It must be spring in Milwaukee, I just saw the Jesus Wagon rolling down Prospect. Actually, I was stuck behind the Jesus wagon as he tooled downtown to the East Side at 5 mph.

Perhaps Jesus Wagon isn't the correct term, but I'm referring to the station wagon plastered with a variety of sayings and warnings, none of which I have ever understood, that all seem to describe our impending doom.

The vehicle I saw was stripped down, with only the back window fully covered and sported old-school brown/fake wood paneling. I'm guessing this is a replacement vehicle as I thought the wagon was black and it had been COVERED from grill to trunk, which included a large Christmas candle used to decorate a lawn.

Does anyone know what this guy's deal is?

Regardless, as I hadn't seen him all winter, I'm taking this as a much-needed sign of Spring.

Yes - indeed. I saw him just the other day on Lincoln Memorial Drive. I have no idea wot his deal is but I'm quite positive the wagon is still black & plastered.... could there be two?! Perhaps he's starting a cult... I'm looking forward to see the rest of the Milwaukee freaks that come out of hibernation; pepperoni/canoli, the roller-blader (ballerina) guy.

Would you rather suffer through a December of sub-zero temperatures and blizzards or a first-round playoff loss at the hands of Brett Favre?
I'll take the Ice Age and a Packers win.
I'd rather see the Packers lose to Favre so I can stay warm.
This is like choosing the least painful way to die.
