Do you guys remember that guy that walked all over the US as Jesus? Does he still do that?

the reason I ask is because on my way to work today I saw this guy (i think it was a guy) with long hair walking along the road. he had on a kahki colored trenchcoat and was carrying a luggage bag behind him.

Now, I seem to remember the Jesus guy didn't have any of that stuff so maybe this was just some regular bum. Although, the coat and luggage looked fairly clean and new.

Just thought it was a bit odd.

I remember the guy because he used to come over for dinner.
He did not have a coat when he was here - he just has a white claock.

hmm...maybe it was just a PA thing. A few years ago there was this guy who dressed as Jesus and walked around (barefoot even, i believe). It was on the news.

I'm not sure what the whole deal was, to promote religion I guess. I didn't pay much attention because I don't give a crap about religion.

Yeah, well, I know the guy quiet well.
He requests that much about him be kept private.
I can tell you - he isn't crazy.
His views are traditional.
He has no possessions except the cloak.
The cloak is his second one.
Someone else made it for him out of washable linen.
I have washed it in my house.
He wore a set of sheets while we washed it.

Where are you in PA? You wouldn't be talking about seeing this guy on Route 6 in north central PA would you?
