Ebay Miracle Breakfast, The Missing Jesus Freak

Thursday March 3, 2005

I'm sure you're all familiar with the various bizarre Ebay auctions that pop up from time to time, but I just can't imagine who is going to buy a banana bearing the face of Jesus, or a toast with the face of Mary. Seems we're one miracle short of a complete breakfast... anyone out there have some miraculous Lucky CHarms? For starters, how do we know that's Jesus, and not Wild Bill, or the guy from Pearl Jam? (Personally, "Mary" looks suspiciously like "Elmo" from Sesame Street) Here's the all-time kicker: how about $20,000 for a closet door?

Of course, if you don't have Twenty Grand for a door, or a hundred dollars for a banana or a piece of bread, you can always have your very own Crown of Thorns. No? WHay not a chunk of the "True Cross?"

Here's a sad story...The First Jesus Freak gives a short bio of the rise and fall of the Jesus Freak movement and its charismatic, popular, and very gay founder Lonnie Frisbee.
