You may remember that the original Butter Jesus went in a conflagration (that was not the end of the world). The good people have replaced the Butter Jesus with a less buttery version who is above the water (and not quite walking on it). No word on if there’s a new nickname in popular culture.

Sam, you reminded me of the “Big Butter Jesus” song, but when I went to your former article, the link to the song was gone. “Oleo, Oh Lord!” indeed.

Halleluia! The Wiki link (old) in the caption does have the link at the very bottom.

Hee. Went to the old butter Jesus entry, saw b-flat, immediately thought about alligators, then saw that I had *commented* about alligators. Like the old Jeebus much better than the replacement.

Makes it BJeebus? Love that! BTW, that must be the only b-flat in this blog….

I knew him as “Touchdown Jesus” ’cause when he threw his arms up, you knew you had scored!
