‘Mellow Out!’ (says Jesus)
Noted somewhere in a long Usenet thread: I’m picturing Jesus, looking down at this poster and thinking “Oh for Christ sake, another nut wants me to wipe out a whole bunch of people just to prove his theory”. But, I heard Jesus was a good guy. He was the first peacenic/hippie, with his long hair […]
