And Now You Can Visit the Virgin Mary In Wisconsin

by Riley Waggaman  9:04 am December 24, 2010

Jesus wasn't a dog, but he WAS known for licking his own junk, which is something dogs do, too!

  • Merry Christmas Eve, unless you’re a non-believer, in which case “may Satan have mercy on your tortured soul.” Let’s pray that this year Joseph finds a nice Howard Johnson or something so that he doesn’t have to spend another Christmas trapped in a manure stable with his manipulative teenage bride who cheated on him with God. But if you’re “into” that kind of stuff (cheating virgins giving birth in animal poop sheds), you should definitely visit “a little chapel among the dairy farms” in Wisconsin, one of the few places on Earth where “apparitions of the Virgin Mary have been officially validated by the Roman Catholic Church.” So basically the Virgin Mary is haunting some poor chapel in Real America, according to the Pope. “Catholic leaders described the decree in Wisconsin as a bolt of joy at a trying time for the Catholic church, which is troubled by revelations of sex abuse.” Ha ha, “bolt of joy.” Is that what they’re calling boners now?

I'm just waiting for MTV's reality tv Christmas Special next year – Teem Mom : Bethlehem

walterhwhite December 24, 2010 at 11:05 am

Or "I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant"

Progressiveinga December 24, 2010 at 11:20 am

Or "Virginzillas"?

Actually, he's running as a Republican in the GOP primary:

"The lion-maned McMillan — who's given to lengthy diatribes — says he's registering as a Republican to avoid a Democratic primary."

oh!

fixed.

Negropolis December 24, 2010 at 10:27 pm

By God, I think he's got it. This man is smarter than he let's on.

Wow, maybe the Repubs do have a big tent that is in no way related to their pants.

"I would prefer that they hold off and realize that they've got to look harder and deeper for solutions to this than to just simply escalate their war technology," he said.

Hippies don't know when to shut the fuck up, do they? He then goes on to say he's powerless to stop them from nuking the gay whales, and that he hopes that someone will report on it.

Grab a pen and buy a plane ticket. Jesus.

These writers should visit The Grotto in West Bend, Iowa. Or just get outside New York City more often.

HempDogbane December 24, 2010 at 10:30 am

Bathtub Mary in pretty much every town.

Rotundo_ December 24, 2010 at 11:06 am

Hell, there's one on every front lawn in some towns "up nort". Never understood the phenomenon of the bathtub virgin shrine. At least it isn't a toilet baptismal font…

arihaya December 24, 2010 at 9:14 am

i understand why Virgin Mary visited Wisconsin: she originally planned to visit Minnesota, but after watching Michele Bachmann's crazy rants, she couldn't stand it and stop at Wisconsin

BaldarTFlagass December 24, 2010 at 12:24 pm

Actually, I think she was scheduled to make an appearance before a sellout crowd at the Metrodome in Minneapolis but they could not get the roof fixed in time, even with divine intervention.

Negropolis December 24, 2010 at 10:30 pm

That's right, she was scared away from Minnesota, but went to the state that may have just elected the craziest governor in the entire nation. I mean, Scott Walker makes Jan Brewer look ike Stephen Hawking.

Cheeseheads, you ain't what you used to be.

horsedreamer_1 December 25, 2010 at 1:42 am

For every Gaylord Nelson, there has been a Joe Mc Carthy.

Les Aspin was Clinton's first SECDEF, but Melvin Laird had the same position, under Nixon.

Tommy Thompson, before becoming G-Dub's HHS sec'y, was governor — for 16 years.

Basically, I'm saying, Tom Barrett, a Democrat, from Milwaukee, pulling 46% statewide was a miracle. (& that wasn't just because he crushed in Milwaukee County & Dane County, either.)

ManchuCandidate December 24, 2010 at 9:16 am

Haha. Good one. There are no virgins in Wisconsin.

horsedreamer_1 December 25, 2010 at 1:42 am

Today, we are all Charlie Laine's maidenhead.

FNMA December 24, 2010 at 9:22 am

Teen mom who cheated on him with God?
Bristol?

harry_palmer December 24, 2010 at 9:22 am

She wasn't technically cheating, since it says right in the Bible that God rode in on an ass. But then she got pregnant – a miracle!

WarAndGee December 24, 2010 at 9:24 am

Being there are a lot of cows here, we do have the most animal poop barns per capita so she's in the right place for the second coming. (By coming I meant the Messiah's return, not a clergy's "bolt of joy.")

Barrelhse December 24, 2010 at 10:06 am

Say, you wouldn't be that WarAndGee Harding fellow,would you?

