NUNS HAVING FUN need your votes.

There were so, so many excellent captions, I had to call in reinforcements to assist in choosing the final TOP TEN---After a delightful family dinner of shrimp fajitas, queso blanco, massive amounts of guacamole and peach margaritas at La Fogata,  (yeah, the McKeons are really feeling the sacrifice of Lent in that Good Friday meal….however, it really was our only meal of the day--though I'm not quite sure how margaritas fit into the Lenten fasting rules…) I turned the blog over to Nate to get his opinion on the best of the best, asking that he mark his favorites before midnight.  While his siblings and their college cronies played Cards Against Humanity (another super appropriate Good Friday endeavor--though they did wait until midnight to start making meat based food) Nate got to work.  When I woke up this morning, here is what I found on my laptop: 

Hello my dear readers. My sweet mother Laurie was composing the final blog post when, out of nowhere, the ground opened up below her and she was swallowed into the depths of hell by a fire of Biblical proportions. This should be a warning to you all. Stay on your guard, any one of you could be next (Mr. Fredrickson). My main concern at the moment is figuring out how I’ll explain the gaping hole in the family room floor to my dad, because we all know that it’ll take some serious dough to fix this bad boy. I’ve taken it upon myself to complete the Lentertainment journey by posting the final Top Ten. You all have competed marvelously, and should be proud of yourselves. But not that proud. Only the winner can be truly proud. Without further ado, it gives my great honor to present to you the Top Ten of the final Lentertainment blog post. Let’s boogie:

 Before we "boogie" I must confess (Lent and all) that I edited Nate's TOP TEN this morning, turning it into a well deserved TOP FIFTEEN.  (Stacy really came to play--she had about 20 great captions all by  herself)  Also, my descent into Hell has been greatly exaggerated at this time--though it could be imminent, today is not that day. And I'm sorry to say this, but I fear more than a few of you will be joining me on that fast train to hell, as Rob nicely pointed out. But, I hope we've all enjoyed the ride. 

Here are the FINEST FIFTEEN--someone tell Karla so she can spend the whole day voting. The voting stops at MIDNIGHT!! at which time,  I will ruminate, tabulate, and congratulate the winners.  

Remember, ONE THOUSAND very important extra credit points will be awarded this round.  I am incredibly impressed by the quality of nun captions.  You have all outdone yourselves. Please continue with your winning ways during the voting section--It's not just about the quantity of votes--quality comments ALWAYS get noticed and often get REWARDED…Let's keep the LENTERTAINMENT coming and finish strong.
