Thought of you when I saw a whole metre of Dominosteine in a shop recently...

All I can say is, it's good thing for the monk that he wasn't lactose intolerant...talk about embarrassing.

Particularly one where a monk drinks milk from the breast wound of Jesus on a crucifix that came to life and called to him. This, after an "extraordinary kiss." I still remember our teacher asking if we got that, or if we wanted him to read it aloud to us again. I yelled "Oui!" And nobody laughed but me. Maybe Maria laughed if she was awake? Dunno! My ears perked up for hot mystical encounters every time! Come on, we're being read religious porn, and nobody wants seconds? :)

Marshmallow Knuts! I love this idea! Hey! Now you've got me thinking of Dominosteine! Dominosteine and Marshmallow Knuts. I'm going to have to look around for them now.

Thx for linking me! I'm absolutely flattered! ;-) Wasn't really aware of the fact that I was the only one laughing in our early morning class. Was I really? For those international readers who do not know the story of Knut, the little polar bear: His mother refused to feed little Knut and his twin brother. The brother died but Knut survived on bottle feeding and created a real mass hysteria in Germany and the surrounding countries. (They even made little marshmallow Knuts...) Now he has grown into a rather chubby teenage polar bear and the hysteria has calmed down. But he has inspired street art nonetheless...
