CNN video: http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/us/2008/02/21/harrington.virgin.mary.pretzel.kval


Edit -- it's already up to $5000

:wow:

[Deep13]

1. I think it looks like a rabbit.

Can't see paying $5000 for a rabbit pretzel.

[SallyMander]

4. And a one-eared rabbit at that!

I'd only pay $2500 :D

[Deep13]

18. Well, it's in profile.

The rabbit is looking toward the left.

[Greyskye]

2. treble clef mating with a bass clef!

Music porn!

[SallyMander]

3. ...

:spray:

[Orsino]

5. In a manner only recently decriminalized in Georgia. n/t

[BlueJazz]

6. LOL!...I was thinking that also.

:)

[WritingIsMyReligion]

20. Holy shit, you're right.

:rofl:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

37. So THAT'S where the alto clef came from!

[Critters2]

7. I never understand these things. Are they supposed to carry some message?

If so, couldn't God be a bit clearer? Ya know, a big, booming voice or something? Seriesly, what's with the pretzels and toast?

[SallyMander]

13. And what IS the message exactly?

God wants us to eat more carbs? :D

[Critters2]

14. LOL! nt

[Deep13]

22. With all the cosmic power at the LORD's disposal...

...He chooses to reveal Himself in snack form.
:rofl:

[FloridaJudy]

23. It's because

Nobody listens to burning bushes anymore. I mean the last time my shrubbery burst into flames, I called the fire department. No wandering in the wilderness for this gal, no sirree...there's no cell phone coverage there.

{insert obligatory "trusting a Bush" joke here}

[SallyMander]

24. ...

:spray:

[Maraya1969]

8. The Virgin Mary looks like she has an intestinal tape worm.

And is this your action SallyMander?

[SallyMander]

11. LOL! No, totally not me!

I just saw the story on CNN and i thought it belonged in the Lounge :D


Edit -- though i wish i were about to make $5000 on a pretzel! :rofl:

[Pale Blue Dot]

28. Make that $16,000!!!!!!

I am going to have to think of what I can make into the image of the "Virgin" Mary.

:wow:

[EstimatedProphet]

9. The Virgin Mary is an ampersand!

[woo me with science]

10. 5000 dollars????

I'm gonna learn how to make pretzels!

[SallyMander]

12. IT'S OVER $16,000 NOW!!!

:wow: :wow: :wow:

[Maraya1969]

15. All the bidders have very small number of selling/bidding and are represented

With **** in the middle of their name. A private auction lists everyone as "private". Is it possible the bids are from the same person or friends of persons and are just bidding it up?

http://offer.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewBids&item=250218456975

[SallyMander]

16. Could be!

I don't use Ebay much, so i'm not sure how it works... maybe they're just gunning for publicity now?

[housewolf]

19. Large $$$ auction hide bidders' ids with **** in the middle of the name

Ebay says for privacy and to help prevent fraud, etc.

Ebay had best take a look at this - the seller has only been a member for about 6 weeks and has only had about 17 traansactions. Mostly purchases of inexpensive sports cards, 4 or 5 sales in the past week, might be re-selling some of the cards purchased previously.

Really bizarre...

[SallyMander]

17. There are some hilarious copycats now

"Seen the Virgin Mary Pretzel? Now see Moses' staff!"

[LynneSin]

21. What dumbass would spend $15k on a damn pretzel

that's a house downpayment

[SallyMander]

25. Somebody whose house had a way bigger down payment than that

I can't even imagine... :crazy:

[LynneSin]

26. I want to find out who wins it, go to their house and accidently eat the thing

I'm so evil

[SallyMander]

27. YOU BIT OFF THE HEAD OF BABY JESUS!!!

OMG!!!


:evilgrin:

:rofl:

[Fox Mulder]

29. People are fucking idiots.

$16,000 for a pretzel?

[leeroysphitz]

[LisaL]

32. If only I had 16,000$.

To spend on a pretzel.
:rofl:

[SallyMander]

33. LOL -- i know, right?

And it's not even chocolate-coated! :rofl:

[Jamastiene]

34. Someone's gonna bring up the Pope soon.

I just know it.


:popcorn:

[SallyMander]

39. What do you think?

Think i could make some money??? :rofl:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

36. Jesus

[SallyMander]

40. Remember this one?

Bite out of it and everything! :rofl:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

44. It looks like Sophia Loren to me.

[SallyMander]

48. Hey, you're totally right!!!

Someone got duped! ;)

[awoke_in_2003]

49. Thanks for the pic

off topic, but it reminds me what an incredible beauty she was.

[John Gauger]

41. WTF?

How can something that is deliberately shaped by a human hand be miraculously representative of the Virgin Mary? Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot these people are incapable of critical thinking.

[SallyMander]

45. Don't bother me with your puny LOGIC

Your mortal mind has no way of comprehending something of this magnitude! :P

:rofl:

[VenusRising]

42. Thanks for the extra work.

Now I'm going to have to examine every pretzel I eat for hidden holy symbols before I consume their baked salty goodness.


:hi:

[SallyMander]

46. LOL

Iza and i were talking about this... he thinks this could be our ticket. Maybe we should check the poppy-seed patterns on our bagels this morning... :think:


Hope you're having a great weekend! :hug:
