Zakk last! The final Zakk the metrosexual worship leader image.

A few weeks ago, a wildly talented comic artist named Wes Molebash agreed to a crazy idea I sent him. The plan was simple. For every $3,000 Stuff Christians Like raised toward building a second kindergarten in Vietnam, we would add an accoutrement to our metrosexual worship leader mascot. Affectionately named “Zakkhaeus Barnabus Fouteknote” or “Zakk” for short, we all watched the support for Vietnam come in and the clothes for Zakk pile up.
Here is the progression from start to finish:
Zakk in boxers and a v-neck t-shirt.
Zakk has a white belt and some TOMS shoes.
Zakk rocks the graphic tee, unnecessary scarf and skinny tie.
Zakk receives a vest and some thumb rings.
Zakk goes man bag, gelled hair and thick white watch.
And finally, as Etta James so perfectly sang all those years ago, Zakk last, Zakk last.
We hit $60,000, finished our goal of two kindergartens and completely outfitted Zakk.
Here he is in all the metrosexuality that one human can possess. He’s now got a sleeve of tattoos and is riding a Vespa scooter. (What color is that? I think it’s “unripe papaya.”)
His man bag, scarf and skinny tie are flying in the wind majestically and he’s actually playing the guitar as he rides.
On behalf of Wes.
On behalf of me.
On behalf of Zakk.
Thank you for going on this fun, wild ride.
p.s. What song do you think Zakk is singing right now on that scooter?

I'm certain he's singing this:

In his mind, at least.
I think he's singing Steve Miller's "Go on take the money and run…Whoo-hoo….go on take the mopney and run.."
No?
Well, how about Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in the Wall" ?
OK, OK, just funnin' with ya….
Nice job. I'd daydream about dating him during an impromptu P&W session at his loft.
My MWL likes to sing a little Gwen Stefani while he's setting up for practice… B-A-N-A-N-A-S…
I cut my achilles tendon by doing that on my bike. It started harmless – riding no hands around campus, but before I knew it, I was so confident I started bringing my ukulele with me on some trips across campus. The fateful day came on my third or fourth "playing ukulele while riding my bike no hands" trip, after my brother riding next to me acted like he was going to grab the handlebars and mess with them. I went down, and those serrated 80's road bike pedals came around and slammed into the back of my left foot. Watch out, Zakk.
Zakk Last.
Duh.
Wow. My name is Zak. This is great because I'm a worship leader too! However, I (proudly) scored a 10 on the quiz. Funny stuff!
