Red Mr. Peanut Bank Padre was hungry, and took us to a restaurant in Asheville, where we met a Mysterious Stranger!
Gallito Mescalito ¡Shrrriiieeekk!
Red Mr. Peanut Bank Yes, this Mysterious Stranger talked us into a candle light dinner away from Padre's table. . .
Mysterious Stranger Y'all shud trai thuh crayab caikes; theyah deelish!

Red Mr. Peanut Bank Don't mind him! It's not as if anyone can actually understand anything he says, either!

Red Mr. Peanut Bank You see, another Mysterious Stranger had entered the restaurant and was sitting across the room, watching us! She was drinking some strange beverage.
Red Mr. Peanut Bank So, who do you think that is, and what does she want, not-quite-as-mysterious-stranger?
Gallito Mescalito ¿Shriek?

Miss Egyptian Hippo of Love So, what about the Mysterious Stranger?
wiggly harp scene transition music
Red Mr. Peanut Bank It turned out that she IS a friend of Padre Mickey after all. She's not even mysterious, really. She's Profesora Jane of Acts of Hope, which means she's not a stranger, either. She and Padre met for dinner and built a fort with the tablecloths from the tables around us, but, all in all, it was a wonderful evening. Well, next week I'll tell you all about the CREDO thang at Lake Logan!
¡Shrrriiieeeekk!

Y'all DO have adventures. And I suspect this stranger is stranger than most, which means she is one of us, and of course it's our beloved Jane R who, thanks be to Godde, has the same silly streak that the Padre and I have. All of which is a sign of hope for the church and the world, IMNSHO.
Hello to all the Dance Party members and the newest addition Fuzzy Southern Mountain Moose. Btw, what makes the southern mountains fuzzy?
FABULOUS.
But I really shouldn't be the first to comment.
Pretend I'm the second.
From the Mysterious Mountainous South,
{Mysterious Stranger}
P.S. Glad that FSMM had such a pleasant first meeting with the gang!
Oh, whew, Padre Pablito posted at the same time as I and got there one second earlier.
It's not the mountains that are fuzzy, it's the Moose. She could be a relative of your girls (and boys.)
Gotta be careful. With two mooses, some American governor might come to Panama with the big I-Dee that you have one moose too many.
Or two moose too many! But now there are two and they will overcome her! Yeah! Moose power! ¡Sí se puede!
¡MEOW!
wow --mr witty says that next time janeR comes here, she must build a tablecloth fort here--we didn't know she liked to play!!
Excellent post Padre! Excellent! Welcome home! Look forward to your CREDO posts!
blessings!
Oh my! Such thrills and chills and wiggly harp music transitions and everything!
I was at the edge of my pew every moment of reading this post.
It was as if I were transported to the mysterious meet up with the mysterious stranger.
I think everyone is going to get along beautifully - and that Fuzzy Southern Mountain Moose is just adorable. Although no one will ever take the place of bunrab in my heart!!
You know who this is. It is late and I was blogging here and too tired and lazy to switch my identities.
Really, the musical, yet soundless, graphics captured the entire spirit of things...naturally I find Fuzzy Mountain Moose enchanting...don't worry about Penguinos feelings...it never was meant to be what I insisted it should have been between he and the notoriously bi-sexual Mightyness of Vermont Vermont....double darn and a dang...win one and then loss....I could cry...I hate Bisexuals when they actively do the "bi" part...
It's so unsettling.

The transitions made the episode...very wiggly!
But where was the Crocogator when all this was happening????? hmmmmmm?
The comments are as good as the post, but sweet Jesus on a waffle, who let that Catholic blogger in??? (tee hee)
(When the blog post is as funny as it was in the morning as it was in the wine infused tired haze of night, you know it is good indeed.)
