I like the idea of getting more than one and spreading them on the property

Ah, Tracy, I should have known you were simply holding out for quality. I’ll be patient; greatness cannot be rushed.

Sheila, I’m not sure of the political (or sexual) bent of the nun–I simply ordered a generic boxing nun through the mail. Now that I think of it, I probably should have specified. But life is like a box of chocolates–you never know what you’re gonna get.

Okay, I’m very sorry for that last sentence.

Tracy, I’ve been honing my act since I was barely thirty, based on a performance that originated with a co-worker/friend who developed a great old-man-on-the-porch yelling-at-kids routine. “Hey, you kids — god-dammit . . . ” An explosive “hey” coupled with a rise to a half-standing position, followed by a weakening retreat and collapse.

Funny you mention that – I’ve come up with a couple of nun-based contraptions but they’re just weak and not worthy. I’m hoping to bring the sister along to this month’s Pride Day celebration for inspiration. I anticipate many scandalous vignettes.

Cindy, is that boxing nun you sent Tracy one of those Liberation Theology nuns who runs off to places like Guatemala and riles Uncle Sam?

Oh, Tracy, thank you for reminding me. Daryl and I need to get on the stick and put on our Texas Self-Deprecating Sock Puppet presentation.

And, by the way–aren’t we supposed to be getting a film of the Nun vs. Uncle Sam bout?? I didn’t send you that dang nun for nothin’.

And for fun gather weekly at the Community Sock Puppet Theater to take turns yelling at kids to get off our lawns in the most ironic ways imaginable.

Exactly. And we’ll try not to shoot each other.

And sometimes we'll get drunk and wander into one another's little cottages.

Yeah, we need to be separated. We’ll sit in our pajamas in our scattered little houses and post comments to each other.
