Holy Week: Jesus Shows His Comic Side

It’s Holy Week folks, and just five meatless days to go.

Holy Week has always been a bit of mystery to me.

During the Triduum, which runs from Thursday evening to vespers on Easter Sunday...


We have all Hell breaking loose.

The Last Supper…Christ Gettin’ Nailed…The First Round of the NCAA Tournament…Oh, and then the Resurrection.

WTF?


Hayzoos arrived in Jerusalem on Sunday. Are you telling me nothing happened on Monday through Wednesday?

Of course things happened, and I know exactly what went down…

Mack Daddy J and his 13 Apostles, along with that minx, Mary Magdalene, partied their holy asses off.

They rented the Bar Mitzvah reception hall near the Garden of Gesetheme.

Once inside and set-up with mirrors and a giant disco ball, they planned the mass intoxication of civilization, while having an immoral free for all.

The 13 Apostles played poker. JC and Mary played escaped slave and the owner’s wife.

All the while, they all sucked back mass amounts Mogen and David wine from a bottle that JC kept refilling.

Pathetic…Until you think about the fact that Messiah-Boy was merely throwing one helluva pre-crucifixion wake.

When they got hungry they would order pizza from Little Caesar’s.


They would get the Goliath Super Deluxe, hold the anchovies.

Jeebus hated anchovies. He would always say, “No anchovies, please.”


Thus, years later, The J. Geils Band would write a song based on that quote.

The quote itself, appears in a series of writings that never made their way into the Bible. It’s from a text called, The Book of Menus.

One time, one of the Apostles, Rick of Tyre, slid a piece of the hairy fish onto Jeebus’ slice of pizza.

J-Mac was so pissed that he turned Rick into a tiny piece of primordial dung.

Centuries later, that piece of dung would form itself into whom we now know as Bill O’Reilly.

This explains why we only recognize 12 Apostles, and why Bill O’Reilly is such a major league asshole.

JC was also a big joke teller and prankster.

He loved taking his posse down to the local Tobacco and Hookah Shoppe.

Jeebus, would ask the tobacco merchant, “Do you have King Herod in a can?”

Ha…Everyone would burst out into a chorus of Holy laughter. JC was a regular Shecky Greene.

There is much more to this story of Holy Tom-Foolery, but alas, that must wait until tomorrow.

Have a great Holy Week Tuesday.

Cheers!!

When will you be e-publishing The Book of Menus? I'm thinking sales might be as good as they are for your Bagwine apparel!

Liz Hill said...

I always love how spastic you get nearing the end of your meatlessness. Oh and i am supposed to say Big Buford aches for you.

Schmoop said...

Dana: It has possibilities. And my sales of Bagwine stuff are throughthe roof. If your roof is 4 inches above the floor. Cheers!!

TB: I'm dying here. Big Buford is a great burger, and oddly enough, shares the same name as my cell mate during my San Quentin years. Cheers!!

Lu' said...

There is something about the name Jeebus that cracks me up every time!

Schmoop said...

Lu: Me too. I wish I could take credit for its origins, alas it's been around for awhile. Cheers!!

Schmoop said...

Leelee: Of course I meant that in a "my tongue in your cheek way." Have a great time. Cheers!!

Leighann said...

mirrors and a giant disco ball

It must have been all the "OH MY GAWD's" that attracted them to my bedroom!

Schmoop said...

Leighann: I don't think it was your bedroom. These mirrors were on the walls, not the ceiling. Cheers!!

leelee said...

;-)

Lex Valentine said...

King Herod in a can? OMG. You know way, way, too much about the bible. LMAO

Schmoop said...

Leelee: ; )

Winter: Well what's not to like? Ya got animal sacrifice, incest, hookers, and violence. It's a fun read. Cheers!!

Jay said...

If the J-Man was so great why would he allow somebody like Bill O'Reilly to exist?

katherine. said...

ah....The Book of Menus. you are dreaming night and day of meat aren't ya Mateo?

your interpretaion of the gospel never ceases to crack me up...I quote you all the time.

Schmoop said...

Jay: Because J-Man and G-Dawg both have a twisted and sardonic sense of humor. They are some funny Mo-Foes. Cheers!!

Schmoop said...

Kat: Ha. Thanks. Oh, Holy Week gets better.

I have more historical insight to pass on tomorrow. Cheers Kat!!

Ed & Jeanne said...

Hah. I love learning me religous history from here. But did you have to throw in a pic of Bill O'Reilly during St. Patricks hangover Tuesday? He looks like Bill O'Rolly to me. What's he keep in that chin bag? Satan?

Desert Songbird said...

I wait in joyful hope for the remainder of your Holy Week lessons.

