This expensive, absurd, and ugly statue graces the grounds of the Solid Rock Church in Monroe, Ohio. It begs for our laughter, in my opinion.
Got some captions of your own?

This statue is also fondly referred to as "touchdown Jesus" by some locals.

Locals always figure out the best nicknames.

Oh, that's good stuff. All my best ideas turn out to be someone else's. Hey, I'm used to it.

My wife comes from Columbus Indiana. Its a wonderful town by the way, not far from Bloomington, the famous University town in the movie "Breaking Away".
Anyway, Columbus is world famous in architecture because long ago the local Cummins Engine Company instituted a policy of paying the price for any building as long as the city selected the design from a list promising modern architects from around the world. All the big names since the late 1940s are represented there and its worth a visit if you're ever in Hoosier country.
If you ask directions from the locals, (many of whom seem to have walked right out of the pages of the script for "Harvey") the directions usually go like this:
[Hoosier accent]"Well, to get to the post office, just go down Lafayette Avenue and turn left at the giant oil can, go one block past the upside-down horse until you see brick elephant's trunk. Turn right and next door will be the big football, which is the post office."[/Hoosier accent]  |
