No not the musical.
Just saw on the news that the Virgin Mary is apearing on a wall under the Kennedy Expressway Fullerton exit.
I'm always a believer when I watch SONG OF BERNADETTE.
The local NBC news said that to beleivers it's the Virgin Mary. To non believers it's salt stains.

brdlwyr - you have any contacts at NBC?
I'd love to meet Rob Elgas.

Posted: 4/18/05 at 11:24pmIf it weren't for the candles, I would've just passed it by not even thinking it was the Virgin Mary.

Posted: 4/19/05 at 12:39amIsn't that hard to do when your face is in a pillow?

Posted: 4/19/05 at 11:05amI had to go check this out and I can tell you without a doubt it is just a salt stain. I licked it.

Posted: 4/19/05 at 11:15amAh, that's nothing. The Virgin Mary made an even more spectacular appearance on a soiled bedsheet in Australia.

This is so sad & pathetic-- it was on the cover of one of our freebie, crappy tabloid newspapers today.
I'm not the least bit religious, but doesn't the mother of God have ANYTHING better to do than to appear in salt stains and grilled cheese sandwiches and cinnamon rolls (wait that was Motehr Theresa, sorry)??? I picture JC watching the evening news and seeing this story: "MA! PLEASE! Didn't I ask you to stop messing with the humans? You show up on a garage door or a tortilla just about every week!"

Posted: 4/19/05 at 11:32amWow that is a really unflattering picture of the salt stain! It doesn't look much like the Virgin Mother, it looks more like a..um...well....it looks like where you might look to see if someone WERE a virgin.....

Posted: 4/19/05 at 11:55amI love how someone wrote "Satan Loves U" next to it. Oh, the hi-LAR-i-ous irony...:P

It DOES look like a vagina!
This is just all so unseemly.

No offense Sueleen but I ain't licking that. It's been over 20 years since I licked something that looked like that and I'm still traumatized. Besides, I would never lick anything I found underneath the expressway at Fullerton, even if it was the Blessed Mother!
Although it's just a short walk down Western to Margie's-- let's all meet for Ice Cream!
