HOLY AND LOWLY: THE SAGA CONTINUES

I'm coming, I'm coming. Keep your pants on....Sorry, I was out with my lady friends celebrating someone's special Happy Birthday. We were out a little longer than I anticipated...Happy Birthday, Kristi Ambro, many happy returns.

Once again, fine, fine comments. Great answers. And speed is still King. You are all a masterful bunch of players and I am overwhelmed not only by your knowledge, (or ability to cheat, pilfer and lift knowledge) but by your tenacity and strategic gamesmanship. Oh, I  was prepared for Jamarcus, Judy and Louis to fight to the death, but Stacy, John, Tricia and Kim??Who knew? And please, don't for one hot second count out Mrs. Sarge or Suechi.  Both of them know EXACTLY how to appeal just enough to my soft spots to garner maximum EC. Burberry jumper, indeed. (It's a mighty fine jumper, what I like to call an "investment piece"--it is kind of pricey, but it's a classic that I have and will wear often so it is amortized over several seasons and thus justifies the high sticker price. Try explaining that logic to Dave McKeon with a straight face--he so wasn't buying it....."You paid more for that jumper than I paid for my first car. An investment is a share in Berkshire-Hathaway, not a dress that looks like it was made from the sofa in my parents basement..."  Oh, well, some people just don't get it. Wait until I try to rationalize the LongChamp bag I just ordered....)

The answers to last night's questions were not all that hard, (nice try with the Joshua red herring, John) as long as your internet was working fast. I already knew the Tommy Lee Jones one because I find it just fascinating. All that Ivy League college roomie stuff. Did you know that Scout Willis (daughter of Bruce and Demi--though I'm sure you all knew that) was roommates with little Emma Watson of Harry Potter fame at Brown? Emma has since left school to model and act--shocker there)

With that fun fact in mind, here is the scoring: Chris, John, Judy, Sue, Amy, Mrs. Sarge, Tricia, Loius and Kim, all TWO big points. Where is Sara?? Should I be worried?

Stacy--Fast and Furious--first with both answers--that is a major SIX points for you. Excellent work. You are coming on...that's an EIGHT point night for you
John--Pretty fast and furious--second with both answers--FOUR additional points coming your way-SIX total for the night. Moving up fast
Judy--Third one to buzz in with the Trivia answer--ONE additional speed point---getting faster every night
Mrs.Sarge--That internet can't be too slow, ONE speed point for being third with the Rahab answer. (and yes, you were the first one to spell it right, but no, spelling does not count, nor does typing. I am weak at both, so I won't hold it against any of you)

Chris, sorry about the auto text mix up. but you live by the high tech, you die by the high tech. There are no retroactive points in this contest. Just get the answers right next time. Judy, I also apologize for not giving you credit for outing Kristi McNichol. My mistake. But to make everyone feel better, and try harder, and jump higher (and because I can never decide who gets the EC,)  I am awarding a total of FIFTEEN Extra Credit points tonight. Yeah, you read that right 15. And here is how they are going down:
Kim; FOUR big, big points for great detail, interesting subject matter and for bringing in Ivy League football, another one of my odd interests. (also, saying I looked fabulous sure didn't hurt your cause)
MrsSarge: FOUR big points for you, too. I liked your comments, I feel bad that you have to work so late, and I, too, would not turn down a date with Tommy Lee Jones. I would take a huge pass on his roommate, because Tricia is totally right that he can't dance, and that is a big issue for me. Along with many other things...like his big fat....carbon footprint...
The following contestants get ONE EC point:
Tticia: for being so honest about the scoring for last night AND for mocking Al's dancing
Judy: because I feel bad about not giving her credit for her Kristi McNichol comment
Stacy: for the awesome poem. I was rolling
John: because I can't resist those song montages
Jamarcus: because he mentioned Brian Kelly (Go, Irish--just please win some games)
Amy: because even sick she hits the blog, stakes her claim and  I LOVED the botox story...I'll take your botox, I need all the help I can get keeping that straight face while I explain my clothing expenses to Dave.
UpsideDown Kate: for copping to a crush on TLJ and the Joshua throw down. Remember Kate, we're all Catholics, we really don't know that much about the Bible...

THIS JUST IN: BREAKING NEWS: according to Sue Chiappetta who just called me, I am now over 20,000 hits!!!! it's a miracle. I am SO super excited. thank you all. There will be major EC points tomorrow!!!

And now, with no further delay (and again, I apologize for being late--blame the birthday girl and her upside down cake...

1. What do we call the Church's office which teaches on matters of faith and morals?
2. This is a two parter: A. Name the favorite 90s cartoon series that featured a 5th grade boy who lives in a boarding house with his grandparents. B. In one episode of this show, this boy and his family compete in a game show with  another family. Name the famous guest star/voice in that episode.

You must answer both parts to get full credit. No time for a top ten, I know you are all chomping at the bit for these questions. I promise you I was not using you to up the count, I was just distracted by the birthday fun....who we kidding?? Doesn't take much.

good luck--20K all the way....
