Oh my goodness!! I never though I'd win anything!! What's the protocol? Do we send you our addresses?
I'm so excited (you can tell from all the exclamation points!)..I've had the best day ever, and this totally adds to it! Thanks flea!
Yep, send me your address, and I'll drop it in the mail.
That Jesus in pirate regalia? Made my day.
I'll admit a Jeeeeezus Pirate is tough to beat. Why do I want to make a Roberto Clemente joke?
Now I have something to wear to graduation! Mom will be so proud.
No. Way.
Also, I can't quite tell what Pirate Jesus is holding. Is it a chainsaw? Because that doesn't seem . . . period.
I assume Pirate Jesus is holding a cross.
heh. I can't believe I just answered that question.
It's a bazooka.
He's an ANGRY pirate Jesus, kicking ass and taking names. Trust me, you don't want to be on his list. The sequel to The Passion of the Christ: Jesus is Comin' and Boy is He Pissed starts in theatres on Friday. Starring Val Kilmer as the Second Coming and Warren Beatty as the Beast.
This movie has not yet been rated.
That's clearly a blunderbuss he's holding.
And you all call yourselves pirates. Lubbers, the lot o' ye.
I love the idea of Pirate Jesus.
Now we need a battle between Pirate Jesus and Snake Gandhi, and my day will be complete.
OMG, Ralph: "Jesus is Comin' and Boy is He Pissed".... I think I need my inhaler now. Congrats, all ye winners!
I hate to be a real downer, but is she sure that isn't a statue of Saint Godric?
Camera,
You will NOT rob me of the joy that is Pirate Jesus with your "factual questions" and knowledge of obscure saints! No one listen to her, okay? La la la, I love Pirate Jesus! Pirate Jesus is the shiznit! Saint Godric? Never heard of him, tra la laaaa!
I can vouch for the authenticy of Pirate Jesus because this one 1 of 2 Pirate Jesus's (What is the plural to Jesus? Jesis?) that we saw in Portugal but this was the best. The first thing that my friend Beth and I saw when we saw him was "Why is Jesus dressed like a pirate?"
When showing this to friends when we got back to MN, our friend Char said that he is obviously saying "Arrrr, my child." I think it is "Bless you, my matey."
This picture, to add to the weirdness, was taken at the Chapel of Bones in Evora. This is a chapel that is made entirely out of human skulls and femurs.
I can't believe I won! This so rocks! Is it horrible to say that Jesus truly does work in mysterious ways?
Yeah, I'm so going to hell.
See you there, DM. I'll keep a light on for ya.
Oh my! I can't believe DM won. When we chatted about the contest and this picture, I never thought she'd actually submit it and win. Way to go DM.
And from someone who saw it all, that is supposed to be Jesus. There was no mistaking it when seeing the statues in person.
Hi Flea - I just wanted to tell how much I enjoy reading your blog. It's truly a bright spot in my day.
If you don't mind passing on the word, I'm planning a rescue mission from Chicago to Houston, where my family is. My grandmother is stuck in a hospital in Houston, and I'm going in after the storm to get her out by boat. Full details of my trip are on my blog at the link above - I'm especially looking for supplies.
Thanks again, and keep the posts coming. I really need the humor right now!
I can't believe DM won either! They were visiting me when she took the pic, that is Jesus carrying a cross, absolutely. But I still don't see how that looks like a pirate - behold the cultural rift. No Portie would look at that and think of a pirate, ever. We would think of yet another Jesus in velvety clothes carrying yet another cross. I love it though, and DM will go to Catholic hell now for upsetting little black-clad, moustached old ladies.
[And the Chapel of Bones has other bones besides femurs and skulls. We are not dull.]
