strangeanimal... go figure, LJ ate my post the first time I tried to post it a few minutes ago. given the content, I can only assume higher powers occasionally intervene by smiting LJ posts that offend them.
that being said... yesterday, Roxanne and I had brunch with her MOH, her husband and their 2-1/2 year old who is one of the cutest things on the planet.
they're Irish and Catholic, so they have your usual variety of religious tchotchkes (yes, Catholic tchotchkes. deal with it.)... including a crucifix where Jesus had, um, fallen off. as you can imagine, tons of sacreligious humor ensued.
because, what does one *do* with a crucifix where Jesus has come loose from the cross, anyway? nailing him back to the cross seems appropriate on one hand, but then again, I'd rather not stop and think "hey wait a sec, am I actually doing what I think I'm doing?"
for the record, their temporary solution? Scotch tape. if the stuff has any religious significance, it's lost on me.

I woulda gone with super glue, myself. And here's a question--if he loses a limb while bouncing off the floor, do you just leave it that way, kind of give him the Venus look? Or would that be blasphemous?
