i kill myself sometimes...
Aug. 22nd, 2006 04:09 pmon a discussion of "Elaborate Mediocrity", someone mentioned the Mormon Temple, to which i clarified:
Re: The Mormon temple in Bethesda, MD - for those who don't travel the DC beltway on a daily/weekly basis, think the "Emerald City of Oz" peaking up 200 feet above the trees, with a golden Jesus at the top of the spire holding a golf club out and yelling "fore!" to the east, and you'll have it.
The traffic reporters still refer to one of the bridges over the beltway as the "Surrender Dorothy Bridge" (thanks to some now painted out letters a graffiti artist put there years ago).

See Jesus with the golf club? ;)
Seriously, I think it's supposed to be Gabriel blowing his horn, but I swear, it looks like he's playing golf.
