Ste. Em's Lenten Accesories

Make Your Lent Unbearable This Year

(Negotiations with the Pope's Indulgence Task Force Still Ongoing - Ste. Em is working on the best deal for you.)

The Bizarre Bazaar for all your Lenten needs. Not suffering enough? Still waking up in the morning wanting to greet the day with the Venite? Never fear, Ste. Em's Lenten Marketplace is here!

Hair Shirts by Roughhider, Inc.: One size fits all. Several grades of irritant materials available from Hedgehog (for novice penitents and Vicars) to Razorback hide (for the Texas Bishops and Deaconatrix). Complete the outfit with burlap panties, bras and briefs, cockleburr jockstraps, and nettle menstrual pads.

Motorized-self-flagellation devices: 10 strokes for every one arm motion. Lotsa slap for the snap.

Synergizer Bunny, battery powered. Beats his little drum and says "Money back in 90 days, If your tithe doesn't pay." Turns on, but never turns off.

Iron Maiden: Mattress pad made of the coarsest russian thistle. For all those hard to reach sore spots you never thought would be irritated in a true penitential fashion, The Iron Maiden makes acupuncture look like child's play.

Need a good stretch in the morning? Try The Rack! Feet cold? Try the Rack over a fire with the optional spit assembly!

Lenten CD: all your favorite tunes performed in true tribulation style by Zamfir and Slim Whitman. "Shine Jesus Shine", "I Want to Be Like Jesus", "River of Light", "My Lord What a Morning", "Awesome God", "My God, I Love Thee", "Angel Band."

Superior Melting Oil: for maximum pouring temperature without unecessary boilovers. Use with Greek Fire for those who think SMO isn't enough.

Personal Incense: for those who can't quite work up a good lather on their own.

Oyster Shell Knee Pads: works up callouses quickly. Get a years' worth of cuts and bruises in one kneeling, 40 grit.

Missouri Mule Chips: sit stubbornly on your shoulder. Available with interchangeable decals for accurate targetting and sighting. Choose selection A: (LW, HS98, CSL, NIV); or B: (TLH, FW, PVofM, NKJV); or C: (CG, CW, HGTA, GA-FL)

Lenten Picnic Basket: filled with the finest selection of aged cheddar, hardtak, and Illinois tap water for those who aren't bound enough already.