Beowoof December 24, 2010 at 9:24 am

The military does seem intent on shooting stuff that is pretty harmless. The locals here in upstate NY were pretty concerned with the Coast Guard doing live fire exercises on Lake Ontario. There if they missed the targets, fisherman in boats would be in the line of fire. Granted it would most likely be fat republicans in over priced boats catching stocked salmon but the locals did bitch quite a bit.

LocalGirlMakesGoo December 24, 2010 at 9:30 am

Ooh… were they practising for the impending war with Canada?

PresBeeblebrox December 24, 2010 at 3:16 pm

It can be invasion tiem now plaes?

Today (because it's Xmass Eve) we all want to finger-bang Mittens. It does not need to happen in Wisconsin, though that would be a plus.

Zvi_Bleindmeis December 24, 2010 at 9:35 am

Truly, blessed are the cheesemakers.

(I do not refer to all those engaged in the manufacture of dairy products in Wisconsin, but rather all those involved in propagating cheesy displays of mind-numbing sentimentality.)

Plowmon December 24, 2010 at 10:02 am

I don't think it's meant to be taken literally…

ChessieNefercat December 24, 2010 at 10:03 am

Or wearing big foam cheese wedges on their heads? (I live next door in Michigan's UP.) The cheese wedges are a strange sight. I think they have something to do football.

Barrelhse December 24, 2010 at 10:08 am

In a word, Fromunda.

north_of_moscow December 24, 2010 at 9:38 am

The Packers do need a miracle this year.

weejee December 24, 2010 at 10:43 am

Will our Lady of Lombardi do right by them?

Negropolis December 24, 2010 at 10:35 pm

They sure do. My Lions won against them.

horsedreamer_1 December 25, 2010 at 1:43 am

No, no, no: that game was won by the butter-fingers of Kalamazoo's own Greg Jennings & the concussive turf of Ford Field.

The Lions assuredly did not win that game.

Negropolis December 25, 2010 at 3:28 pm

Hey, whatever helps you guys sleep at night. lol

Mahousu December 24, 2010 at 9:42 am

Wisconsin – come for the virgins, stay for the beer!

Or is that, come for the beer, stay for the virgins?

One_who_wanders December 24, 2010 at 10:25 am

Bukkake? Coming for virgins. (Spelling?)

predilectrix December 24, 2010 at 11:48 am

That's a Norwegian Christmas delicacy, isn't it?

Rotundo_ December 24, 2010 at 11:13 am

Come for the beer and cheese, stay and bitch about the weather, and have a brat or ten. Greasy spicy german pork products for all!!!!!11!!!

Negropolis December 24, 2010 at 10:37 pm

Probably the second one, because there aren't any virgins in Wisconsin, but if you drink enough High Lifes you'll start seeing virgins, everywhere.

samsuncle December 24, 2010 at 9:51 am

In the spirit of the season I am hereby regifting a "p" point to each and every Wonketter.
Enjoy!

walterhwhite December 24, 2010 at 11:09 am

Hey, thanks. I don't comment that often, but I went from 40-something to 70-something p-points in a couple of days. Christmas miracle?

UW8316154 December 24, 2010 at 8:00 pm

I attribute the rising p-scores to a new QE2 policy after the great December p-point deflationary spiral.

markface64 December 24, 2010 at 9:52 am

So does this mean baby Jesus cheese logs?

deanbooth December 24, 2010 at 9:58 am

"Jesus was known for licking his own junk" — that explains the 40 days/nights being "tempted by the devil."

Rotundo_ December 24, 2010 at 11:18 am

I call bullshit on that, if he could have done that, he wouldn't have the time to do all the miracle stuff and preaching. Instead there would have been a local legend about "Jesus, the guy that stayed in his parents house licking his junk 'til he starved." instead of dying on the cross.

Lucidamente1 December 24, 2010 at 9:59 am

Our Lady of the Cheese Heads.

Plowmon December 24, 2010 at 10:01 am

Ya just gotta love those Papists, "Ignore the pederasty, HERE'S THE VIRGIN!"

Barrelhse December 24, 2010 at 10:11 am

Kind of explains just WHY she was a virgin.

Steverino247 December 24, 2010 at 10:06 am

Teenage bride? So, the Catholics were into child fucking right from the start then?

If I had one question to ask God, it would be: "Hey, was Mary as good as everybody says she was?"

PublicLuxury December 24, 2010 at 10:06 am

OMG~~~ Wisconsin still has virgins? WTF? I thought that Midwest girls started early, trying to keep warm and such. Obviously the Palins have visited.

PublicLuxury December 24, 2010 at 10:08 am

Laverne and Shirley gone wild.

DonnyKerabotsos December 24, 2010 at 10:09 am

WTF? Joseph had a porn-stashe?

LocalGirlMakesGoo December 24, 2010 at 10:21 am

That's actually John Birch in a still from "Nailin' Palin: A Very Special Xmas"

LocalGirlMakesGoo December 24, 2010 at 10:23 am

Today we are all Xtian porn stars.

