HOLY AND LOWLY: ON THE FLY

OK, don't stone me. I know that I am running a little late with today's questions, but I have a very good excuse. I spent the entire day with my sister Wendy, helping her look at furniture for her new and totally awesome house. It was a full day's work, with many more days to come. Choosing the absolute right piece whether it be clothes, accessories, furniture, or jewelry takes some serious time and for me, is much more than a hobby, much more than a job, rather it's somewhat of a calling or a full blown vocation. I take my role as "the decider" very seriously and cannot be rushed. On the bright side, Dave McKeon is so very grateful that I am spending someone else's money (today)--Sorry, Tim Nickels, he loves you like a brother, and there is no one he'd rather share beers with at the Dockside, but Dave would still rather I spend your money than his.

Today's results:
Chris/J'marc: You are killing me, son. How do you know these trivia answers? You were the first to answer both questions right, so TWO points for correctness, SIX points for promptitude. Whopping EIGHT points in one night.  Go ahead, you earned it...
Sara: Very smart play, sister. Cheating off of J'marc, quickly--excellent strategy. For that you earn your TWO correctness points plus FOUR big points for speed. total: SIX--you are climbing the charts.
John: Nice try with the fake answer to throw off the pack, Didn't work this time, but I like the thought. You did answer both questions correctly and were the third blogger to do so, so kudos to you and congrats on the FOUR total points.
This is going to be a race to the finish. Keep it up.
Judy, Sue, Amy, Stacy, MrsSarge, Tricia and Louis: TWO points for all of you. Hey, has anyone heard from Kim today? Hope all is ok. I hate for her to miss her points. She is such a true competitor. I miss her chat.

Here are the extra credit points for today:
Judy: SIX ginormous EC points--so close to being in the quick three, so great for egging on the boys, nice multiple comments and big props for mentioning Monk Malloy--I am trying to get Nate McKeon to be Monk 2.0, but his jump shot isn't quite there yet...EIGHT  total points tonight for Jpulera. Watch your back, Chris...she's making her move.
Tricia: TWO points for mentioning abstinence--when my kids were little, I used to say that we should have been a stop on the abstinence tour. After spending a few short hours with the McKeon kids, American teens would totally reconsider having sex. FOUR total points--funny how you and John often seem to tie...great minds or what?
Amy: TWO bonus points for not practicing abstinence. It is so nice to laugh at someone else's kids for a change. Love that Ava...she's the best. FOUR  total points for you as well. Way to stay in the hunt.

Now, here are today's questions: Told you I'd be speedy:
  1. Who is responsible for ending the persecution of Christians? (lifted straight from ACRE)
  2. In 1980, two very well known teenage actresses starred in a movie together. In that movie, one of them lost something. What did she lose, and who did she lose it to? Name the actresses as well, please.
Now, only 36 minutes late. I am posting this up. J'marc should still be at work. Let's win this one for the grownups. Go, go, go, go....there's no time for a top ten today, just get out there and win this thing...

    And I totally remember that movie, and also remember when Kristi aka "Buddy" on Family had that curly haired boyfriend (TJ? maybe) that she lost her virginity to while that Rod Stewart song "Tonight's the Night" was playing...Kristi really got around.

Just think, Jamarcus, you could be basking in that Lady Irish glow if you were only man enough to practice with the women's team. Don't say Muffy didn't ask...

    jpulera, don't tell my wife. btw when i mentioned the costumes it was the lack of fabric i was referring too, not the glitter.

    Amy, not only can you learn more about theology from my best seller "Modern Theology" but my next book, "The Miracle of Duct Tape, 1001 Parenting Tips and Tricks" will be available for the iPad in the Summer. You can also buy the premium edition that comes with a life like robotic Andrew. If you know Sarah or Brian they can explain.

  61. AmyMarch 28, 2011 at 7:55 PM

    Will there also be an app for that? I look forward to the duct tape lessons and it's particularly timely as I threatened my 3 yr old with it earlier tonight. It was lost on her however since she doesn't know what that is.

    Sadly, I know neither Sarah nor Brian. I'm part of the family that remains hidden away but I blame my husband and our spawn for that.

    OK, Jamarc- and your little friend Louis-no dissing the women's sports. While I appreciate your laser like focus on your GPA, just admit that you have avoided working out with the women's team because you are afraid that the Lady Irish will kick your ass.

    who also happens to be married to his first wife, has four daughters, organized a charity to bring clean water to Third World countries and is a former Sexiest Man Alive...

    with Matt Dillon...

    who had a three year relationship with Cameron Diaz in the late nineties, got arrested for speeding, and has freakishly angular features.
