30 Jan 02 - 04:55 PM (#638893) Subject: Plastic Jesus From: RangerSteve I don't want the words to Plastic Jesus, but I was wondering if it's a parody of another song, and does anyone have the lyrics to the original. Paul Newman sang a non-parody sounding verse in Cool Hand Luke and that's what got me thinking about this. |

Only thing was, the plugs were mounted so they'd be set on sideways-- upright OK, but not straight lookin' atcha, jes' looming sideways. Now I wish I bought a pair to auction and award to Spaw. Shall I??? To recognize him as Keeper of the Eternal Flame and All Plastic Jesus Threads? ~Susan |

If somebody wants one, PM me, I may be able to track down the inventory. Liland |

Still never got one. We tried also for a "Barlo Knife" and couldn't find that either but Allan did eventualy get one and sent it to me. Bill |

02 Feb 02 - 10:30 AM (#640591) Subject: RE: Info Req: Plastic Jesus From: Jim Dixon When I was growing up in St. Louis, MO, on the fringe of the Italian neighborhood called The Hill (or sometimes by a more vulgar term) you could always tell which cars were owned by Catholics by the little plastic statues on the dashboard. They weren't always of Jesus. There could also be Mary, Joseph, St. Anthony, or several others. Sometimes one car would have 2 or 3 of theses statues. You can order your very own plastic Jesus from Catholic Supply of St. Louis. Look for "PLASTIC STATUARY- non-colored" near the bottom of the page. The web site doesn't say whether they come with an adhesive patch for easy dashboard mounting, but I wouldn't be surprised. |
