14 hrs 15 mins remaining… w/favorite comment and also, happy easter!
have you seen this?
these are for sale on ebay. it is obvious what they are: fishsticks, frozen in the shape of three crosses. this is significant because fishsticks don’t come like that, frozen in the shape of a cross. and there are three of them! also, it is good friday in two days. the bidding should wrap up in time to get them by then. if you find this inspirational, go to ebay and search for: Good Friday Miracle Fish Sticks. i have copied the correspondence section from the ebay auction page that contains questions directed to the seller from the bidders and the answers from the seller regarding the miraculous fish. it follows here:
“Item Specifics – Item Condition
Condition:
NewEBAY removed our first listing because high perceived shipping costs. We have adjusted the starting price to reflect the cost of next day shipping in 5 lbs of dry ice.
Up for auction just in time for the Holy Days, a COMPLETE set of Good Friday Miracle Fish Sticks.
It’s not unusual to find a couple of fish sticks stuck together in each box. But imagine my shock when I poured out the contents of my Super Walmart brand fish sticks to feed my horde of “rhythm method” spaced offspring. I didn’t find just one or two stuck together in any haphazard way. There were 3 sets of 2. And what was unusual was that they formed an almost perfect replication of the hill at Calvary on Good Friday.It was all I could do to keep the Catholic schoolgirl in me from falling to my knees and making the sign of the cross.
I have been praying for a long time for a new van. Maybe that’s why God sent me these fish sticks.
Winning bidder will receive the complete set of Good Friday Miracle Fish Sticks in their original packaging (minus the other fish sticks my hungry children consumed). I will pack in dry ice in a Styrofoam cooler and ship the next day.
Free Shipping.
You have no business being such a liar and a scam artist. I am ashamed to be from the same hometown. THANK GOD I don’t live there anymore. May HE have pity on your soul.ladygrace23,
Grace…
He already did. He had SO much pity He sent his Son to die for me. And I believe He can appreciate a good sense of humor. Sorry you aren’t living up to your name.- kjlandis
Dear kjlandis,
HI! just want to let people know, Its not a scam, i just saw the news and its all true, the lady is trying to get a van because her family needs transportation, this is not even close to a scam. On the news they even showed how they bought a couple of packs and no fish sticks came out that way. Dont listen to the people that say its fake, i do believe they are very special. good luck on your sale, i think it will turn out well.
GOOD LUCK! GOD BLESS YOU!P.S. i saw you on tv
- ihor14Thank you for your encouragement. 1 Thessalonians 5:11
”Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.”-kjlandis
Does this auction include the Holy Tartar Sauce as well? atomicceo,
Sorry, no. That was already auctioned off with a fish stick with the image of Jesus on it, wasn’t it?
- kjlandis
I have irritable bowel syndrome. Do you think if I swallowed these whole they might jam sideways in my colon and afford me some degree of control? polksalet123,
The miracle working properties of the fish sticks have yet to be determined.
- kjlandis
Do you find it odd that Jesus and the Gorton’s fisherman look alike?- scottkeene
He looks a lot more like my dad.
- kjlandis
If I stir these fish sticks in water will it turn into wine? Money well
spent if it does.- ccgadmanTo my knowledge, these fish sticks have no wine making capabilities.
- kjlandis
Are they Kosher?- polemicpaul
Seeing that they are in my freezer next to my Easter Sausage, even if they were kosher going in I doubt they are now.
But the bible says…”Of all the creatures living in the water of the seas and the streams, you may eat any that have fins and scales” Leviticus 11:9- kjlandis
I’m not Catholic, can I bid on them anyway? Also, since I’m not, and say I win, I won’t experience bad luck or anything for stepping across some kinda sacramental line or something will I?- dhudie
Bidding on these fish sticks is open to all, and will definitely not bring you any bad luck!
- kjlandis
Do they come with a certificate of authenticity, the original box and cash register reciept, or anything? How do I know you didn’t just hot melt glue them together in an art class or something?- dhudie
There is no certification or receipt. They are still in the original packaging, less the other (eaten) fish sticks that came in the box of course. And if I glued them together, why would I ship them in dry ice?
- kjlandis
I’d like enough fish and wine for about 5000 people. How many boxes before you have it? Also, what if I don’t have it by Good Friday? That would be bad if I didn’t. Not good at all.- colemolefootball
There are 6 fish sticks to a serving and 7 servings per box. Our calculations show that it would take 715 boxes of fish sticks to feed 5000 people.
And we aren’t licensed to sell alcohol.
- kjlandis
I am not pious enough to own this. Do you have any upside down crosses like the one Saint Peter died on?-cshade0506,
Sorry. This auction contains my entire inventory of fish stick crosses. Your humility is admirable.

