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.

If it weren't for the candles, I would've just passed it by not even thinking it was the Virgin Mary.

Hey, I was booked to appear on that wall! It's so hard to find good venues these days.

wildcat, I told you already - they pulled your booking when they realized you hadn't seen virginity in...well...some time...

And I slugged the last guy who called me Mary.

Isn't that hard to do when your face is in a pillow?

Exactly. And you really hurt your hand, remember? And he walked away laughing...

And then the wind changed and now I'm stuck like this forever.

I had to go check this out and I can tell you without a doubt it is just a salt stain. I licked it.

Ah, that's nothing. The Virgin Mary made an even more spectacular appearance on a soiled bedsheet in Australia.

Kimmy, are you sure that was the VIRGIN? Mary?

Here's a picture of it.

You be the judge....

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!"

For some reason, I am reminded of Marie Barone's sculpture on an episode of Everybody Loves Raymond.

Posted: 4/19/05 at 11:32am

Wow 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.....

Anyone here in Chicago want to meet me there at 5? I'll bring the Tequila, you bring the limes.

It looks like Papa to me...so that's why he hasn't posted. PAAAAAA....PA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love how someone wrote "Satan Loves U" next to it. Oh, the hi-LAR-i-ous irony...:P

[SueleenGay]

Actually, Rose, that was Liam and he meant to write Santa Loves You.

It DOES look like a vagina!

This is just all so unseemly.

Posted: 4/19/05 at 12:34pm

Well, she IS supposed to be the 'uber-mother'.

Posted: 4/19/05 at 1:35pm

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!
