- Go to Jesus Smudge Nets $1500 on EBay
Oh, don't be such a cheap-skate. The oil alone had to have cost at least
$5. Where's your sense of fairness and proportion?

I don't know, Xeno-x. Tell them it's Simba from the "Lion King". Still,
you're probably right. Nothing sells like Jesus. By the way, "horshak" was the guy on "Welcome Back, Kotter". "Rhorschach" is the name of the psychological inkblot test.

its a lion with a black mane
you can see one of the ears upper right
like a stuffed toy lion.
but I guess that wouldn't sell like Jesus would.

put a smudge out and see what people think it resembles.
let me look at that smudge one more time.

Go for it, Julia. Think about it. You create a Virgin Mary smudge or a
pieta smudge, cut the slab up, photo it, sell it on EBay for thousands, go out and buy some Qickrete for ten bucks, replace the slab. Wait about six months, repeat. Why? Cause it's a f**king miracle, that's why? You can't stop Mary and Jesus, baby...

First there was the "Jesus" fried tortilla
then came the infamous grilled cheese and now... an oil smudge? Oh good grief! I don't have anything against Jesus, God or religion, but why are people so stupid that they would pay money for these things? I wonder if I could go out to my garage and create one, I could use an extra $1500...oh heck, maybe mine will sell for $15,000!!

Same here, Lady. I'd like to know who purchased this slab, though...

Well, gomedome, if I had bought a $1500 piece of oil-stained concrete, I'd
immediately call a psychotherapist to find out why I was being delusional and acting so out of character. Seriously, though, the only buyer I can think of for this kind of crap has either got to be the Golden Nugget website that has bought so many other religious oddities (the grilled-cheese sandwich, for one) or possibly an up and coming lube service business that wants to use it as a publicity attraction. "At Jesus Lube, we'll help protect your car and your soul..."

Makes you wonder, hazel, how much of that money the family donated to
their church, making it a lot of money spent stupidly on a oil stain and cement, then money stupidly given away for nothing. What'st that song, "Nothing from nothing leaves nothing..." The entire sequence is ridiculous...

saul_relative - can people be any more ridiculous than this?
And a chunk of concrete is such a handy thing to have, like what the heck would someone do with it?
