24, 2004 10:14 am
Haha! Jesus crisps or maybe mary o'meal for a hearty breakfast. Elspodes got the right idea methinks!
Clodfobble • Nov 24, 2004 10:19 am
Now hang on a second. You think it's funny because you came up with the idea. But can either of you seriously tell me that if such a product were created, without obviously mocking packaging, that you wouldn't condemn it as yet another way the Christians are trying to infiltrate your lives?

Better be careful what you wish for. :)
flippant • Nov 24, 2004 10:27 am
No I'm willing to mass produce it myself to prove that people will buy anything, even if it is an open mockery of their sacred beleifs! Wake up sinners! Absolve your sins in a bowl of jesus crisps. 2nd box saves soul for this one time only.....(offer expires 11/01/04)

On the contrary. I bought a package of Testamints once just because it was so damn funny.

There's a difference between my parody stuff and the things that are put out intentionally, and it usually is readily apparent which is which.

I'll have to check to see if next year I can get permission to show you guys the "jesus door" at the forks house.
flippant • Nov 26, 2004 9:48 pm
Yeah I know that guy. He works here in Colorado Springs. My roomy worked in his shop this summer. Evolve fish came about because the locals here start to get really perturbed by the focus on the family mafia overrunning this town. Jesus crisps is a completely different idea though. I even had that soap, but starting your morning with a bowl of jesus crisps I think, is the way to go. Jesus crispy heads with marshmellow crosses. What could be more- in your face sacrilege-than eating a sopping milky jesus head first thing in the morning?
