Why?
Because it’s time once again to randomly choose a photo from our collection of decades-old unclaimed and unidentified photos in The Box here at Siuslaw News.
Before I reveal this week’s photo, I must admit I was shocked that an image of its importance and religious significance had been sitting in The Box for the last 20 to 30 years. I called The Vatican and was told a special team of trained investigators would be dispatched to verify the authenticity of this photo, just as soon as they were done disproving claims that Sean “Puffy” Combs is a deity. “Given that he is the only one to make these claims, it shouldn’t take long,” said the Vatican representative I spoke with.
In the meantime, until the Vatican team arrives, I am offering this photo as evidence of what I’m convinced is the first-ever photo bomb by Jesus…

I heard about this. They say He walked across the typing pool. Thanks, I’m here all week. Not really. I have to work.
Lol! Wait, you’re not with The Vatican are you?!
That guy shows up everywhere.
Geraldo?
I dont know how that got *in the box*….but…yeah…thats me, Mary Magdeline in the middle. Thanks alot Ned. Presuming I am in white and Jesus has a staff….I assume I should *sin no more*…
I thought I recognized you from that TV show, Magdeline In the Middle.”
no, I like to switch up…if you know what I mean.
Jesus’ staff sure is a long one…
I wouldn’t touch that with a 10-foot… Well, you know.
staff…Ned. Staff.
Well, obviously it’s a staff photo.
Thanks for fielding that one, Ross.
You mean all y’all aren’t dancing round a pole?
After 5:30. Ned’s place.
Good thinking, not putting an a.m. or p.m. in that…
I’ll bring appetizers
Not until May.
poles ususally stand better on their own when isnt so cold. May will do.
But you’re still bringing the appetizers, right?
MM will bring food for the soul….
You mean chicken soup? As long as there’s dumplings…
I said SOUL..Fool.
I like soul food, so bring it on. But I’m making dumplings anyway, just in case.
swwt potato biscuits?
You started it with the chicken soup, which made me think of dumplings. Now I can’t get them out of my mind. The dumplings I mean…
I said soul. You said chicken soup.
they come only by two…..the dumplings I mean…
You’re right; it’s my problem. I think I need to work on my fixation with warm, plump dumplings.
…I’ll let Anderson know he can not partake of the soup….nor the pole dancing. This wont be easy….
Be gentle with him; I hear he cries easily.
…can I at leastinvite him to your pole dance?
As I said, he cries easily, so it may not be a good idea.
………are you saying your dumplins are bigger than his?
I don’t think that’s a fair comparison. For him, I mean.
…I hope it doesnt rain. May that is…
You’ll be hearing from Pope Frank soon, I expect. J is supposed to be in the witness protection program.
I’m expecting it. Obviously someone dropped the ball. Or tablet.
Hahahaha – Jesus photo bomb – awesome!
I hear He’s a good sport. If not, I’m sure I will know soon…
I suspected all along Jesus hung out with the avant garde, thespian crowd.
I’m pretty sure that was in the Bible.
I am so glad you’re out there. You make me laugh.
It’s not the first time I’ve been called “out there.” 😉 And I’m glad I can give you a laugh or two.
Sacrilege! LMAO! That’s not Jesus! That’s Moses!
Ooops. I will shut up now. 😉
That’s what I thought until I saw Mary Magdoline in the middle (not the TV show).
Have I ever complimented you on your mad photoshopping skills?
I am hoping that’s how the conversation will begin if I reach the Pearly Gates…
I’ve heard about this. Jesus, the Missing Years (Prine, John. Awesomeness Personified, 19–.) I believe this one dates to right around the time he left Chicago.
I hope this becomes a meme. Unless there are eternal consequences for hoping that.
LOL! Which raises the question: Does Jesus get frequent flier miles?
(And yes, I’m pretty sure there will be consequences involved)
Was it Jesus that said “Walk softly and carry a big stick”? He used that stick well. There are some versions of the Bible that still include the verse from the Sermon on the Mount “Blessed are the peacemakers (clonk) for they shall see stars. Now pay attention next time, you in the front row”.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA (clonk) Hey!
You need to release this picture nationally – it would turn your office into a shrine…. or something
We already have enough kooky folks showing up here uninvited.
that guy who always hangs out on the fringe and follows the popular crowd around, you just can’t shake him…
That’s how I spent most of my high school years.
What is that critter? A beaver?
So I’m told, but I’m a little suspicious. Then again, I can’t get close enough to be sure.
Jesus wore a cape? I knew it. That’s the source of the alleged superpowers. THE CAPE.
It’s always the cape. My son got socks with little capes on them and he swears he runs faster.
We should do a scientific study. I’m sure there’s a correlation.
I will apply for a grant immediately 😉
Hahahaha wait, are you sure Jesus carried a stick? Maybe that’s his earth-dad. Let me check my nativity set and get back to you.
Let me know what you find. We could be on to something really big. Kind of like The DiVinci Code, except with better hair.
Hahaha!
At least this is more dignified than showing up on a piece of toast!
Just another reason I stick with Jewish rye whenever possible.
Lol…well played!
*stands and bows*
*winks*
*nearly farts*
*covers it with laughter that draws stares from newsroom*
You’ve described the size of your cubicle….did you just Dutch Oven yourself?? 😉
LOL! Yes, it’s part of an old Danish recipe.
😀
buaahahahaha! thanks for this!
I’m expecting throngs of people to begin making the pilgrimage. Hopefully it won’t be people in thongs.
