Too damn near my house….
Posted by jen April 9th, 2007 in Jeneral.I know I’ve posted this before, but what the hell, now there’s a musical tribute.
I’m like one exit from this thing. Locals call is Quicksand Jesus, Touchdown Jesus, Butter Jesus is making the circuit now thanks to the song in the video below which is featured often on the Bob and Tom Show which is nationally syndicated.
I’d like to see “Cylon Jesus” take off, since he’s busting out of a contained body of water, but you have to be a BSG nerd to get it.
This statue has been a constant eyesore since it was being built. He’s had two heads since the first one was constructed to the wrong scale and was too small, it still is, look at the size of those hands. It should lt be noted the damned cross is a constant problem. It used to hang into the water, well that was a bad idea, so patched it and they cut it above the water line. It’s sagged int he middle. When you pass by now the whole bottom of the cross is breaking off. HA! Nice $600,000 there bozos.
And here is the song dedicated to the statue sung by the writer, Comedian Heywood Banks. Our hero.
I never have any reason to drive along that part of 75! One of these days I’m going to have to make a special trip just to take pictures of myself crushing Drowning Jesus’ head.
Note: I have just read that comment and want to clarify that I meant head-crushing in a Kids in the Hall-style way, and not with a sledgehammer. So I am not quite as creepy as I could be.
“
weet Cream Jesus!” I think I’m going to start using that as an expression. :-)
That is so crazy. I forgot about that thing. I guess you can’t forget - man, one exit away?
Think of all the poor people they could have helped with that money. I guess we have to have priorities, huh?
I had cause to head up your way last night (I’m in West Chester) and saw The Lord reaching for the stars. You know, I didn’t know the total was up to $600,000…that is shameful. If these people really wanted to honor Jesus (and I’m not even traditional spiritually, but) they’d have taken that money and helped people, funded scholarships, given something to the community besides a blasphemous, horrible looking idol to worship.
Meanwhile, on a pet note, I wanted to let you know that my kitty I told you about? I had to put her to sleep night before last. I may never be the same…
I can’t believe it’s not Jesus
Too funny!!!
I liked it when he had one enormous eternally spurting fountain out in front of him, what with that expression and all… I guess someone got a clue and turned it into dueling fountains off to the sides.
I love the blog that you have. I was wondering if you would link my blog to yours and in return I would do the same for your blog. If you want to, my site name is American Legends and the URL is:
http://www.americanlegends.info
If you want to do this just go to my blog and in one of the comments just write your blog name and the URL and I will add it to my site.
Thanks,
David
Cylon Jesus has just downloaded into a new body.
I like Heywood Banks but this doesn’t hold a candle to Toast.
I saw Jesus today! Sorry we didn’t get to have a Jesus meetup, but my out-of-town guests wanted to see him.
