Another Otis holiday: Gandy Gras, a Mardi Gras party hosted by Gandy ("Make sure there's no beer in the picture, I'm Presbyterian").
Gandy: Who's ready for King's Cake? Now, I usually get all my ingredients from Jerry Lee's but it blew down in the hurricane, so I had to improvise a little. I couldn't get purple for the top, so it's green, gold and FEMA blue. Also, I couldn't find a King's Cake baby in time, so, instead, there's a Colonel Mustard piece from the CLUE game in here.
I'd never had King's Cake before, but my slice had the yellow CLUE game piece, the baby, baked into it.
Me: What does it mean exactly? I get good luck?
Shelly: Yeah. You're lucky all year. The year Brendan got it every play he was in was Jeff nominated. The year I got it I beat cancer.
At the end of the night I left Colonel Mustard at Gandy's place, in case he wants to play a game of CLUE, but hopefully the luck followed me home.
I'm probably projecting, though.
