JESUS!!!!

[Anne Frasier]

so a severed head rolls across the floor and hits your foot. you look down and say, "Jesus!"

or not.

i'm editing page proofs, and i noticed that three of my characters use the same Jesus exclamation in different dramatic situations. this must stop. what would you say if a severed head rolled across the floor in front of you?


holy shit!

holy crap!

Especially the Hardboiled Jesus.

In On Writing, Stephen King talks about a girl he knew in high school, a girl who became one of the inspirations for Carrie:

...One day her mother hired me to move some furniture. Dominating the trailer's living room was a nearly life-sized crucufied Jesus, eyes turned up, mouth turned down, blood dribbling from beneath the crown of thorns on his head. He was naked except for a rag twisted around his hips and loins. Above this bit of breechclout were the hollowed belly and the jutting ribs of a concentration-camp inmate...The pain had drivien him out of his mind. You could see it on his face. If that guy came back, he probably wouldn't be in a saving mood....

I just love that for some reason.

I don't know. I'd at least hold out for an x-box game.

It's a good expression of surprise too.

If it was a severed head/horrific sight, I think there would be a stuttered - oh....w-w-what.....oh .....my god (shriek)
