Hucks: Wrestler saves nativity scene
My Sunday Huckleberries print column began with a story you read here online first last week:
Pat Kuhns, of Coeur d’Alene, was on a mission last week when she hit thrift stores seeking an appropriate angel for her home manger
scene. She wanted one like Michael or Gabriel, from the Bible. A dude. But the secondhand angels at the thrift shops depicted either beautiful women that would be at home on a “Charlie’s Angels” set or baby cherubs. So Pat went to Plan B – superhero dolls she could dress as angels. But she was foiled again. Superheroes usually wear masks. The angels in Scripture don’t (although their superhero powers would make Superman look like a wimp). Finally, Pat turned to the WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment). She found a WWE wrestler Chris Jericho doll that was spot on – beautiful, blond and smiling. (Editor’s note: Most pro wrestling dolls have frowny faces.) As a bonus, Pat told Huckleberries, Jericho has a biblical name: Chris sounds like Christian. And Jericho was the Old Testament town that served as roadkill for the children of Israel. Next, Pat bought a female doll, stripped her down to her halo, and cross-dressed the Jericho doll. Then, she added two snowmen angels to complete her heavenly host. Huckleberries isn’t sure how many angel snowmen have appeared to worshippers through the millennia. But Pat was happy – and that’s all that matters.
