Our Blessed Behemoth goes by many names locally, my favorite is the Chalk Monster. Legend has it that his body is a semi truck trailer standing on end, and he does resemble a large milk carton with arms. Recently, on a local online message board someone pointed out that our Hillside Christ, (ever the voyeur) has his arms outspread in the football referee's gesture for poor sportsmanship, which could be His holy commentary on the venom of local small-town politics. For the facts, see the Christ of the Ozarks entry at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christ_of_the_Ozarks |
