This was the subject line from an email I received recently from Linda Wilson.  The body of the email was as follows:

for the talent show?

Hum, I mused, would be a clever reply and I settled on this:

re. any ideas?

..that we can do in polite company?

...and the rest is, well, um, you'll see.

Well, yeah, that would probably be best.  I thought maybe we could adapt the story of Boudreaux' Lent to Cricket County.  It probably happened there anyway.  We could rewrite it as "Fester's Lent" .

 

Each Friday night after work, Boudreaux would fire up his outdoor grill
and cook  a venison steak.

But, all of Boudreaux's neighbors were Catholic... and since it was Lent,

they were forbidden from eating meat on Friday.

The delicious aroma from the grilled venison steaks was causing such a
problem for the Catholic faithful that they finally talked to their Priest.

The Priest came to visit Boudreaux, and suggested that he become a
Catholic.  After several classes and much study, Boudreaux attended
Mass, and as the priest sprinkled holy water over him, he said, "You
were born a Baptist, and raised a Baptist, but now you are a  Catholic."
 
Boudreaux's neighbors were greatly relieved, until Friday night arrived,
and the wonderful aroma of grilled venison filled the neighborhood.

The Priest was called immediately by the neighbors, and, as he rushed
into Boudreaux's yard, clutching a rosary and prepared to scold him, he
stopped and watched in amazement. 

 

There stood Boudreaux, clutching a small bottle of holy water which he

carefully sprinkled over the grilling meat and chanted:  "You wuz born a

deer, you wuz raised a deer, but now you is a catfish."
