Mystery Giant Added at Glenn Goode's

On July 1, I went to Glenn Goode's site in Gainesville, Texas to check out the cowboy muffler man and his companion, Uniroyal Gal.

Guess what? There is a new one there. This makes the site somewhat of a cluster. The new guy is a muscular dude with his arms held up in sort of a circle. Uniroyal Gal is on a flat trailer and looks like she's just been re-painted. The cowboy is the same.

The "muscular dude" is a grocery bag clutching Big John, the colossus clerk mascot of a midwestern grocery store chain.
