2. Instead of Donating To Charity
Let's build a replica of B-17 bomber. Pathetic.

3. Yeah and I helped pay for it.
It's a phallic thing with Jimmy. Kinda like a Hummer for the nouveau riche.

4. Oh, gosh.
Downstairs in the Welcome Center, young visitors will love the newly expanded Kid's Korner. One of the main attractions is A-Bend-A-Go, a three-story corkscrew slide.

A-Bend-A-Go, as in Abednego, one of the men in the Old Testament story of 3 men in the fiery furnace?

:puke:

5. I just love a good Bible story,
and had forgotten all about this one. Hearing Abednego brought back a memory of 3 guys with rather odd names, although there is a certain cadence to them when said together.

After the aforementioned refused Nebuchadnezzar's decree to worship the image of gold, he threw them into the fiery furnace, only to emerge unscathed, and with an angel to boot.

Old Nebby was so impressed, he stated -

"Therefore I decree that the people of any nation or language who say anything against the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego be cut into pieces and their houses be turned into piles of rubble, for no other god can save in this way."

The first compassionate conservative?

6. Ha.
I live not far from this place, but they won't let you inside if they think you "look like you might make trouble." Alas, I cannot enjoy the A Bend A Go. I want to know if you slide down into a furnace or boiler or anything like.
