Connie, I have to say, it kind of cracked me up in SLC that every five feet there was a statue of Joseph Smith, yet I don't think I saw one thing of Jesus. I looked at Joe and asked, "Are we *sure* they worship Jesus?"
Angel: I appreciate you guys looking out for Connor all summer. It's just—he's confused. He needs time. That's all. Fred: Right. Time, and some corporal punishment with a large heavy mallet. Not that I'm bitter.

There is a very nice one, but it's tucked inside the visitor's center, up a ramp and in a special room. You'll occasionally see copies of the statue in gift shops, but He Who Is Also Known As The Reason For The Season is outnumbered.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Ha, I should try and find those old pictures they were selling for a while of Jesus with a crew cut and no beard.
No lie. Because too many kids were saying "But Jesus has a beard!" For some reason, though, the pictures caused more grief than just saying, "That was 2,000 years ago, kid, cut your hair," and they were quietly phased out.
Amazing how Short Hair Jesus looked a lot like Joseph Smith . . .

Back to pickles. Why the hell are "sour" and "half-sour" pickles called that when there's nothing sour in the brine? Is this one of those sneaky things like "dry" champagne and a "grande" at Charbucks?

Strictly speaking, that's not Jesus, that's just a narrator (snerk). And yes, there's the painting. And the inspiring view of temple across the way.
I actually quite like that room, it's darkish and quiet when the narrator doesn't talk, and people don't linger.
