Or a MANzeer?[/quote]

It does help keep a scapular in place rather well. I've never heard of a MANzeer.

Wonderful.
Where does one find the actual item?

It's a joke from an episode of Seinfeld where Kramer and George's father want to market braziers for man. They call them the MANzier.

Anyway, I wear a brown scapular.

Well, it depends on which scapular you want.

This site offers a free brown scapular:

To get my fivefold, I just did a google search for fivefold scapular and easily found places selling them.

There are probably other websites that offer free or very cheap individual scapulars, though. I'm not sure about religious stores, but I'd hope that most Catholic stores would still carry them.

A friend of mine has one, but the only problem is, you can't be discreet with it because it is so high up on your neck. Guess it is a trade-off.

Are you able to keep it discreet? Is it brown?

See, i'd switch if i could get both the brown and the green one.

We could google-bomb it to make it number one ... Everyone google "athlete's scapular" and click on the result for this thread!

Google works by a voting system -- the more clicks a link gets, the higher up it will be.

[lilac_angel]

Yeah, I don't know if there's a fivefold athlete's scapular either.

GOOGLE-BOMB... sounds fun!!!!

Oh no, it's lower now. Somebody must have been sabotaging our evil planzzzzz.

[Nihil Obstat]

Google is how I found phatmass. ;D
I was looking for the official position on animals and souls and heaven because unfortunately we put one of our dogs to sleep the day before yesterday.
I found a thread on the subject which (to be honest) didn't make me feel very great, but I kept reading the forum and loved it, so here I am!
...and you can't get rid of me.

...and just so I'm not totally off topic:
I like this scapular thing, and I'll look into getting one in the future.

[lilac_angel]

yay for google... but I'm sorry to hear about your dog

i'm glad that something good could come out of a sad thing, though. and it's great to have you here. you seem quite eager to learn, contribute good things, and are a jolly addition to the pham!

& sounds good, be sure to let us know what you decide on if/when that happens =D

I'm glad to hear all of that.
Yea, it was a sad time.
I'm really liking this 'phorum' though. Hard to find like minded people sometimes.

I guess I have an athlete's scapular? I googled it to see what it looked like, since I had never heard of one before, and apparentally it's the same one I have.

Personally, I still have problems with it. Or, I did when I was wearing it. I'd be playing softball and it would slide all the way up on one side. Quite annoying.

Anywho, I've never been invested and I stopped wearing it mostly because I found that it would always tangle with my medals that I wear. Anyone else have that problem?

Aye, it's brown. If you put both medals to the back, the front slides right up around your neck, but you can balance it well with the St Benedict medal on the back and the crucifix on the front.
