Hi David - I've just discovered the Chez Tremblay area of BetterMost, specifically the Brokeback Cult. Inspired by what I found there, I have re-worked an old favourite (The Lord's Prayer) to accommodate the practices and rites of the Cult. Can I share it with you, et al?

The Brokeback Prayer

Our Brokeback
Which art in Wyoming
Hallowed be thine Icy Peaks
Thy Snow-Melt come
Thy will be done on Grand Teton
As it was in the Big Horn Mountains
Give us this day our daily Beans
And lead us not into the Grieving Plain
But deliver us from Childress and Riverton
For thine is the Love between Cowboys
The Love between sweet Jack and Ennis
For ever and ever
Yee-Haw

(God. I hope it was supposed to be funny)

It was supposed to be funny, wasn't it Kerry? Please say it was, or I'm gonna feel really bad here. <blush>

That was really good Kerry! Now I'm going to try and do it too! 

[David In Indy]

Wow guys, such great thoughts on SOG!

I was wondering if we could do a live chat on this blog once Kerry has finished reading the story? Good idea?

 

Well Melissa, you know I'm willing to chat if we can work out a time that is agreeable to everyone! I don't know how we would do it though. Everyone is on different time zones. And when I say "different", I mean WAY  D I F F E R E N T. 

Our little group is scattered all around the world. How would we do it?

   Wow! Thank you, David. You are remarkably well-informed! How did you know? Your post brought a patriotic tear to my eye

I have reworked the "Hail Mary" to please the CT  Brokeback Cult...

Hail Ennis and Jack, full of cuteness
Brokeback Mountain is with you.
Blessed are you both among all cowboys
And blessed are those nights in the tent, up on the QT.
Sexy Ennis and Jack, Brothers to all gay men,
Remember the rest of us, now and the next time you're up on Brokeback.

Yee-Haw!

lol

Well done, David. I can tell that the good nuns taught you well LOL  . Not sure what they'd think of the re-make  , but if they were anything like the nuns I've known in the past  , some of them (if you know the ones I mean LOL  ) would probably approve!!!

PS - David, If you don't post this "Hail Jack & Ennis" over at Chez Tremblay, then I will

The year was 1969. The place was  Saint Matthew's Catholic School, Indianapolis Indiana.

Sister Marie Michael. She was my first grade teacher. She was an old nun who would rock back and forth in place as she stood in front of the class. She was mean (but of course nearly all of those nuns were mean). She had black pointy "witches shoes" and she used to kick me in my ankles with them. OUCH!!! 

I received a few swift "rappings" across my knuckles with her pointer a few times too, along with having my mouth sealed shut with masking tape if she felt I was talking too much.

I ate my homework a few times too. Yeah, ATE IT... literally. 

She had a paddle with holes in it. She would paddle us with it in front of the entire class. That REALLY hurt! 

Oh yeah, I remember those nuns Kerry! 

Sister Theresa Claire was really mean too!

I have software called "SunClock" installed on my desktop. Whenever I'm in contact with anyone overseas, I just look-up their profile to see where they're located and then consult the SunClock map, which I always have running in the background. The software is free. Do a search for SunClock in Google.
