Crucifix on the mouth...is this a Schiavo thing?

[OrlandoGator]

Today at a Home Depot here in Orlando, I saw two different women walking around the store holding crosses on their mouths. Is this some kind of Schiavo protest, or some religious thing I've never heard about?

1. you know how good Friday you're not supposed to eat meat?

This Hot Cross Tuesday. Eat a crucifix before lunch and you get to cut in line at the pearly gates. Eat three and your partner flies for free.

Seriously.

2. Why do you hate American Sui?

8. Hot Cross Tuesday?

21. I've heard of Hot Cross BUNS, but....

but that imply somewhere other than the mouth.

3. my god, the nutjobs are multiplying at an alarming rate....

hopefully this Schiavo crisis will backfire when THINKING people realize that this is not a blip on the radar screen!

4. Well, they keep falling off if you take your hand away. Sheesh.

the religious ignorance on this board is frightening sometimes. :eyes:

10. What got me was they were talking.

They were holding the crosses on their mouths, but attempting to talk to the store clerks with them pressed to their lips.

It was bizarre to say the least.

27. Very strange

I don't get it. I've never heard of this before. :shrug:

5. Kissing an element of torture in public? Sounds like an S&M thing.

7. were they chocolate?

or is that the type of sacrilegious thing only heathens would do? oh wait....http://abcnews.go.com/Business/wireStory?id=613589

11. Were they...

red because that does have something to do with Terri Schiavo.

12. Umm, crosses in easter grass

bound to be the very next phase.

[MuseRider]

13. This is beginning to remind me of

the Ellen Jamesians. Sheesh.

[LostinVA]

14. I said that very thing

Last night! And, remember Ellen James HATED what they did in "support" of her...

[MuseRider]

16. Wow, great minds and all.

I have been increasingly horrified by the similarities.

[LynneSin]

15. I love the whole story about the Ellen Jamisians...

...John Irving at his best!!

[MuseRider]

17. That is one of my all time

favorite books. So much in there to muse about.

[MemphisTiger]

19. I loved that book

It's amazing how true that analogy is though

[LeftHander]

18. Lots of vampires work at home depot....nt

[MuseRider]

20. Gotta kick this back up

because I was hoping someone knew what this means? I mean I have no clue why someone would do this. Is it new? Has anyone any idea what this is about?

[barb162]

22. Aare you saying they were holding a crucifix to their mouths with

their hands? Or were the crosses taped to their mouths?

[OrlandoGator]

24. They were holding the crosses to their mouths with their hands.

The crosses were about 3 inches tall and 2 inches wide.

[soup]

23. Failed members of the balancing a spoon on the nose group?

:shrug:

no clue here.

[OrlandoGator]

25. Anybody else? I'm really baffled by this one.

:kick:

[BuyingThyme]

26. I'd bet they were praying.

You see people doing that with their crucifix necklaces. Possibly a Schiavo thing.

I guess there's only so much time in the day.
