Televangelist Billy Ron Halo set up his tent revival right outside of Keychain, Nebraska. The very first time he came out to preach, he had a frog in his throat. He had been eating frog legs just minutes before and one got lodged in his pharynx. He was taken to the hospital. Someone sang a song. Then they took up an offering.
"Why the long face, RebornMan?" my interpid sidekick, TwiceBornDude, inquires as I walk into our cavernous living room.
"I just got a call from Eddie Eddings, TBD," I reply, tears forming. "Corky has passed."
"Jumping ninja frog out of Egypt!" TwiceBornDude cries. "It can't be! Life without Corky is worse than camping with a soggy tent!"
"Yes," I sigh. "It's now our turn to practice HALO jumps with a TULIP keychain ornament."
"Wha...?" coughs my friend.
"Corky and Eddie were the last holders of the TULIP keychain. They have now passed it onto us. I was so happy that I just burst into tears! We've been needing to improve our HALO form, anyway..."
"You cats are insane," TBD chuckles. "But I can't imagine life without ya."
I smile, thinking of our two Calvinistic, comedic buddies. "Amen to that, my friend. Thank God that you don't have to."

ReplyDeleteI will take part in this as soon as I can, but first I must engage in fixing a frog keychain, building a tent, and executing some HALO jumps.

Apologies for the wait. Been feeling terrible. Prayers appreciated.
ReplyDeleteWill pray, brother. I can always depend on you to engage in these mental exercises. Get well soon.
ReplyDeleteThanks a ton, my friend. :-)
