That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for February 21, 2019

Virgil: Dante, next road trip, let’s pick a place with a nicer climate.

“I think we over heated the Jacuzzi.”

Do you think we can attract tourists? It’s warmer than Cancun.

“Wow, that’s a lot of lawyers! We don’t have any of those up in the big house.”

“You dropped the phone, you get it.”

Are these some guys from the first circle?

“Yeah, okay, so—two hours Eternity, in Earth time, equals…oh, just forever.”

“Or until crispy.”

“One for the money….”

You go first! No,you go first!

“I spy with my little eye……”

Seriously? This is where “mother-in-laws” come from? Who’d of thought?

Ohh, I dunno … I guess I’ll take that nice plump one on the rock there. No, not THAT one! The one with the thighs!

I want it medium, with clarified butter and some crackers.

Look what I pulled out of my nose.

He can’t say I didn’t warn him! “Pull that stunt one more time”, I said, “and you’ll end up in the Fourth Circle so fast you won’t even know what hit you!”

The angel and demon assigned to whisper in Donnie’s ears chose instead to attend a decade-long beach bonfire.

Or, to paraphrase an old Jay Leno joke, 1.2 minutes at 4,250 degrees!

You realize that’s just molten rock from the earths core right?

“Hmm. So that’s Hades, huh. Aw, what the heck, let’s go ahead and do our sinny thing; that doesn’t look so bad.”

“…and then I told her, I will not be bullied by you anymore. She always tries to push me around…blah, blah, blah”

“It looks more inviting by the moment. I will just jump in. I don’t think she will even notice…”

Dante: “That’s odd..they seem to have abandoned all hope.”

Caligula regaled His Satanic Majesty with firsthand accounts of the orgies he’d conducted, until the Devil decided he’d heard enough, and began to plot the little narcissist’s final fall from His grace.

This is the top circle of hell. This is where the gentle loving God who cares so much about justice, charity, love and forgiveness puts you if you committed the terrible sin of letting him create you before he got around to running Jesus through the wringer. Such a wonderful role model!

Seems things are heating up in Parliament over Brexit.

“Mightn’t be so bad down there; kings, popes, congressmen, presidents. Well, there it is. Heaven for climate; Hell for society.” – Mark Twain.

There is nothing to eat now that I’m on that damn new low sulfur diet.

Hmmm…looks like a good idea for a poem.

“Okay, one, when I told him to go to hell, I meant it metaphorically…….”

“And this concludes our tour of the Capitol building. The gift shop is upstairs to the right.”

But before you do either, you have to rub them with the 11 secret herbs and spices.

In the summer, he prefers the smaller ones; he likes shrimps on the barbie.

No, this one is just reserved for the hate groups. The other circles of Hell don’t want them either.

Dante and Virgil visit Hell or Dante and Virgil:

I could find no online info about this artist, other than what’s pointed to by the first URL (mainly the sparse info at its Artist link). So far, 2 works by him have been used here.

Satan hen pierces them with a pitchfork, when the juices run clear they are done(does this mean on to Purgatory then???)…

“Such a big fire to roast a few chestnuts!”

“Is it hot in here, or is it just me ?”
