As a kid watching JCSS, I used to hold my breath for the whole 39 lashes. I have no idea why; it was just felt like something you would do.
Can I lighten the mood with my annual Good Friday meet me in hell meme?
I really do believe Jesus would find this amusing.
Well if thats the game we’re playing…
Fairy Tails can turn ugly, very suddenly.
Footage from Passion of the Christ, I think…so, it’s bloody…

I was raised Catholic and I’m still not clear on why someone had to get tortured to death to open up the gates of heaven. If God wanted to let people in then who was stopping Him?
Your missing a few, I count around 34.
Clearly a sign from gawd that Winter is going to be cold.
He literally asked for it. So emo.
Elmo. Whatever.
The Cows turn in a pretty decent version on the WFMU Alternative JCS (which I don’t doubt I learned of via BoingBoing, at some point).
according to reputable sites like youwantlashesillgiveyoulashes.com
The average person has around 90-150 lashes on their upper lid and about 70-80 lashes on their lower
39 is only like half a lid
Maybe he’s born with it, maybe it’s Magdalene?
some models have longer lashes and some models do not
