The folks organizing to build an “Arch of Triumph” Marian shrine in Buffalo even have a song about it now! I still like the idea of supersizing it, but if it comes off in just the regular version (below), it may actually be an interesting place to visit.
I worry a little when I hear talk about our Lady’s coming “triumph”, because a bunch of very kooky phony mystics in the ’80s and ’90s made it their theme. If we’d all sign on to the latest apparitionist’s messages, it seemed, Our Lady’s Triumph (gotta use that capital T) would be ever closer, and surely it was coming next year. All we needed was one more apparition movie with Martin Sheen.

Why does it look like the McDonald’s arches?
“You deserve a break today from Our Lady”?
Does this remind anyone else of the “Stonehenge” scene in “This Is Spinal Tap”?
I must decrease so that he may increase…I know it’s John the Baptist’s line, but I can’t help think it when I see the world’s largest 1970s M.
This giant cracker apparently comes with its own nuts.
And that’s quite a song.
“Thank you, my child, for that honest confession, but for your penance, you have to polish the arch during a lake effect snowstorm.”
Scary.
Why would Our Lady want a Triumph? Wouldn’t she prefer a Harley?
Now don’t be knocking Triumphs. My dad had two of ’em when I was in high school. The ’64 TR-4 in racing green was great.
But I must say that if it were up to me, I would choose a Boxster over a Triumph.