PublicLuxury December 24, 2010 at 10:13 am

Why is your everyday average ghost an evil spectre terrorizing good decent people and a spectre of a biblical character a miracle?

FYI: When I speak of spectre I am NOT alluding to Arlen.

DaSandman December 24, 2010 at 10:21 am

The Xmas message from Benny XXXVVVIIII is this: "We'll rape alter boys, you idiots worship this tortilla with the fry marks that vaguely resembles some 12 year old Palin tramp."

PS : Jeebus is a little light this millineum. Pay up you heathen fucks.

exmartinette December 24, 2010 at 10:25 am

Wouldn't you know this place is just outside of Green Bay. As if Packers fans weren't insufferable already.

Angry_Marmot December 24, 2010 at 1:10 pm

Do you hate the Packers because they're socialists, or are you still bitter because of the chicken dance?

exmartinette December 24, 2010 at 6:22 pm

No, I'm a fan of socialist football AND dances with chickens.

It's that whole green and yellow color scheme. It angrys up the blood.

Terry December 24, 2010 at 10:29 am

Merry Christmas, everyone!

tiger_tree December 24, 2010 at 10:34 am

I had to laugh at that Rent Is Too Damn High guy being on the ballot in my voting ward in suburban Syracuse. When I went to vote around 10am this past November, it was nothing but little old white ladies at the voting place.

WunkRocker December 24, 2010 at 10:35 am

Now everyone will want some hot teen poon under the tree. Why did this part never catch on as a March-ish tradition when God was trolling the trailer parks? Oh wait, "Free Will
Baptists" explained.

PsycWench December 24, 2010 at 11:39 am

I dunno, if teenage girls are anything like I remember teenage boys in the sack, I'd give it a pass until they're at least 25. It's the difference between someone making their first piece of (burnt) toast and a nice loaf of ciabatta.

ttommyunger December 24, 2010 at 10:48 am

Baptists, you say! You know why Baptist married couples are prohibited from screwing standing up? Because if anyone were to happen to see them, they might think they were dancing! Ba-da-boom!

weejee December 24, 2010 at 10:52 am

Our Lake Puget Orcas have caught teh ghey? Wow. That helps explain shrinking pod size.

HistoriCat December 25, 2010 at 5:52 pm

Maybe the water was just cold?

petejayhawk December 24, 2010 at 10:59 am

Ah yes, the flowing blond locks of Mary, a poor Middle Eastern woman. Makes perfect sense.

SexySmurf December 24, 2010 at 11:04 am

In Jimmy McMillan's defense rent is too damn high.

neiltheblaze December 24, 2010 at 11:10 am

I wish I could watch William Donahue reading this.

walterhwhite December 24, 2010 at 11:14 am

“It would be devious to say that this was somehow pulled out of the attic to exorcise the problems of the church today,” Father Roten said in a telephone interview. "

Devious, indeed.

DoktorZoom December 24, 2010 at 11:46 am

Is it wise to be celebrating a homeless migrant couple who traveled to a faraway city just so she could drop a baby in its jurisdiction? Jesus tapdancing anchor-baby Christ!

angryclownspawn December 24, 2010 at 12:21 pm

Imma let you finish Bethleham, but Wisconsin has the greatest virgins of all time.

Angry_Marmot December 24, 2010 at 12:52 pm

Or it could be that Jimmy McMillan is the only Democrat with an ounce of strategic mischief in his head. Why not splash his feet around in the Republican's punchbowl?

SudsMcKenzie December 24, 2010 at 1:23 pm

Well, we are already rabid church goers on Sunday.

We just call them "Packer Games".

Their are no atheists in the Sports Bar.

glamourdammerung December 24, 2010 at 1:31 pm

Well, this is the same state that gave us Ed Gein.

imissopus December 24, 2010 at 1:34 pm

And Jeffrey Dahmer. Seriously, what the hell is wrong with Wisconsin?

LionelHutzEsq December 25, 2010 at 3:48 pm

Let’s pray that this year Joseph finds a nice Howard Johnson or something so that he doesn’t have to spend another Christmas trapped in a manure stable with his manipulative teenage bride who cheated on him with God.

Can't you leave Bristol alone at least on Christmas Eve?

Negropolis December 25, 2010 at 10:30 pm

Hey, now. That teenage bridge is one hard ass-worker. Show some respect to the mother of Our Lord & Savior, Tripp Johnston. Praise be to our blond-haired, blue-eyed human-cherubim hybrid overlord.

transfatz December 26, 2010 at 6:50 am

I thought a bolt of joy was a double shot of barrel proof bourbon.

spinozasgod December 27, 2010 at 10:26 am

The virgin Mary appeared as a blond…….that didn't send up any red flags?….
