Is that a giant neon cross on your church, or are you just excited to see me?

So, there's this church in Lakewood (about 20 minutes north of Olympia, for you out of staters) that's a got a giant neon cross on it that you can see from the freeway. The cross is surrounded by a blue neon tall arc with narrow base. On either side of the large blue arc surrounding the cross are small half-arcs. Basically, it looks like a neon cross encompassed by a large neon blue phallus, although from some angles it looks like a rocket ship. Either way, I find it really funny and find myself looking for it most afternoons.

pants follow-up

Just to clarify, I was not interested in Kristi's pants and quickly declined. I have no idea why she would actually offer them, but I have a couple probably wrong ideas:

1) She often compliments me on my shoes, maybe she feels my pants don't match up in quality/beauty?
2) She knits, maybe she also makes pants. Her knitting is hilarious, btw. She often runs out of yarn mid-project and rather than searching for the exact match, will switch to yarn that is close. Mittens that start out mustard colored and end up in more of a buttercup are quite distinctive.
3) She lives in a communal setting where they have a give away box, and maybe someone was liberating their closet of a lot of pants. Let me tell you, while I am not interested in hand-me-down pants from someone I only know from commuting, what I am even less interested in is hand-me-down pants from a stranger who lives in someone I only know from commuting's apartment building (or wherever she lives).

pants

20 minutes into the van ride Kristi turned around to ask me “are you interested in some pants”. Wtf?
