Passed on to me by my sister-in-law who is head of the theology department of a midwestern Lutheran college -- Enjoy! Cavalcade of Bad Nativities Linn |

There are equally odd Jewish offerings including a plush toy Moyel(sp?)scissors and Dress Up Plagues for your Seder. Even a boil to wear. I enjoyed this thoroughly Linn. So do you eat the Baby Jesus cookie from the head or the tiny toes? |

26 Dec 07 - 05:13 PM (#2222887) Subject: RE: BS: Cavalcade of Bad Nativities From: Greg B Some years ago, when people still had a sense of humor, there was a tag-line on the very popular 'A Charlie Brown Christmas' which was Linus' voice saying 'The baby Jesus was played by a 15-watt light bulb.' It came at the end of the credits. Of course, it is no longer there--- somebody obviously got offended. |

26 Dec 07 - 06:40 PM (#2222923) Subject: RE: BS: Cavalcade of Bad Nativities From: Sandra in Sydney I loved it - I'll be printing up the picture of the rubber duckies nativity to add to my collection of duckies in the bathroom. Most of the ducks are real rubber/plastic duckies, but I do have some pictures. I wonder where I can get them - tho postage to Oz would add a bit to the price! So I think I'll just have to enjoy the picture. thanks for posting the link, Linn, using your one good hand. And watch out for hand pain - overusing a computer keyboard is not a Good Thing, you don't want a second, longer lasting sore arm. sandra |

26 Dec 07 - 06:59 PM (#2222932) Subject: RE: BS: Cavalcade of Bad Nativities From: RangerSteve It's not uncommon in folk art to put the nativity in surroundings familiar to the artist, so I'll forgive the cowboy one. The Irish and Eskimo don't appear to be real folk art (Okay, the Eskimo one isn't even close to folk art) and they're inexcuseable. This is the funniest thing I've seen in a long time and I thank you, BG for bringing it to our attention. |

28 Dec 07 - 12:41 PM (#2223758) Subject: RE: BS: Cavalcade of Bad Nativities From: Greg B As I was driving through Hellertown, PA, I saw a church advertising its 'Christmas Putz' on its sign-board. Having spent my share of time in the New York metro area, where Yiddish words pepper the language, I was a bit confused until I looked it up. Unfortunate, these linguistic and cultural clashes of meaning, but amusing none the less. |

During a pre christmas stay in Madrid a couple of years ago many of the baby Jesus figures were sporting swaddling in Real Madrid colours! |

28 Dec 07 - 07:52 PM (#2224046) Subject: RE: BS: Cavalcade of Bad Nativities From: Sandra in Sydney Megan, maybe this might change your mind. ======================== One day in the Garden of Eden, Eve calls out to God ... "God, I have a problem!" "What's the problem, Eve?" "God, I know you've created me and have provided this beautiful garden and all of these wonderful animals, and that hilarious comedic snake, but I'm just not happy." "Why is that, Eve?" came the reply from above. "God, I am lonely. And I'm sick to death of apples." "Well, Eve, in that case, I have a solution. I shall create a man for you." "What's a 'man,' God?" "This man will be a flawed creature, with many bad traits. He'll lie, cheat, and be vainglorious; all in all, he'll give you a hard time. But, he'll be bigger, faster, and will like to hunt and kill things. He will look silly aroused, but since you've been complaining, I'll create him in such in a way that he will satisfy your, uh, physical needs. He'll be witless and will revel in childish things like fighting and kicking a ball about. He won't be too smart, so he'll also need your advice to think properly. " "Sounds great," says Eve, with an ironically raised eyebrow. "What's the catch, God?" "Yeah, well ... you can have him on one condition." "What's that, God?" "As I said, he'll be proud, arrogant, and self-admiring ... So you'll have to let him believe that I made him first. So, just remember it's our secret ... woman-to-woman!" ======================== |

29 Dec 07 - 06:26 PM (#2224601) Subject: RE: BS: Cavalcade of Bad Nativities From: Bat Goddess Lovely flamingoes! Despite not actually collecting flamingoes (I collect rubber squid), I seem to be a flamingo magnet. This summer ther has been a movable feast of flamingoes on Washington Rd in Rye, NH. I'd drive by once a week (on my way to the only icecream place in NH where I can get malts) & the flamingo family would be changed around each week -- adult flamingoes,baby flamingoes & in one instance a GIANT rbber duckie. A few weeks ago on another road in a different town, the house with a rumba line of flamingoes was joined by a neighbor a few houses away with a lightup reindeer playing with 2 flamingoes. My flamingoes, alas, are in their winter pasture. Linn |
