Praise the Lord and pass the grilled cheese

At this moment, the "Virgin Mary In Grilled Cheese", item 5535890757 on eBay, has a bid of $69,107.69. It's a 10-year old grilled cheese sandwich with a likeness of the Virgin Mary miraculously grilled on it. Now mind you, this is no ordinary Virgin and Cheese sandwich. Apparently, Our Lady of the Blessed Sandwich has performed miracles! The woman selling the Sandwich of the Most Blessed Sacrament has won $70,000 from casinos near her house! But that's not all...Our Grilled Cheese of Guadalupe has also resisted mold and decay, while surrounded by secular cotton balls in a non-sanctified Tupperware container. Surely this is the work of Our Sandwich of Perpetual Help!

eBay took the item down yesterday, assuming that the seller was a quack (go figure). They reinstated it today, and the bidding took off. Somebody is actually going to pay over $69,000 for a half of a grilled cheese sandwich! The Sacred Sandwich is being offered by a woman in Fort Lauderdale, but she'll ship it anyplace in the U.S. for $9.95 (add an additional $0.55 for insurance).

This isn't Our Blessed Mother's first trip to sunny Florida. In December of 1996, she visited Clearwater, appearing on the side of a glass building (the former home of Seminole Finance). The building is now owned by Shepherds of Christ Ministries. In March of 2004, some juvenile delinquent smashed the windows, taking out Mary's head. Pilgrims apparently still visit the window to see the Baby Jesus (He remains unmolested on the lower glass panels, visible to those with a good imagination).

Praise the Lord, and pass the grilled cheese!
