I only have my own interpretation, but I would say the sign-maker doesn’t like religion — or thinks God leaves his poop around for others to clean up? Or doesn’t want to be preached to?
Jay, last night my son had indoor soccer practice-and we live about 40 minutes away from the facility…I had time to kill so I went shopping. I was shocked to see solid chocolate crucifixes. Isn’t that a little sacrilegious? If I ever received one as a gift-I wouldn’t eat it…it would seem disrespectful to me. I am interested in your thoughts.
You didn’t ask me, but yeah, that seems weird to me, too. The sign made me wonder if the sign-maker has had crappy experiences when it comes to religion.
I don’t get wearing the cross as bling, period. But I’m a hard-core fundamentalist on that one. Wasn’t Sam Kinnison pretty clear on this? Wearing a cross as a Christian would be like Jackie Kennedy wearing a tiny gun?
Wasn’t he? And he came from a Pentecostal background and so I felt a real kinship for him — not because I’m Pentecostal, but because I got his jokes on a cellular level.
I think wearing the crucifix is supposed to be a reminder. And I figure those chocolate crosses and cakes etc (I have a cross cake pan. I’ve only made rice krispie treats in it.) are a cultural difference, like naming your son Jesus. And now the JEEPERS of the night:
YOungest comes out of the shower and calmly says “You better look in the bathtub.” THere’s a bunch of hair in it, and some chunks of what looks like soap. I said what’s all that hair? and my oldest yelps PHILLIP DID YOU BREAK THE SOAP DISH? (Its one of those porcelin ones) Yes- he hit it with his head standing up, shearing it off the wall, getting a cut on his head, that also trimmed his hair (very neatly). The bleeding isn’t too bad thank goodness. But he didn’t even cry or yell. Was just extremely calm about it all. He says he was scared that he’d get brain damage when it first happened but not scared enough to let me know.
Good Lord, that’ sounds incredibly typical. So he ripped off hair and he bled and he was worried about brain damage but he figured he’d just walk it off?
As for your cross baking pan, we here at DJ Central have consulted the Bible, and find that it’s OK to make Rice Krispie Treats in it, but if you make a cross-shaped brownie, there’ll be hell to pay. You’re welcome.
What does that mean?

Ohhh. I think it means the preachers are full of shit and that’s a pooper scooper.
That could be.
What’s with that symbol at the bottom of the signs?
It’s SAT-an. No, I kid. I think that’s the artist’s trademark, or signature. “T” for “TrustoCorp?” Again, I’m guessing.
If Trustcorp is selling I’m buying. The portfolio on Flickr is amazing.
I giggled my way all through those photos.
dyslexic humor?
What does it say about me that I found it funny?
This sign is offensive to me.

Regardless of the quality of the chocolate itself, we could say that it’s in “poor taste.” I wouldn’t purchase one.
I don’t even like chocolate Easter bunnies. I’m not keen on eating rabbit body parts, real or pseudo. “Here! Have a piece of bunny butt.” Nooooo.
I have this on my iTunes fav list. I imagine it’s offensive to some.
Another thing that peeves me is the use of the cross as “bling,” by persons who don’t have a Christian thought in their heads.

I miss Sam Kinnison-he certainly was a high-energy performer.

Did you just drop a “bling” on us Jay? Check your bad self out!

Phillip’s OK?
