If we had banned baseball bats this never would have happened.
We have only our selves to blame.

Guns? We don't need no stinkin' gins!!!!!!!

I thought for a moment it might be a statue of St. Joseph and she was mad because her house hadn't sold.

[asianthree]

St Joseph made her do it because so many bury him upside down

Baseball bats don't kill statues... people do! The only answer to a bad person with a baseball bat is a good person with a baseball bat!

(oops! sorry, moderator...)

[Virtual Geezer]

She was shown on one of the local tv channels and was rambling on and on. Defiantly not all together.

How about this evening on Fox 35 in the crawl at the bottom of the screen they had a short blip about a landscaper in TV being arrested for grand theft and something else (maybe breaking and entering or forced entry). I just checked the web site and of course it is a few days behind except for the major stories.

GG-Person..I don't get the joke..Maybe you can 'splain.

I can... this has been around a long time. If you bury a statue of St. John upside in your yard, your house will sell fast. It's worked for us. Also, one time we when we wanted to sell a sailboat, we buried a statue of St John upside-down in a pot in the dock box at the marina slip. That worked too!

[chuckinca]

Wonder where my sister in law is ?

We don't need to ban baseball bats. We just need to have a 7 day waiting period before we are allowed to buy them. We should also consider baseball bat education seminars before people are allowed to buy a baseball bat,

:boom: That is so bad. :1rotfl:

Well, at least baseball bats are finally back where they belong...on airplane flights.

And no selling of baseball bats over the internet. Or used baseball bats sold privately--a no-no!

I think the St John statue is what you plant upside down in a flower pot and put on top of your toilet tank when your Citrucel isn't doing it's job! :22yikes:

Thanks, I meant St Joseph. Also, you must dig him up after the sale, or bad karma on you.

Thanks Skyguy, I needed this laugh tonight! St Joseph worked for us! The problem is i forgot to dig the little bugger up and bring him with us to TV! Not sure what dire fate that will bring upon us!

I recently emailed that little St Joseph trick to a friend in NC who is desperate to sell her home! She emailed me back and asked if she should get adult or children's! :1rotfl:

[skyguy79]

Thanks, I meant St Joseph. Also, you must dig him up after the sale, or bad karma on you.The St. Joseph statue worked for us when we sold 3 homes ago in 2009. Afterward we went back and neither of us could find the statue where we buried it. However, mostly good has befallen us ever since then, but that might be because St. Joseph is my patron saint and he's looking out for me. If so, I thank him as he's done a good job of it.

BTW, they say that if you don't like your neighbor you can bury the statue facing their house and their house will sell. Before we sold in 2009, I was tempted to do that to my neighbor directly across the street. He was a butinsky and a general PIA! :1rotfl:

Only a good person with a baseball bst can stop s bad person with a baseball bat.

[graciegirl]

At golf yesterday we were discussing it and wondering how she and St. Michael had a falling out. I am not sure what St. Michael does. I remember that prayer, St. Michael the archangel, defend us in this day of battle......

I got up real early this morning to get my TOTV fix before my day started and this thread is hilarious ........... great sense of humor everyone - thank you.

I bet there is an interesting back story, perhaps we'll read about it in the local newspaper? :boxing2:

Yes, baseball bats, and I'm so relieved we can now take small knives on board. :ohdear:

This is obviously off topic, but very interesting. If anyone hears any details about this landscaper, please let us know.

Good grief! It says here she beheaded the statue. Ouch!!!! Homeless woman used baseball bat to behead church statue, Lady Lake police say | News - Home (http://tinyurl.com/ahfe7au)

That's because it was a metal bat. We should only allow wooden bats under a certain weight to be sold to private citizens. Why would anyone need a metal bat?

[DaleMN]

Dark humor or poor taste?

One too many John Travolta movies???

I am so going to do the St. Joseph thing in a month or so when we list. I hope it works for us :pray:

We should limit the number of swings to one in baseball.

Kind of. :)

[Portia]

we buried one and we sold our house in one day to the first person who came through..so there has to be somthing to it..

[CFrance]

I buried him upside down at our condo last summer when we put it on the market. But then we took it off the market after a month. I forgot to dig up St. Joe. Wonder if I should do that and rebury him this summer when we put the house back on the market?

St. Micheal the Archangel defeated Lucifer and his followers amoung the angels and cast them into Hell. We pray to him to drive the evil spirits back into Hell. Before the NovusOrdo, the St. Micheal prayer was prayed at the end of every low Mass. Once removed with the new Mass, the World has gone down and evil seems to be running wild. Some Churches up here still pray the St. Micheal Prayer at the end of Mass.

No matter what, he is still an archangel and our pretty statue of him at St. Timothys is kind of caput. It is just a thing. Not a person.

Statues aren't the real deal and that may be what angered her or some kind of idea like that.

The red cans at the entrances of St. Timothy's that were there to collect money for the poor were stolen last week.

Again Father Ed said, "They need our prayers". He is a good person.

And we have to remember that many homeless are mentally ill persons who were left with nowhere to go after state mental institutions were closed. Just sayin'.

She may have had in issue with St Timothy because she isn't mentally stable.

I am sure you are right. And I hope that none of the joking from me anyway, is considered disrespectful to her.

Oh, I didn't think that. Most of the joking was about the beheaded saint! Poor guy.

[redwitch]

Considering how many saints were literally beheaded, seems like an appropriate end to a saint's statue.

Ha! So true. There is a statue of a saint in a park in Montmartre who is carrying his head. Creepy. Saint Denis, first bishop of Paris, was sentenced to death by pagan priests for spreading too much Catholicism.

According to the legend, once decapitated, he stood up, picked up his severed head from the dirt and walked 6 km to the North, preaching a sermon the entire way. Amazingly, he even stopped to rinse his head off along the way.

I wonder if he gave himself a drink of water.

SMI (Serious mental illness)

"Most people with SMI are not violent, and most violent acts are not committed by people with SMI. In fact, people with SMI are actually at higher risk of being victims of violence than perpetrators. Teplin et al found that those with SMI are 11 times more likely to be victims of violent crime than the general population."