not something i myself would bid on, but i hope this lady gets her van. and one day i’m going to post your “favorite comment,” just not today.
hilarious!
I can’t believe I am the 2nd person commenting!! That never happens!!
I might bid on the crucifish!
God bless

YES! I was beginning to think I was the only one with irritable bowel syndrome.
fish sticks make me think of beats because we would always eat them together when i was little. i’m pretty sure beats are the most ungodly vegetable there is. think about it–how many parents lied to their kids when they gave them beats and said they tasted like candy?
ok, maybe just mine. still though, i’m missing out on the miracle here because my parents made me eat my vegetables as a child.
“are they kosher?” is definitely the best comment out of all of them. and second prize goes to “do you have any upside-down fish-stick-crosses?”
(if i do say so myself)
Wow
I’m pretty sure Jesus would stay far away from Walmart.
You know I never like people who sell toast or corn flakes in “the shape of Jesus oh my goodness!”
But the way she handled all those questions was just priceless. And now I want fish sticks. And some macaroni and cheese.
Craving fish sticks now…
this is either a neat joke or a genius marketing scheme.
THAT is hilarious! lol I love how serious or sarcastic ppl get over it. They’re just fish sticks! haha I love it.
I am
Sarah
wow.
Awesome. I wonder if they will be raised from the dead on Easter…
I think she was totally right about lady grace. I know many people who act like her and it drives me nuts.
i would buy the fish-sticks.
Cute.
Nice to see that the seller has such a nice sense of humor about this.
how do you know that it’s time to do a concert in Fresno? when you have time to search for “holy fishsticks” on ebay.
It took me fifteen minutes to realize that it wasn’t you selling the fishsticks. *wipes forehead*
I was about to question your sanity/sincerity/sanitary. (Okay… so that last word doesn’t go. But I have a special passion for alliterations and would have died if I couldn’t achieve on in this post. Alliterations are as holy as fishsticks.)
Wow… That is amazing….
Hey.. .God does some maricles, and then He does weird stuf.. Like this… Just because…
Maybe He’s bored… Maybe we need to pray for maricles more so that He won’t get bored enough to play around with fishsticks…
lol
how odd, but I hope she gets her van… it appears she already has a sense of humor
i just realized, hours later, that i misspelled “beets.” yeah, i go to college…
I used to be Catholic but I gave it up for Lent.
my first thought – FREAKING HILARIOUS!!!
my second thought – what were looking for on ebay in the first place?
my third thought – this person is very good-humored re: Q&A section
Does this auction include the Holy Tartar Sauce as well?
-atomicceo
Sorry, no. That was already auctioned off with a fish stick with the image of Jesus on it, wasn’t it?
- kjlandis
my favorite little comment exchange
they only sold for $78. that ain’t gonna buy no van.
I saw the picture and thought they looked like guns. hahaha!
Made my day!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow. The oddest parts is in some cases, I’m not sure if they’re being serious or more tongue-in-cheek…
mmmmm…holy fish sticks…..arrgggggg(drooling)..must buy it now!
God bless,
~Scott
this is funny, but i think real proof that God has a sense of humor is the platypus…
I once had a piece of giardiniera that strongly resembled the moon.
Also, I would suggest that according to biblical documentation, one would not need 715 boxes of fishsticks to feed 5000. In fact, the six fish sticks and a couple pieces of wheat bread would likely be more than enough….especially since they are already displaying miraculous components.
You bid on these, didn’t you?
Also, sorry about Baylor’s loss, that kinda stinks. Who are you going to root for now?
I liked the fish sticks story, but mostly just wanted to say
BOILER UP!!! HAIL PURDUE!!!!
Sorry about the game today . . . kinda. I’m glad to see my good ole boilers advance though. Hope you weren’t too sad.
like, what the hell
mmm yummilicious.
and yet again i am amazed at the power of the internet to bring people together. or to spread odd stories.
those might be tasty for a good friday fish fry…
there more for sale now hehhee

