Not far away we had what everyone called “Big Butter Jesus” or “Touchdown Jesus”:
The “Big Butter” part comes from the region’s fascination with making butter sculptures:
The “Touchdown” name, for those that don’t know USA Football (Grid Iron), this is the same gesture the referee makes to signal a valid goal:
However, after being around for years, Touchdown Jesus is no more. I’m not making this up, it was struck by lightning and being made of fiberglass, burned to the ground.
If the ending of my story was too abrupt, and you wanted to spend just a bit more time with Touchdown Jesus, here’s the video a passerby caught of Touchdown Jesus burning. You can see the fire fighting vehicle on the left hand side, and the occasional flashes of lighting as the storm that started the fire rages on.

Thanks you for giving me a good laugh.
I cannot articulate how perfect this synopsis is.
Thought he was butter because he looks half melted
That is absolutely glorious.
