      I was gonna do this as a Halloween costume. I was going to paint my face up all gray/green and rotting, sores and all, wear a white robe, and a crown of thorns, and get a couple broken 4x4s tied to my arms like I broke my way down from the cross... but every time I described it, all I got was this look of horror, even from non-Christians.

      Same thing with the Christopher Reeve loose fitting Superman suit and a wheelchair idea. This was before he was dead, of course, I know poor taste when I giggle uncontrollably at it.
