My sisters and I all went to Catholic school. I buy the Nun-zilla and boxing-nun type stuff as stocking stuffers every year, if I see one that is amusing.

Not to dismiss prejudice against Catholics, but Catholics are probably the biggest customers of this sort of thing.

BTW- The other day I saw a boxing-rabbi for sale. The nun could probably take him 2 out of 3 rounds.

See post 8.

Ever get one of those glow-in-the-dark St Michael statues? I had one by my bed when I was a kid.

Oh I agree. Geesh we used make fun of the nuns when I was at Ursuline Acadamy. And every year when it was time to sign yearbooks (Catholic yearbooks always have a picture of the current pope in them ) somebody would sign for the pope. One of my year books had the inscription, "Dear Theresa: Love ya, signed Johnny" by a picture of Pope John the XXIII. And I always liked Father Guido Sarducci on SNL. (Sometimes he got a little too nasty but generally he was funny.) I loved his "find the Pope in the pizza" bit. Who was that singer comedian who sang that song the Vatican Rag?:

Line up in that big processional.
Get into that small confessional.
Bow your head with deep respect.
And genuflect,genuflect,genuflect!!

I loved that!!

Thanks for my first laugh of the evening.

Does my "I Survived Catholic School" bumper sticker count as self-abuse then? :-)
