HOLY AND LOWLY: HIGH LEVEL MATH

Due to a school meeting, I was unable to post this up until right now. Sorry, about that but as the keeper of the blog, I am working hard to make sure that all those who may work late, have serious obligations or are otherwise so engaged (really, though, what is more important than answering these vital questions on this life altering blog??) have the chance to get their answers in before I send out the new questions, (I'm not leaving Mrs. Sarge out of the fun) but I also want to avoid those late night posts, because they are just brutal. So, as a loose rule, and I'm all about the loose rules, look for the next day's questions some time between 7 and 9ish each night (except Saturday night...). You're welcome.

Admit it, yesterday's "Little Darlings" trivia question was pretty awesome and sparked much blog traffic, comments and confessions....And who knew that the special '70s show "Family" would prove to be just as thought provoking today as it was back then...Good Blog Times, Good Blog Times..

Now, with this new scoring system, I am pretty much doing some high level accounting functions to tally the scores. It would sure make my life easier if the same person could answer BOTH questions first, etc. But, because I love you all, am super fair and do like to mix it up, I will continue to do this upper level math. And I am still trying to figure out the easiest way to type this all up, with the Regular Points, the Early Bird Poi:nts and that all important Extra Credit. 

Tonight, new format: Who are we kidding? No one ever gets the questions wrong, because you are all a big bunch of cheaters, (and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that). It's all about the speedy points and the EC. So, John, Stacy, Jarmarcky-Mark, Sara, Judy, Amy, Tricia, Mrs.Sarge, Louis, Jane, and Kim--you all get your compulsory TWO points. Excellent. Also, I think that one of Sue's lovely daughters buzzed in for her (was that you, Angela, or was it Emily? Claire? Katherine??) so she, too gets her TWO big points.

John--First with the Holy Question: Constantine the Great, (THREE points for that), and Second with the "Little Darlings" Question-(TWO more points for that) bringing your point total for the night up to (SEVEN).  Oooh, College Boy is hearing footsteps....
Tricia--First with the Kristi McNichol, Matt Dillon, Tatum O'Neill answer so an extra THREE points for that, bringing your night total up to FIVE. It looks like a Heinzmann kind of night. Way to tag team it for total point domination...though your son went to bed late, I'm sure it was well worth it to rake in TWELVE big, big points for the family.
Jamarcus--Second with the Holy question, busted on the Little Darlings--you were first, but you were wrong. It's more than a little ironic that the same technology that allows you to jump in first burned you with it's autotext feature. As Stacy so aptly points out, Matt Dillon and Matt Damon aren't even in the same hemisphere... TWO points for being number two, and a FOUR point night--which would have been great last week, but in the new world order, is barely keeping up....
Stacy--consistency is thy name--Third to answer both questions (thanks for making that a little easier for me) ONE extra point per question, bringing your night's point total up to FOUR.  Well done,

Man, this race is getting tight....Allow me to further complicate the matter by awarding the extra credit:


Here goes:
 FOUR  huge EC points for whoever it was (Angela, Emily, Claire, Katherine, undercover Sue??) that awarded me "Best Dressed" and "Best Gift" from the shower. You all know my weakness for the whole Best Dressed thing, and I also take my gift buying very seriously. Public recognition of these two undervalued skills will always garner EC points...I think these points go to Sue....You did your part, she owes you one.
The following people each get ONE big EC point, (hey, man, there were a ton of comments, SO hard to narrow it down to just a few people...
Tricia--ONE point for noting Kristi McNichols sexual orientation--new news to me
Judy--ONE point for taking the lesbian theme and running with it
John--ONE point for confessing to your secret Kristi McNichol crush--this blog is all about sharing
Stacy--ONE point for confessing to the Matt Damon crush--confession is king
Kim--ONE point for owning up to some Matt Dillon love
MrsSarge--ONE point to you, too, for admitting to crushing on Matt Dillon AND Patrick Swayze

There you have it. Once again, a BIG night for the Heinzmanns. Lessons learned: EC points have been rewarded more than once for comments regarding Laurie or Posey's wardrobes, and EC points are also often frequently rewarded for sharing odd facts and personal, secret crush information...just trying to discern some trends here. This blog is all about self awareness.

Here are tonight's questions:

1.  Who was the only person saved from the battle of Jericho?
2. Who was Al Gore's  college roommate? and where did they go to college?

These are super easy. I'm trying to give everybody a fighting chance. Get going now, it's all up for grabs.
No time for a Top Ten, just time for some great comments. Please don't disappoint me.
