Blinded by the light

Our first full day in Vegas!

This town is full of glamor and glitz. There are lights and sounds and stars everywhere, and it is easy to get caught up in the whirlwind without even being aware. For instance, the sounds on the slot machines make Jason keep singing the Super Mario Brothers theme every time he walks through the Hilton casino, and he doesn't even know why. Jay is working feverishly to get a new song stuck in his head.

Arriving at the Hilton, Jason was awestruck and fell down to worship The King.

Until Jay pointed out that this was the wrong King and worshiping false idols is, like, so way wrong and stuff. But Jason wouldn't hear of it!

"Jay, I just can't help believing."

"But Jason, you are worshiping Elvis, not God! You'll get in trouble."

"I know, but he's got me all shook up."

"He's just a singer, Jason. I mean, would you worship Barry Manilow?"

"Now that's too much, Jay. Barry is an award winning songwriter and performer and all, but compared to Elvis' performances he is nothing but a hound dog."

"You've got to stop this, Jason. It's now or never."

"I can't. He's always on my mind."

Knowing there was nothing he could do, Jay prayed for help. Sometimes when we pray for help God sends us patience or guidance or strength. In this particular case Jay received a Klingon.

"Jason, I hate that it has come to this, but I feel like I've lost you."

"Hey now, don't be cruel!"

"I'm just trying to get to you."

"Thanks Jay, and you have. I'm in a mess of blues. Can we leave this heartbreak hotel?"

And so they did, going back to their hotel in a long black limousine.

It was a difficult day for our duo, but Jay and Jason learned a valuable lesson about friendship, faithfulness, and the dangerous allure of sequined jumpsuits.
