There’s more to Missouri than tacky Jesus lights

The day after putting up the Jesus Christmas light pictures, I got a rare e-mail from my friend J Bubbles, a reluctant resident of Kansas City:
Well. . . did you notice? I’ve read your blog 2 whole times now! Gee. . . do I sense some hostility towards the Show Me State??? I guess random guy does have a point, but does he know that KC [Kansas City] is the Headquarters to such fine companies as Sprint, Hallmark, Applebee’s INC., H & R Block, etc.
Sheesh, I don’t think I’m hostile towards Missouri—I was simply documenting an unusual display of Christmas lights.
And here’s another Kansas City tidbit. At the Plaza, a downtown mecca of consumer whoredom where you can buy everything except size 8 plum Keen Bronx shoes, the Segway store offers guided tours*. Also, when you’re at the Plaza, you can sit on Ben Franklin’s lap and tell him what you want for Christmas. So as you can see, there is more to Missouri than tacky Jesus lights.
*Recall, this is not the first time I’ve been attacked by Segways.
So when are you leaving the sunshine state and coming back to a real city? ^_^
Oh, I am back in a real city. Had to spend New Year’s Eve in Philly!
I really enjoyed the little Becky saying WTF.
And you know you didn’t have to go all the way to Missouri to sit on Ben’s lap. In fact that very same statue is a mere few yards from my office.
Thanks, Scott. Maybe I will make little Becky a regular feature.
Then again, maybe she should be reserved for special occaisions.
Well, you know what they say, ‘You can never have too much of a good thing.’
