We're having a heatwave? Jesus H. Christ . .

We're having a heatwave? Jesus H. Christ  . .

I CAN'T GET THE H in Jesus H. Christ. Is it for Hebrew or Harry or Hell? Why do we say Jesus H. Christ?. I haven't a clue. And I know if I Google it I will find information if not an answer. But riff with me now, Jesus H. Christ. What's the H?

Heatwave? Possibly. Jesus Heatwave Christ. Yeah, that works. Sorta. Unless you know where the heatwave comes from. Her.

Marilyn in the Seven Year Itch feeling the coolwave of a passing subway underneath. Her flouncy white dress flying from below as she sexily tries to keep it down. "We're having a heatwave. A tropical. tropical heatwave. . ." Marilyn coos in a different movie.

This is a pretty hot statue, don't you think? Well, not a statue but a big perfect plastic corsage. And it stands in the garden of the Ellen Powell Tiberino Museum with Jesus H. Christ, the Norma Jean of Christendom., all around her. You've gotta see this place. Which I realize as I write this, is exactly what I want to say. You gotta see this place.

Marilyn shares space with some amazing art I won't try to explain. Ok, how 'bout this: Imagine an entire house from the outside made of artwork rather than gingerbread and candy. That's the setting for the Tiberino Musuem. As for the Tiberinos themseves, expect mystery and mischief in their answers.

I don't even know if I want you to meet these people. But if you do, don't tell'um who sent you. They'll know.
