There is a big Hustler Adult Superstore right across the interstate and comedian Heywood Banks wrote song "Big Butter Jesus" about it that can be found on YouTube.

"Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I The Lord thy God am a jealous God. Love Me, and keep My Commandments, motherfuckers!"

The last picture reminds me of the recent Terminator coming out of the river.

Jesus went home fellas.
With the Force as his ally he did battle with the Dark Lord. And he showed the measure of a true Jedi at a place called "The Death Star" where hope for the Galaxy was reborn. May all who struggle against tyranny hold his memory in their hearts

Bet you he'll rise again on Sunday and it'll be easter eggs all 'round.

Accepting Jesus into my life got me laid a few times. That Jesus fella is okay in my book.

I think there's quite alot of people that think Jesus is a fine fella. Jesus Sanchez that is, the 24 year old Mexican chichifo from Toluca. Throw him a couple of pesos and he's anyones... one lay, two lays, three lays.

I am near the south part of Mt Healthy in College Hill. Basically from 75 when you get off Cross County turn left instead of right and I am a mile or so down.

I have been known to visit Newport as one of the Hofbräuhaus' is there.

I bought Jager for the house band at Hofbrauhaus, once apon a time. twas a good night!

We also like to go to the Southgate House to watch local bands. The place reminds me of an old haunt in Detroit.
