How did yall come up with a Jesus Monkey car???

Well, I had nothing to do with it, I just drive it during the parade. My office-mate at work is the art car artist and owner. He has some sort of fixation with Jesus' and Monkeys, so he combined them into an art car, it's a sight to see. I get the honor of driving the car while he parades around in costume on his banana scooter. Last year he was The Jesus Monkey, dressed as Jesus with a monkey face. This year he will be Super Jesus Monkey, dressed as a superhero with, of course, a monkey face, cape and costume. I will just be wearing a hat and banana nose glasses, driving. So if you see us, holler out "GROOVEHOUSE!" and if I can find ya, I'll honk or wave or something...

See ya there!

Wasn't able to make the Art Car Parade proper, but was walking down Montrose when they disbanded. Saw the Jesus Monkey car and screamed "HEY GROOOOOOVEHOUSE!" but turns out that the actual owner was driving it himself. Spoke with him later and he was amused that groovehouse had his very own fanclub already. :wub:

Wanna know something creepy/neat about the JesusMonkey car? Its inspection expires at the end of next month, and the registration's good though the end of this year. So the stickers on his windshield appear as follows:

6

6-6

oooooh......was that planned?

bigtex, do you sit around and think this stuff up, or does it just hit while you sit in a bluish haze water filtered ganja?
