How high will it go?

P.T. Barnum was right. Or was it con-man Joseph ("Paper Collar" Joe) Bessimer?

Nonetheless, we're gonna' see another one.

My guess: $15,000 (There's a lot of "free advertizing" going on out there.) Maybe $25,000 if Leno picks up on it.

...there were some posters that became popular where you had to let your eyes unfocus while looking at it to see the image behind the dots. Is that what this guy did with the pancake? I don't see anything in it at all...

I let my eyes unfocus...

I can see where certain contours might become a face...

But if that's supposed to be Jesus... Looks more like a stoned cartoon character. And I don't mean the bible kind of stoned...

your coffee this morning that let you see that? :)

I can see a face in the pancake; however, it looks as if it was placed there intentionally.

It looks as much like a pancake eating a pancake that looks like Pacman eating a pancake as it does Pacman eating a horse. ?:|

Well, hell...I first posted that I wanted to see a Muhammad pancake. Then I read the previous posts here. I should have read the other posts first because a few other wise guys beat me to the Muhammad reference. Damn!

I didn't see Jesus in the spaghetti billboard that was in Atlanta about a decade back either...

I sent the original Jesus pancake guy an email:

"There's TWO Jesus pancakes on ebay. Which one is the original and authentic Jesus pancake? Which one should I bid on? The pictures are the same?"

Let's see what he says.

That holy piece of breakfast cuisine mustn't be eaten. It must be preserved in a sealed glass case filled with helium, or argon, or anything but oxygen. It's holy you know. :D

a potato that looked just like my Aunt Hen. But since she isn't famous, we baked it and ate it.

by m_a_r_k

Mae, your aunt was a chicken and she wasn't famous?? Hell, the whole family should be famous.

by maecuff

Hen is short for Henrietta. Of course, Uncle Goatboy is a whole different story.

by maxwell edison

..... Uncle Rooster, no doubt. And I suppose your Cousin Chick joined you, who is, of course, as skinny as a string bean! Did anyone else roll in?

(I won't even guess what was for dessert.)

that has anything to do with sheep, you had better hide them until MARK leaves..... :O

by m_a_r_k

that are males, you better hide them until jd leaves. ESPECIALLY if they are seamen. jd, do you crave only seamen or just semen in general?

in "Pancake Art and Sculpture". The cost is very reasonable at ?500 which will include materials - eggs, flour and milk.

I am also running a Postgraduate Diploma in "Making Religious Icon Waffles for Profit" at ?1,000 which course also includes a free introductory beginner's module on "The Tortilla and How to Fake the Virgin Mary".

I am offering a 25% discount for all TR peers.

You want the US franchise?

I was refering to the addition in the guy's decsription that added the message "make your own Jesus pancake" and a link to a site that sold skillets with an image of Jesus on it. It was a different image than the one in the ebay pancake, but ebay doesn't allow linking to an outside site to sell things. It was there for about an hour before ebay pulled it. I guess I just checked the status at the right time.
