4. There's a kind of sadistic twist

in all these holy heads pierced with screws... I wonder what the person was thinking while turning the screws down.

7. It's a variation of that Hunchback punchline

"I don't know his name, but his face sure rings a bell".

Where did you find these? I'm still laughing!!

I'm gonna run far away and block that memory if at all possible... and hope my sight returns.

And on edit: I can be positive that there's at least one of these things in the retirement mobile home park that my mom in AZ lives in.

15. Heh! Sorry. This junk fascinates me...

Edited on Mon Mar-28-05 11:44 AM by onager

Maybe because I grew up in the rural South, where almost every house had one or three Jesus paintings in it. In those paintings, Jesus always looked like the love child of Billy Graham and Ted Nugent--blue eyes, creamy skin, light brown/blond hair, etc.

Be careful with that "Jesus Of The Week" site. He ENCOURAGES people to send him the tackiest Jesi they can find. The site has been going strong for 3 or 4 years now, and I don't think he'll run out of material any time soon.

16. I had that picture!!

Hanging on the wall over my bed, where Jay-ee-zus could "watch over me" (and if this isn't a recipe to give a kid a fear of stalkers, I don't know what is.)

Come to think of it, Mr. Pcat could pass as a Jesus picture....

Did you live in an area that did the out-door Virgin Mary statues, sheltered by half an old bath tub and surrounded by beds of flowers made out of old tires painted white to disguise their essential tireness?

17. No, only the Pope-worshipping Papists...

...would have had that Virgin Mary bathtub. Where we lived, it was all Protestant sects. Including many Fundies, like the Fire-Baptized Pentecostal Holiness.

I think the closest Catholic church to us was nearly 20 miles away, and that was a college town.

Jews were about as common as Martians.

Thanks for posting about your Jebus picture. If I'd had one of those over my bed, it would have been a constant reminder that I could die in bed and go to Hell at any second!

18. Ahh... you haven't lived till you've been surrounded by Marian Kitsch!

And the Infant of Prague (baby doll dressed up in gaudy clothes) and St. Francis bird feeders and.... It's grotesque.

I'm so glad that my community does not allow that kind of statuary out front. Because it could get ugly...

And how can I forget the woman bending over showing bloomers plywood cutouts in the garden?

19. There's always the Catholic cable channel!

Oh, what a hoot that is! You're right, they have the Virgin Mary available in every configuration except dressed in bondage gear.

Every Xmas, it has Sister Vlad Tepes, a 900-yr-old nun, flogging this stuff.

One of my favorites was the Incredibly Lifelike Baby Jesus carved in wood, which they were thoughtful enough to provide in 3 sizes. They seemed to be implying you were a real cheapskate if you went for the smallest one, though. The largest one was life-size, and I think went for over $100.