But can they feed 5000 people?
Sic ‘em. Oh wait.
I’ve heard rumors on K love or something, that someone has discovered a leaf that is mysteriously in the shape of David Crowder’s face…..With the goatee!
I found a 3 million year old Mammoth fossil skeleton complete with everything except tusks on Ebay today for the mere amount of $115,000.00, and you pick it up yourself.
Wait for it.
Wait for it.
There it is.
Yep.
My conversion to Buddhism is complete.
dear @denahs, - please don’t blame the fishsticks. give us one more chance, just one more. i promise, we won’t sell anything else on ebay, unless it is really really miraculous. like have you seen these collapsible cups?
http://www.highsmith.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Production/Search.jsp?category=800426&A=45581&NSave=2105&Au=CategoryId&catalogId=11002&An=2105&langId=-1&NttSave=45581&storeId=10001
yeah, those we might sell, but i think it’s clear that they are the genuine article. and also, if you’re buddhist you can’t use them as per siddhartha gautama’s specific instruction.
fishsticks taste bad.
haha. that is pretty cool, DCB.
i missed the auction….ah fish sticks….wait…or is it fiddle sticks?…..or are both ‘fish sticks’ and ‘fiddle sticks’ generally accepted expressions?
my favorite line: “are they kosher?”
Happy Easter to you and yours!!
i just had to say, something you wrote in “Ev’rybody Wants to Go to Heaven” has been on repeat in my head for the last two days…
you wrote that Easter is the only time we stand in our churches and sing in the face of death and i’d never thought about it that way, but you’re right. being my first Easter without my Josh, i thought it’d be hard, but those words keep running through my head and then the words from “We Win!” start in and i just feel an overwhelming peace that it’s not the end and that i’m going to see him again.
so yeah, long story short, thanks, happy Easter, and don’t eat too many chocolate bunnies!!
Happy Easter! I feel your pain with Baylor’s loss.. UConn lost in its first round too. =(
now EVERYONE is going to try really hard to be funny and witty just so that you will edit you entry to quote them.

Someone actually is paying $78 for fishsticks?
I do rather like some of her comments. I did kind of laugh when I saw this response, though. I do doubt she hot glued them (will that even work with fishsticks?) I can think of a very obvious reason to ship them with dry ice. Ever smell a rotten fishstick?
“There is no certification or receipt. They are still in the original packaging, less the other (eaten) fish sticks that came in the box of course. And if I glued them together, why would I ship them in dry ice?
- kjlandis”
And I have to admit one of my first thoughts was also, “What were you looking for on e-bay that brought up fishsticks?” LOL
I’ve gotten behind on your posts lately. I went back and read a few, and I have to say that my favorite word you used was impetus.
Seriously, it made my day.
No wait, Jesus rising made my day. But that helped.
You know what I’d do if I found three fishsticks frozen in the shape of crosses in my bag?
I’d say ‘Hey, that’s kinda cool!’ right before I broke them apart, arranged them on a tray, cooked them and ate them with ketchup.
Actually, I lie. I’d say ‘Holy Frozen Fishsticks, Batman’, THEN I’d break/arrange/cook/eat them.
My bad.
An Illinois-shaped corn flake sold for $1350… you’d think they could have gotten more for the fish sticks!

Another try at the link for the Illinois-shaped corn flake !
I’ve alwayz wondered if u can hear the audience with that ear piece you wear during concerts???
okay dave, here’s the deal. i don’t understand half of what you usually blog about. stop going noam chomsky on us, fella.
I don’t know David, this just seems fishy.
This has just nothing to do with this post, but as the resident of the Dr. Pepper house, you may be interested in this little development.

@SweetTartMayra - i can hear the audience with my earpiece. i often pull out one so i can hear them even better.
how odd, but I hope she gets her van… it appears she already has a sense of humor
