By lunch time, the booths were set up, the guests had arrived and there was quaint music playing from somewhere undetermined. Hawkeye is walking around with one of those portable microphone/speaker set-ups, roaming from booth to booth announcing the various guests that have come to Fandom to talk about their professions.

And despite what the mainland weather forecast said, it was definitely a nice, fine day.

"I'm sorry, Bible?"

"You don't know the..." Ned trails off and looks fairly short of breath. "Easy, Neddy, easy. We can educate him."

Hyperventilating, he runs out of the room to the nearest payphone and dials an all too familiar number.

"Reverand Lovejoy? It's me, Ned Flanders and I'm in a pickle of a crisis"

Pause.

"I'm terribly sorry to bother you during your birthday but there's a boy here who doesn't know what the bible is! What should I do, Reverand?"

Pause.

"Just tell him about. Why, that's a super idea. Thank you, Reverand!"

And before Briar knows it, Ned is back in front of him. "Why, the Bible is the good book. The spiritual guide. His written word!"

Briar had begun to look for a quick exist out of the booth without seeming too rude. "Oh. Um. Who's written word?"

"Oh my dear-diddily-dear," Ned says and wobbles. "Why, the main man," he says, trying to be hip. "The Man upstairs!"

"I didn't know the Green Man had a book." Briar said as politely as he could.

"Oh my dear-diddily-do-diddily-dear," Ned says, feeling faint. "While I'm sure this Green Man has a book, I'm talking about God."

Re: BUSINESSMAN/ENTERPRENEUR

Briar sighed. "The Green Man is a God."

Ned twitches. "Unless Green Man was some hip name Jesus called one of his apostles, then I think you might be wrong," Ned says gently.

Briar decided that this conversation was over. "It was very nice getting to talk to you, but I wanted to see some of the other booths as well. Good luck in your business!"