Ginormous Boobs said...

I can hardly wait for the rest of the week - make it come faster!

Schmoop said...

VE: Ha. Chin Bag. Funny. His chin is holding the ego that won't fit atop his big, empty head. Cheers!!

Songbird: Am I sensing some sarcasm dear? Cheers!!

GB: That's the first time that a woman as ever said that to me. Cheers!!

Desert Songbird said...

Sarcasm? FROM ME?! Never. I'm just quoting memorable words from the beloved Catholic liturgy. To illustrate my glee, you know, and to prove how I live a Christ-centered life.

*grin*

Schmoop said...

Songbird: That is so very Christ-Like of you. You, my friend, are the new Mother Teresa. Cheers!!

Desert Songbird said...

Well, I'm the mother of sumpthin' all right. So, Mattsiah, how DO you get the sauce out of the clam????

Schmoop said...

Songbird: Well, me personally, I use my tongue. Cheers!!

Tug said...

Holyhell dude, I'm cracking up here...and I've got to say, it's nice to know that JC had manners - wasn't he in NSync? ;-)

Schmoop said...

Tug: Hiya Tug. Thanks!! I dunno if he was 'N Sync, but I do know that he spent some time 'N Synagogue. Cheers!!

Odat said...

"Dung" O'Reilly is right!!!
Peace

Schmoop said...

Odat: That was probably the most accurate line of the post. Cheers!!

Jeff B said...

I just finished up my own bit of holy preparation...three days of blog fasting!

Good to catch up on your wackiness!

Sandee said...

What's wrong with O'Reilly? You need all the wackos Matt-Man...All of them on both sides of the fence. It just wouldn't be any fun any other way.

I'll be so glad when you get some meat into your system again. What's on the menu? I can't wait to hear about you overdosing on meat. I did that once in my younger years, but that's quite a different story. Have a great day. :)

Schmoop said...

Jeff: Good to see you back. I hope your trip went as well as those things can be. Cheers!!

Sandee: I just said he is an asshole, I would never want Billy's unintentional humor to go away.

Not sure what is on the menu yet. It'll be ugly no matter what. Cheers!!

Leighann said...

How do you know where I keep my mirrors mister??

Schmoop said...

Leighann: Oh c'mon. When you hear the bushes rustling outside your bedroom window, you don't think it's the wind do you? Cheers!!

Mo and The Purries said...

King Herod in a can. You kill me.

Pizza. Pizza.

Schmoop said...

Mo: Oh just you wait Mo. It gets much more blasphemous and juvenile as the week goes on. Cheers!!

Hey Mr Sidewalk Thanksgiving Man : )

So the anchovy hating dude hung out frequently @ the Tobacco & Hookah Shoppe, huh?! I can't even tell you how many times I've wondered this myself! ; ) So thanks for settin us all straight!

Holy heck- U R the frickin funniest guy ever! For reals! I'm seriously addicted to you now, I think! See what you've done to me!? ; 0

Schmoop said...

Smile: Why Thank You Very Much. Your addiction is an example of Divine Intervention. God brought you to me.

BTW, I still have scars from the sidewalk. Cheers!!

Anonymous said...

Matt-Man, you always make me feel so cleansed after I visit. I mean, spiritually, of course.

Jahooni said...

I know the answer to where the terminolgy of Jeebus came from. It was started by the Bees. Or atleast that is what I learned while watching The Bee Movie over the weekend. But when you say it Matt, it just makes me tingle all over.
I think the Holy Week does something to you... it turns you on doesn't it?

Anonymous said...

Wow! Thanks for setting it straight for the world to know Matt-Man.
Those three missing days of Holy Week [always did wonder]

The Last Hookah!

Schmoop said...

Kyra: And who couldn't use a cleansing? Cheers!!

Jahooni: It turns me on more than the mohel when he first saw John Holmes' foreskin. Cheers!!

Micky: There is more to come my friend. Cheers!!

Vinny "Bond" Marini said...

And the Lord said..."Let there be anchovies, because hairy fish is the way to roam"

Put that in a can with a turnkey opener and see what happens

Schmoop said...

Bond: That wasn't too bad at all. You must be feeling better. Cheers!!

The Absurdist said...

Holy shit in a handgrenade.

Schmoop said...

Absurdist: Is that a comment of approval? Cheers!!

Travis Cody said...

So tell me, in this Book of Menus of which you speak...are the Chinese, French, and Italian chapters written in Latin?

Schmoop said...

Travis: Of course...That's where we get Egg Fu Publius and other dishes like Fortune Cookius. Cheers!!

Tequila Mockingbird said...

Schmoop said...

Tequila: I hope so. I love HOT weather. Cheers!!
