"Hopping hopscotch factory of doom, RebornMan, guess who's in town!" my sidekick, TwiceBornDude, yells excitedly.
"Who?" I inquire, pausing from sipping my American-grown tea.
Hmm, needs more sugar...
"The Mud Locust! Quick, it's on channel 5 right now!"
I dash over to our big screen made in USA and Japan TV, and, sure enough, right there is the Mud Locust, riding his high-tech chariot.
"He's the most rabid Pelagian around!" I gasp. "We've got to stop him!"
"That's right Greg, law enforcement is..." the reporter, Frank Adams, informs the viewers. "Hey! He's leaving!"
"Great ham sandwiches of Norway, RebornMan, I forgot that Paul Washer is preaching at a conference this week!" TwiceBornDude exclaims. "It must have scared him off!"
I nod. "For now. But he'll be back. Let's be ready."
"My chariot has got mud and mire all over it! Is there a nice deli near here where I can get a bite to eat while I'm waiting for my two-wheeler to be washed and waxed?"
"There's the John the Baptist Cafe around the corner."
"Thanks", I said as I wiped mud from my toga.
The menu had nothing but spring water, locusts plain and locusts with honey.
"I would like my locust with a little sugar sprinkled on top," I told my waitress.
"We're out of locust."
"Got any bacon?"
"Just locust bacon."
"Okay!"
I ordered take away and then left for Boise, Idaho.

I guess bacon really can make everything taste good - even locusts!
