I had to follow the quotes back…
You said “…sparkly Jesus Crucifixes…”
He said "“Are there any other kind”
You said “…glow in the dark…”
He said (and quoted your glow-in-the-dark comment) “Crucifixes by definition have Jesus on them…” to clarify why he said “any other kind”
I think.
The “Jesus crucifix” comment was me. I thought (oh noes) that a cross without Jesus on it could also be called a crucifix.
Actually I didn’t think, I just assumed. And we all know what that means!
Well there you go, never mind then!
Maybe Skald made the same mistake I made!
Screamed in my neighbor’s driveway by high school age son to his mother on the porch:
“There’s no f’ing money for my beer but there’s always money for your drugs.”
See, I just thought that Skald the Rhymer was making a joking about the magenta glittery loinclothed Jesus, like, “Is there any other kind?”. Like that was the only kind he’d even seen. And I thought it was hilarious. So, thanks for the unintentional set-up and punchline, Skald and Anaamika!
Rhymers do not make jokes. Not now; not in the past; not ever. We are as humorless and somber as fossilized trilobites.
I thought the same thing, and had to read it twice to figure out it was the crucifix he was referring to and not the loincloth.
Also, what is a beartato, please?
When he asked about any other kind, I was not pointing out Jesusy vs non-Jesusy, I was pointing out sparkly vs glow in the darky.
And knowing’s half the battle!
A vaguely potato-shaped bear from the brilliant webcomic here. And here. And oh so many more.
Right- but I think when he asked about “the other kind” he was making the point that all crucifixes are Jesus Crucifixes. So when you came in with the glowy kind, he felt compelled to explain the difference between a cross and crucifix.
Again, I think.
I won’t presume to speak for him, but generally when someone says “Is there any other kind?”, it’s meant as a joke about how the adjective is the best way experience the noun. (Or best adverb to describe the verb.) I assumed that this was the joke he was making.
Man, I hate explaining jokes.
Me too. And it’s not even my joke! It’s the only explanation why he explained the definition of a crucifix, after quoting you, that I could figure out.
Oy. 
OK, I think I see where we went off track here. Anaamika mentioned a Jesus crucifix that was glittery. Skald was serious about the Jesus part. I thought he was joking about the glittery part. I guess when I mentioned the glow in the dark ones, he assumed that I assumed that there are two kinds of crucifixes – those that have Jesus on them, and those that glow in the dark.
Personally, my favorite kind of crucifix has no Jesus, glows in the dark, is shaped like a Star of David, and is grape flavored.
We’re both Jewish. :smack:
Too funny!
You’ll pay for this, Batman. You and the rest of Star City!
I quoted you on the crucifix thing because I was careless. Distracted by work. I meant to be quoting somebody else. I blame the Welsh.
Returning to the thread topic: I was at a wedding a few years back in which the bride wore a normal wedding dress, the groom wore a tuxedo jacket and pants, but no shirt, and the best man wore a baseball cap. When it came time to say the vows, the groom stopped chewing his gum, removed it from his mouth, and stuck it on the paper he had written his vows on.
Also, as I recall, he walked down the aisle to the Dark theme, and at the wedding reception, they danced to the song “Because of You,” having clearly listend to nothing but the lyrics.
There’s at least 4 kinds of crucifixes. I’ve seen both Jesus and non-Jesus bearing crosses, and presumably there would be glowing and non-glowing versions of both. As a child I had a glowing Jesus cross. Actually it was one piece of molded plastic – Jesus was actually a part of the cross rather than attached to it.

I saw what you did there.
Decided that I had misinterpreted you and deleted an misguided post?
