Christ-like smudge on garage floor fetches $1,500 on eBay
Houston Chronicle ^ | 8/10/07 | (not given)

FOREST, VA. — A smudge of driveway sealant resembling the face of Jesus Christ has fetched more than $1,500 in an online auction.

The family that found the image on its garage floor sold it for $1,525.69 on eBay Wednesday, more than a week after the slab of concrete was put on sale.

"I really never thought I'd get any, to be honest," said Deb Serio, a high school teacher.

"It's fun to see what people say and think about it," said Serio, who has gotten hundreds of messages from around the world.

The family has hired a contractor to remove the section of concrete. The chunk will be turned over to the winner, identified only as "islandoffthecoast."

An active Lutheran, Serio considers the smudge just an odd occurrence — not a sign or miracle.

"There are some people who need this kind of thing to sort of start them on their faith journey. I don't," she said. "That's why I don't mind parting with it."

I prefer a deity that appears on trees or tortillas.

Anyone want to bet that this family won’t get the money but will have to pay Ebay and Paypal fees?

It’s happened before.

I’m sorry, but that is not Jesus but rather Che Guevara.

The shipping cost is going to be fun to see. Probably about as much as the bid itself.

Some folks just have too much time and mi=oney on their hands. If I were the seller, I'd wait until the check cleared before I tore up my floor to remove the slab.

Now I am really mad. I had a Hillary witch image on my toilet seat lid and couldn't sell it in a frame for $9.95.

Description (revised)

MIRACLE HILLARY CLINTON IMAGE APPEARS!

EBAYers, you are bidding on a nice framed photo of the witch Hillary image. It has the potential of being a very nice piece of historical memorabilia. Here is the background.

We all know about the power Hillary has already amassed. She got the Senate to redact 100 pages of the Barrett Report, which would have shown the Clinton abuses of citizens by the IRS. She has compromised the FEC, the judiciary, the Justice Department, and the Senate Ethics Committee in the investigation of her campaign finance fraud and illegal $1.6 million in-kind, hard money donation from Peter F. Paul.

I have been working on the documentary film (HILLARY EXPOSED) about the Paul v Clinton historic civil case coming soon to Los Angeles Superior Court. Oh, you didn't know that she will soon be under oath? You didn't know about the Clinton role in the collapse of Stan Lee Media, a public company? You didn't know about the continuing obstruction of justice? Gee, perhaps that is because the mainstream media Clinton Kool-Aide drinking press has been protecting her from exposure. That, however, cannot last forever. We are announcing the campaign Truth Boating Hillary and will enlist an armada of thousands of bloggers to break the mainstream media blockade protecting her.

People have warned me that Hillary will do absolutely anything to acquire power, and that I had better watch my back in exposing this story. After all, if the public knows about the greatest campaign finance fraud in history, four false FEC reports, the power to compromise the official investigations, the participation in the solicitation of a $1.6 million donation, and a false declaration to the court, perhaps that would do some damage to her.

I hadn't worried too much, even though we know of very bad things happening to people and the threats and intimidation of those who might stand in the way of Clinton power. Thank goodness that the muscle who helped her intimidate women in 1992, Anthony Pellicano, is out of circulation. When the press writes about his troubles in Los Angeles, isn't it funny that Hillary's name never shows up in the press reports?

Three days ago things changed, and I finally became somewhat concerned. Mrs. DFU went to the restroom and began screaming. I ran to see what was wrong but was not in a panic. She usually yells if she sees a spider, and she expects me to take it outside. I prefer doing that than killing it.

Well, much to my utter shock and dismay, there was the horrific image. The unmistakable image of witch Hillary. It would not go away. We blocked some of the light coming from the window. We scrubbed the toilet seat lid with several different chemical products to no avail. But then something strange happened. When I logged off the FreeRepublic website and shut down the computer, the image disappeared. When I went back to FreeRepublic and got back to exposing Hillary, it appeared again. That has continued to be the pattern. It also appeared when I logged onto the hillcap dot org site and the Equal Justice Foundation of America website. On the ejfa dot org site can be seen the trailer for HILLARY EXPOSED. Yes, I apologize for the mental image that creates.

What is happening here? If Art Bell's old friend Father Malaki Martin was still alive, I would contact him to do an exorcism. And Art is now off the air so he can't help. Could George Noory be of help?

Hillary, dear, I do not know how you are projecting this image, but you are not going to scare me off. I will see you in court under oath in Paul v Clinton. In your deposition, you are going to see five hours of candid home video footage of your interaction with Peter Paul. Your "I don't recall" nonsense from your declaration is not going to fly this time. It is about time all of the voters become aware of what you have done.

Oh, by the way, I also want to start a project to show young women voters who are enamored with you that you had Ng Lap Seng in your White House many times and in the residence quarters twice. Who is he? Why, he is the Macau businessman infamous for trafficking in women, including young women. I thought you were against that. He actually laundered over 600K to the DNC through Charlie Trie. We have a very nice photo of you and Bill with your women-trafficking benefactor. Oh, yeah, you are the great defender of women unless, of course, it means getting money into your coffers or attacking the women who can testify about being assaulted by your husband. Shame on you last week for telling a voter in New Hampshire who asked if you believed Juanita Broaddrick's testimony that your husband sexually assaulted her. You actually told K.P. that you did not know who that is. You didn't know Jane Doe No. 5 who testified during the impeachment and whose testimony is sealed in the Ford Building? You are not just a witch. You are a lying witch.

For those who haven't followed the Paul v Clinton lawsuit, joining Hillary under oath will be her husband, daughter, Ed Rendell, Terry McAuliffe, Howard Wolfson, Kelly Craighead, Barbra Streisand and other of the Hollywood elite, and a host of others with first hand knowledge. Chelsea has first hand information that could damage Hillary if Chelsea tells the truth under oath. I guess we are going to discover if perjury is genetic. Come on, Chelsea, do the right thing and break the cycle.

I almost forgot, Hillary. A few months ago I sold your BROOMSTICK ONE on eBay. If you would like to retrieve it, I can get you in touch with the winning bidder.

...Doug from Upland

NOTE: it might not be very clear in the photo here, but when you see the framed image, you know it is Her Thighness. If you want the picture to be darker, I have some other shots. Hey, I'll send you a few extra, and you can decide which one to put in the frame. It will be a nice item at parties. Or, if you work around a group of liberal, clueless, airhead Clinton defenders, it might be fun to hang the photo in your office or cubicle. Upon request, I will sign the item as desired by the winning bidder.
