The Buzz
"Purgatorio is sheer genius. I'm seriously considering giving it a place in my "Stellar" category."
Pyromaniac
"Stellar"
Pyromaniacs
"With tens of thousands of new blogs beginning every day, it is rare that one comes along that is very different from the rest.
Purgatorio is different. Very different. Short on text but long on photo essays, this site is a
fascinating glimpse into the trends and fads within Evangelicalism (and occasionally beyond)"
Challies Dot Com
"Purgatorio - Marc Heinrich's blog is only a few months old and today he got more hits than I did.
His "you might be emerging if . . . post" that i mentioned last week is already legendary. Challies made him
King For a Week, and I am making him Skinny for a Week... Anyway . . . congrats Marc on your excellent blog.
Love all the images! Now go and overtake Mark D. Roberts. And after him, set your sites on HughHewitt.com"
Tall Skinny Kiwi
"Marc. We usually read your post daily for some great laughs."
FIDE-O
"If you've never visited Purgatorio, it's time. The guy's got a sense of humor that won't stop.
Jesus Creed Scot McKnight
"I just added Purgatorio to my blogroll, for good reason. Marc Heinrich is a witty Christian Hedonist
(from Minnesota, surprisingly) who blogs entirely through the medium of pictures.
More importantly, he also likes Radiohead. Go check it out - it's not the usual fare in biblio-blogging
and it's worth your time. Express enough interest, and maybe he'll invite you to stay at his house."
Soylent Green
"Marc,You are an instigator, aren't you? That is one reason why PURGATORIO is great!"
Rose's Reasonings
"Usually pot-shot takers aren't ecumenical enough for my taste (or funny enough),
but this site is exceptionally funny and not so mean spirited."
A List of List's
"There are very few Christian bloggers that are consistently able to write funny posts.
Marc Heinrich is not one of them. He is able to be consistently funny while writing almost nothing.
And that is why his blog is one of my favorites."
Christian Survey
"I'm chocking over here - I will just come right out and say it.
What???? I visited and that blob/site is garbage. My soul within me is burning.
Are you guys serious?????? ...c'mon, what is this blog. I'm disgusted.
Redeemed
"My favorite place for funny or weird photos that say more about people than words can."
Off the Main Road
"One of the truly unique efforts in the Christian blogosphere"
Sharper Iron
"Be perjoritive if you like. I beleive you will see that my readers
will discern which of us is a 'kook'. I'm not the fundie here... Your comments prove my point, Big Time."
Reformed Catholic Pentacostal
"I really should Rule 40 this blog, but these kinds of posts can't be found elsewhere"
The Boar's Head Tavern - iMonk
"I'd like to point out that marc is somewhat delusional from searching the internet for images that
he thinks are related. It's kinda like the episode of Voyager where Seven links her alcove into the ship's sensor
logs and becomes hyper-paranoid about the intentions of the crew and ultimately pits Janeway against Chakotay even
though both conspiracy theories cannot be true."

Jackie Gleason was a man not easily intimidated, so his failure to show up for the album photo can only be attributed to the Untweezed Martin Eyebrow Menace.
Christmas Jug Band: more than one kind of drunk, I guess.
Jimmy Smith’s friends were all sick to death of getting lead weights every year. (No other explanation for how the slipstream from the convertible failed to dislodge all the gifts)
Christmas is a’comin’, and Jorma got some killin’ to do.
Roy and Dale’s pet Wookie just HAD to be in the picture. He was so ugly, tho, that they made him do a handstand with bells on.
Christmas Serenade in the Glenn Miller style … if, that is, Glenn Miller was colorblind. I guess I’m glad they didn’t force Paula Kelly to don a Helper Hat with all the guys. Would’ve destroyed her helmet hair and made the clash with her dress all the more obvious.

Ok, we have Dean Martin and Jackie Gleason and Santa’s the one who looks like he’s had a strong draw off that jug.
I’s actually like to have the Glenn Miller Band album.
Plea by Jim Pemberton — December 19, 2008 @ 9:47 pm
I’d get the Roy Rogers and Dale Evans album just because it has a Joshua tree on the cover.

The Jug Band … Uncorked. Sounds like a pre-channeling of the movies that get released in their unrated versions and whose participle is always thematically tied into the movie (i.e. “Double Secret Probation Edition” for Animal House)
Plea by Jered — December 20, 2008 @ 2:06 am
Aaron, if you had a proper understanding of 1 Cor 14 you would understand that Paul clearly intended for only MEN to wear Santa hats.
Plea by Nonc Hilare — December 20, 2008 @ 4:03 pm
Quick! Re-cork it! Re-cork it!
Plea by Lee Shelton — December 23, 2008 @ 10:51 am
Engrish plea:
“See Christmas album cover of the Marc are the happy! Laugh only and leap our hearts! Thank the Marc of these pictures…so Divine Vinyl! Jollity of the Christmas wished to the Marc!”
Plea by Brent — December 23, 2008 @ 10:56 am
1. Dean still couldn’t remember if the position of the adjectival modifier within the sentence mattered, leading to some very interesting album titles that mislead “artsy” types thought of as “clever” instead of “ignorant”
2. Santa’s first DUI was not mitigated by the drunk elf bellowing Auld Lang Syne from the nest within his beard.
3. It may be totaly secular, but it still syas christmas on the cover!
4. Patti Page died of pneumonia shortly before new year.
5. Jus cause I’m a brother, you think I’m stealin these gifts?!?
6. Jorma had the unfortunate job of town executioner, which always lead to a somber christmas whenever someone stole a christmas goose.
7. What can I say? The dude looks good.
8. For christmas, Scooby skipped the ghosts and witches, for a more serious theme - the missing santa
9. Quick, somebody kill it!
10. See above!
Plea by John — December 24, 2008 @ 10:57 am
I’m a little late to this post, but I’ve had Christmas Cookin’ for years. It’s actually a great album.
