So yeah....

I really need to get an off-white full length robe. A Jesus robe.

Why? Well, if I take off my glasses and get my hair out of the ponytail, I sort of look like the popular image of Jesus. (Side note: At least three times this year, I have been asked if I am Jewish. Must be the beard.)

Why would I want to dress up like Jesus? Simple. There is a gay pride parade/march/buttsex event this weekend (or next week, I'm sorta unclear on this), and the local infestation of easily upset super-Christians has been rising. Yesterday, I got lunch and a show by watching a fundie rant at various college students about what exactly was going to send them to Hell. (By the time I'd left, rock music, R&B music, gay sex, being a Jew, not believing in Jesus, and smoking the wacky-weed had been mentioned.)

And he was doing this "on" campus. The on is in quotations, because he stayed on the sidewalk in front of the main library. The sidewalk is public space. If he'd stepped onto the library grounds (or any university grounds, for that matter), the campus cops (of which there were two present) would have made him leave. There was also a City of Columbia cop there, but more for the show then anything else.

So, I figure, showing up, dressed like Jesus would make these guys heads' explode. Mind you, I don't have sandals either, so it would be Jesus in black work boots.

Doesn't really answer the why I would do this, though, does it.

Because it would be funny.
