Jesus on a Dog’s Ass?
First, someone please, for the love of all that is good and right in the world, tell me that this is a freakin’ joke:
Angus MacDougall is a three-year-old terrier mix that has recently been blessed with the revered and holy image of Jesus Christ on his hindquarters. Is this manifestation of The Prince of Peace a coincidence or a bona fide miracle? One thing is for certain, this apparition of the Son of God is sure to inspire controversy. Not much if any true scientific or theological inquiry has been made into the nature of this sign to date, but “seeing is believing” as little Angus’ terrier-tush is obviously marked by the likeness of Christ. Click on the image below to witness His astonishing appearance, first hand then be sure to visit the links above to learn more about Angus and his sacred derriere extraordinaire. We hope you enjoy your visit!
Since the name of the .gif image, lifted directly from the site, is “angusassjesus”, which seems a bit flippant for this sort of thing if it were for serious, I’m leaning towards joke. If it isn’t a joke, then dude, you have been spending entirely too much time staring at your dog’s ass. Just sayin’.
So, since the JellyBean’s resale/trade-in value has been resting at approximately zilch for some years now, never mind her current state of living death, I’m seriously considering going out and getting a can of gray and/or green glaze, and painting the JellyBean up like a zombie car. I figured I’d do something around the gaping rust spots to emphasize her “rotting”, and paint the remaining white bits in shades of leprous gray and green. Maybe some stitches glued on here and there, something like that. Perhaps painting “Brrrraaaaiiiinnnnnnzzzzz!” across the hood to help those souls lacking in wit to get the joke. A little note over the gas tank door that says: “Insert Brains Here.”
Heeheehee.
My car guy at work says I’ll probably get another year out of her, though, so I probably shouldn’t start digging her a grave quite yet.
Actually, we’re considering rebuilding the JellyBean. As it turns out, JellyBean engines (which presumably consists of a young hamster and a new wheel) are fairly cheap, and plus the other work that would need doing, it seems like it might still be cheaper than buying a decent used car. Any used car that we could actually afford would be a gamble as far as reliability goes, and any used car in the area that is new enough and in good enough shape to be reliable is up in the $8,000.00 range, from what we’re seeing. Shoot, we could resurrect the JellyBean for about $2,000.00, and then we know that everything is new and in good repair, and there’s no gambling really involved. A brand new engine is apparently only about $800.00 for a Festiva.
Of course, if we did that, I would have to repaint the JellyBean again, this time with a Six Million Dollar Man theme. I wonder if I could get a horn that would make the bionic jumping noise?

I’m still saving for a new car and can actually buy what I’m looking for (Toyota Yaris liftback), but with all the options I’d want to get on it, TT&L, and whatever else would leave me with about 25 cents in my savings account.
However, given the iffy state of Red, I’ve mentally prepared myself for the sudden need to buy a car. One really nice help was he ability to finance a tiny Kia for about $120-150/month so I could still save for a car I wanted and I’d have something to trade in, although a Kia wouldn’t get much.
If you really grew to like the Festiva, the little Kias might be a good choice. I don’t know how well they’d do in ice and snow, though. To be honest, though, I wasn’t sure Jellybean would last as long as it did so maybe a Kia could do close to the same?

Oh yeah, the dog’s ass thing… what do the owners claim is happening when the Ass-Jesus starts preaching? Is it a bunch of hot air or a load of bull/dogshit?

Actually, we looked at Kias before we found the deal on the Oldsmobile. They look like pretty nice cars — especially the little model, the Spectra. I couldn’t vouch for how the Kia would last. Festivas have an amazing reputation for longevity. Shoot, it’s still running, even on three pistons. I think we’re planning on having the axle fixed and keeping it for a spare.
That dog’s ass has just got to be a joke. Man, I hope so. Although, if it isn’t, and it does start preaching, I’m voting for “bunch of hot air”. *LOL*
