HOLY AND LOWLY: THE MUSICAL

Once again, great comments, great banter and great theology. It's Friday night, my friends and I want to update the tally board and get these questions posted pronto, and let the weekend begin.

Without further ado, John Heinzmann obviously never sleeps and he once again answered both questions first and right. FOUR big points for John. For a late entry, he has certainly made up for lost time. John, thanks for the "tech" support, but I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. I hit that mobile device thing, and it was all down hill from there. You may want to refresh your recollection of the early days of the blog when I had that background with the scary birds on it because I did not know how to put in photos. I still don't, but young Jamarcus handled it. I would like to give you some extra credit for the advice, but until I can actually understand, and then implement said advice, I fear that extra credit may be a little premature.

Sara, Kim, Stacy, Sue, Judy, Tricia, the sons (Jamarcus and Louis) and Mrs. Sarge--JUST IN THE NICK OF TIME) all answered both questions correctly and get their two hard earned points. In a little aside to Mrs. Sarge, Jason owes you way more than a Burberry purse. And Dave McKeon would be lucky to have you on his team, but let me warn you, not only did he go to the school of extreme stinginess, (as his son pointed out) but he got his PhD from  the school of Hard Ass Boss.

Jane gets one point, as she nailed the Regis Philbin question, but the ACRE test did not mention of John Michael at all when referring to the Homily. Yes, I was surprised, too. However, because she made me laugh, Jane gets ONE big extra credit point.

The other NINE points are awarded as follows:
TWO big, big points to Kim Pechous (again) for the multi comment posts. This blogger loves to see her hit count go up. And she is not too proud to get 100 hits from the same person...not too proud at all...I also am intrigued by the slightly communist approach of sharing the prizes. Interesting.
THREE even bigger points for Stacy. Her Gordy's Pub comment was the best. I busted out laughing---and she had the same reaction I did when I realized that Regis, the man who has been on TV more than any other human being, the man who constantly talks up Notre Dame, the man who put up with Kathi Lee during both of her pregnancies with those two obnoxious kids, gave a puny 2.75 mil for DEPAC (as it is referred to by those of us in the ND know) which wasn't even 5% of the total costs. "Jeeez, Reeg, you're kind of a cheap ass"
Finally, FOUR enormous extra credit points go to Sara Pond!!. Welcome back, Sara. I admire your efforts to try to answer these questions without the assistance of Google, wikipedia or cheating....yeah, good luck with that. I admire even more your way with the expletive.

Congrats to all the winners. Remember, no questions tomorrow night, so these are the last two questions for the week--and if the title did not tip you off, they are musically based. Here goes:

1. In the Song of Songs, where does Solomon say his vineyard is located? (it has the word song in it, that's as good as I could do. I know even less about liturgical music than I do about the Bible)
2. As you all know, Steven Tyler of Aerosmith is now a judge on American Idol. (did you guys see it last night? I did not, but in case you do not watch this form of American entertainment, Steven Tyler is the judge that looks like a girl).  Aerosmith's tune "Dude Looks Like a Lady" was written about what rock and roller? (and it is not Steven Tyler).  

Good Luck, Happy Friday, I will have a total point tally for the week on Monday so you can all know EXACTLY where you stand. It's pretty nip and tuck so tonight's points are critical. Let's just see who is first today.

And now, today's Top Ten:

1. Naked burritos from Qdoba. They are really good, and full of protein.
2. Burberry's classic check rain boots--just got Posey another pair
3. Gordy's Pub--all day long.
4. Chuck Pechous--world's nicest basketball coach. Coach Pechous led the 5th grade Little Lady Lancers to a 1-?? season. Despite the fact that their point total for the entire season was under 30, Chuck never punched a ref or threw a chair. Actually, he was amazing with the girls, many of whom did not realize that you had to dribble the ball as you walked...great season, Coach
5. Jamarc for saying I looked like a college friend of Angelas. Total lie, but I'm a sucker for a compliment
6. Towels hot out of the dryer
7. This month's GQ, great mag, seriously
8. Kimba Walker--I am so not a UConn fan, but Kimba is for real
9. Barbour quilted coats and waxed jackets.  These are a fav of the London crowd. I have the navy trench. Way cool and classic. They also make hunting bags, in case you need one.
10. Sandra Bullock and her son Louis--Jesse James who???

Have a great weekend. Look for the next set of questions Sunday night. Go, go, run like the wind to be the first to post....
