Here’s an interesting sculptural specimen I ran across in the crypt at the Episcopal Church of the Frescoes in Glendale Springs, North Carolina, back in June. It is, as you can see, a representation of Our Lord wearing what looks like a pashmina, or maybe a camel’s-hair hand-me-down from His cousin John the Baptist, and is entitled “The Agony in the Wilderness.”
Agony . . . temptation . . . wilderness . . . garden . . .
Let’s call the whole thing off.

A pashmina would not suffice to cause that howl. I’d say it’s a wolf pelt. I’m surprised at your score of 32. I can’t find a single redeeming quality in this monstrous thing. Transport immediately to the Museum of Bad Art.

I’m sure you’re right. This ratings business is terribly arbitrary. Maybe I forgot to put in a minus sign. And I agree about sending it to MOBA. I think I was probably feeling like being merciful to this little church in the middle of nowhere, whose only claim to fame is that it’s amassed these frescoes and other art objects.
Hm, a wolf pelt. Hadn’t thought about that.
ETA: Yeah, you are right. A minus sign was what was missing.

Staking a claim to fame. That’s where you can get them every time.
