Last Night, I Cut Open My Baked Potato...And Found a HOLY CROSS Inside!!

[arwalden]

Blessed be! It's a sign from God!

It was a large potato that we were going to share. When it had finished cooking, I stood it up on its long edge and sliced it right through the middle.

Imagine my shock and surprise when I opened up the two fresh-sliced halves, and discovered that both halves had the shape of a cross "carved" into them! A MIRACLE!!

Actually, it can best be described as the potato having two small intersecting "tunnels" inside of it that formed the shape of a cross.

The inside of the cross is slightly discolored... a reddish-brown color... (kinda like dried blood stains) so I'm not sure if it's some sort of potato-rot or growth-blight, or what.

Anyway, I'm calling it my "POPE-TATO" and I'll be selling it on Ebay.

What should my starting price be? How much do you think it will fetch? I doubt I'll get as much as the grilled-cheese Mary or the pretzel Mary and baby Jesus... but I can hope.

PS: NO... I'm not joking! Every word of this is TRUE. -- I really do have a baked potato with a cross inside, just as I described!

2. I'd ask for pictures

but then those who truly believe don't need proof. :-)


I'll give you $3.50 is there's butter and sour cream to go with it. Maybe even $4.50 is there's chives and bacon bits too.

3. I find those thing in my potaotes all the time..

so I must be really blessed. Asking price for a tater these days is about $.49 a pound. so I would start the bidding at $100,000,000.00

4. Don't forget to pack it with cotton balls and put it in a clear plastic

box.

And start the bidding at $666 so the first bidder will get the chance to rid it of the mark of the beast!

5. Another sign that the Rapture is almost here!

The BAKED POTATO!! Praise Jesus!

[flvegan]

6. On the same day as the new Pope was announced! Praise be!

I'd start the bidding at (holding pinky up to corner of mouth) one BILLION dollars.

7. I once cracked open an egg with a chicken inside

I had to go to counseling for years before I could even walk down the dairy aisle again. :scared:

I'm trying to turn my trauma into a life-affirming event. I'm campaigning for legislation allowing grocery stores to decide whether or not they'll sell eggs, and to whom. I'm also trying to get a constitutional amendement requiring a 24 hours waiting period before ordering eggs and to stop minors from eating eggs without parental notification. It's my way of giving back to the hens from whom I've taken so much.

8. Heh -- I once got thrown out of a grocery story

For exclaiming very loudly and gesticulating wildly towards the eggs in the dairy aisle, "Abortions! Hundreds and hundreds of abortions! Are you people all barbarians? For christ's sake, won't someone think of the unborn!?"

My friends pretended to not know me too.

Jeez, some people just don't appreciate performance art. :eyes: :evilgrin:

9. Did it make you a straight man?

:shrug:

[arwalden]

11. I Don't Know Yet... But

... I've been farting and scratching and belching in public. I do have a strange urge to sit out on the front porch in my tee-shirt and to go get drunk and cuss and chew tobacco... I'm thinking about a visit to the local titty-bar... but I don't know if I'm really straight.

12. Looks like Corpus Domini

[dolo amber]

16. Oh no!! It made you a redneck!!

:o

[BurtWorm]

13. How do you know it wasn't a swastika?

In either case, you could still call it the Pope-tato.

I'm kidding! Just kidding!

14. It beats the Diet of Wurms, I guess... n/t

[The Donkey]

17. There it is!!!

And here I was looking in Massachusetts

18. I have some holy water to go with your potato

I'm only asking $20.00 an ounce. It is water with the hell boiled out of it!!!! So what do you think? Maybe we could send it along as a bonus with your potato.

22. 2,000 years ago God altered certain potatoes to replicate Jesus's lastdays

Many people aren't aware of the ancient lore that has recently been proven scientifically to be true.

See Jesus's supporters dug a tunnel from where the cross Jesus was on (how they found this out is the subject of much theological discussion) was GOING to be to another cross. On the second cross the early still unorganized, for the most part, Christians were going to finish Jesus off themselves and do a dance around the burning cross. Some say it was an adoption of Pagan rituals but many others, especially of the religous right, say that it is a sign from the original Christians of how things should be (definitely not the Catholic way) and religous ceremonies should be carried out.
