It’s Ash Wednesday, and Bones is coming home from School. Some big kids are standing there. One of them points at Bones, and says: “Yo, there’s one of them cat-lickers.” Bones doesn’t know what to make of that, he goes home and asks Mom what a cat licker is. Mom sits him down, and tells him that their making fun of him because he a Catholic. She explains about all the holy saints, and how they died defending the faith. She tells him that no matter how big they are, he has to fight them, he has to be a defender of the faith. He goes right out and starts hitting the big guy that called him a cat-licker. The big kids beat him to a pulp. Bones feels good about that. He feels like he’s a true defender of the faith. Bobby |

Thanks Tao power, I'm sorry to hear you can't find the beginning of the Bones thread. You'll have to wait until the book comes out. I will give you a hint, Bones is a person. Don't be too confused, while many people treat Bones like a dog, he's a very human boy prostitute. Of course being confused is not a good thing. I wish you the best of luck with that.
