Last night's post was very long, so tonight, we are getting straight to it:
Here are the scores:
Judy: 2 for being right, 3 for being first with St. Claire, 1 for being third with "corporate Lawyer"=6
John: 2 for being right, 3 for being first with Mr. Baxter, 2 for being second with St. Claire=7
Stacy: 2 for being right, 2 for being second with Mr.Baxter, 1 for being third with St. Claire=5
Those three swept up all the speed points. Once again, nicely done. Judy, John and Stacy seem determined to stay at the top. I am impressed with their speed and accuracy and even more impressed by their jokes.
Chris, Tricia, Amy, SueChi, MrsSarge, Kim and Louis, all get your 2 points for being oh, so right.
Now, time for the Extra Credit:
Chris/Jamarcus: 2 EC points for not totally wasting our tuition dollars. Keep it up.=4 total points
Stacy: 3 EC points for answering some super hard questions--loved the 6 million dollar man. Farrah Fawcett blew that one big time. Leaving Lee Majors for that loser, son punching, druggie Ryan O'Neal.=8 total points
Judy: 5 big points for the Sr. Claire Mass watching glasses comments. I want me some of that action.=11 big, fat points for the night. I'm buying those glasses for Dave. Maybe it will keep him out from under the pews and off of his black berry during Mass.
Kim and Sue: I know this may be illegal, but since I invented this contest, I think I can do what ever I want. I am splitting the 10 EC points and giving each of you 5 EC points for announcing that you found the blog by googling that saint question. This was just amazing news for me. I swear, I will get that book deal yet.
So, that brings both of your point total's for tonight up to 7.
To all the rest of you, please keep the jokes coming, especially anything that has to do with a bar. And if you could throw in some more swearing, that would be great too.
Before it gets too late, here are tonight's questions:
- What Catholic religious order did Martin Luther belong to before he broke from the church?
- This is a three parter sent to me by that great Trivia Expert Brian Pond. You must have all three parts answered correctly to get full credit--and to get speed points. 1)What is the name of the Indian boy in the episode when Cindy and Bobby get lost in the Grand Canyon?2)What did Bobby and Cindy pack for food on their trip and 3)where did they store the food? Best Brady Bunch episode ever.
Have at these brain benders--good luck. thanks for all the jokes and keep them up.
Today's Top Ten:
- Crab Cakes--love them
- The original Sperry Top siders--the perfect summer shoe for guys
- Levi's 501s shrink to fit jeans in sand color
- Diane Keaton--she's so good and looks amazing, really amazing for her age.
- pale pink tulips
- Cheryl's frosted easter cookies
- Stacy's mustard--I told her I'd put it in the top ten
- Haagen Daz ice cream bars (tomorrow is the official cheat day on my diet, and I am having one of these for breakfast--can not wait)
- Rugby
- Rugby shirts--check out the ones from Canterbury of New Zealand. They are pretty sweet.
Enjoy the weekend. Next questions will be posted on Sunday. Rest up, people. We are heading into the home stretch.

A pirate walks into a bar, and he's got a steering wheel sticking out of his pants. The bartender sees him and asks, "Hey, what's that steering wheel doing there?" The pirate says, "Aaarrrr, it's driving me nuts."
ReplyDeleteThey hid hot dogs in Bobby's sweatshirt pockets and beans inside the flashlight.
ReplyDeleteWho knew we'd be watching The Brady Bunch tonight?
ReplyDeleteIt's should have titled: The Bratty Bunch
ReplyDeleteNice suechi! It was just beans in the flashlight. Hot Dogs in the pockets. See for yourself in this you tube post.

How do you guys find all of these answers so fast? And I know have seen that Brady Bunch episode a hundred times and don't remember any of this stuff--not the Indian kid, no hot dogs, flashlights or beans. I swear, I've had a stroke or I'm the Manchurian candidate.
ReplyDeleteA man who smelled like a distillery flopped on a subway seat next to a priest. The man's tie was stained, his face was plastered with red lipstick, and a half empty bottle of gin was sticking out of his torn coat pocket. He opened his newspaper and began reading. After a few minutes, the disheveled guy turned to the priest and asked, "Say, father, what causes arthritis?"
ReplyDelete"Mister, it's caused by loose living, being with cheap, wicked women, too much alcohol and a contempt for your fellow man."
"Well I'll be." the drunk muttered, returning to his paper.
The priest, thinking about what he had said, nudged the man and apologized. "I'm very sorry. I didn't mean to come on so strong. How long did you have arthritis?"
"I don't have it father. I was just reading here that the Pope does."
Laurie--when you are off this diet--we'll make you some killer crabcakes--Chip is famous for his.
ReplyDeleteAll can sleep easier tonight--the government is not shutting down--Angela and Brendan will be happy--they had been told no one would get paid. Politics---arrgh!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe hot dogs and beans weren't really packed for their trip--they snuck away after they had been found to bring Jimmy some food. Beans around the campfire--brings back memories of yet another campfire scene in Blazing Saddles ....
ReplyDelete2)jimmy pakay
ReplyDeletebeans in a flash light
on 2 July 1505, he was on horseback during a thunderstorm and a lightning bolt struck near him as he was returning to university after a trip home. Later telling his father he was terrified of death and divine judgment, he cried out, "Help! Saint Anna, I will become a monk!" He came to view his cry for help as a vow he could never break. He left law school, sold his books, and entered a closed Augustinian friary in Erfurt on 17 July 1505.[18]
ReplyDeleteJimmy Pakay, beans in a flashlight and hotdogs in bobby's pockets
Laurie I am thinking cheryls frosted cookies anytime or season is #1. 3 more weeks and I can have some of those!!!!!!!!! I'll meet you on your cheat day and we can go into a sugar coma together!!!!!!!!!
Add hot dogs in Bobby's pocket - gross.
ReplyDeleteThe beans in the flashlight sound just as tasty - wonder if they tasted like rusty batteries? Double gross.
ReplyDelete1) Augustinian Order

ReplyDeleteAlso, I wasn't allowed to comment on this blog for some reason all day yesterday/today. My heart broke a little.

Hey - we went to St. Mark's 4:00 mass tonight as it fit nicely into our schedule...
ReplyDeleteA. I have to confess that the cantor is actually a St. Anne's parishioner. Uh, my apologies. For what it's worth, she seems like a very nice person.
B. Was the priest pausing after every third word for effect or was he suffering a series of very small strokes? I prayed for his good health when I lost focus.
C. Did that little guy have a set of screaming lungs on him, or what? Impressive tenacity for a toddler. And one impressive mother, as I would certainly have lost it completely in that situation.
D. Raise your hand if you accidentally stood up after the Memorial Acclamation???
Ahhh, good times. Good times.
Three blonds walk into a bar. Which is odd... you'd think one of them would have seen it there.
ReplyDeleteI almost attended 4 pm at St. Mark but I got a special dispensation to watch the Masters. In Chapter FOUR of "Modern Theology", I explain how God understands the importance of The First Major. For golfers, Augusta is heaven and just being able to see it on TV for four days is better than a sabbatical to recharge you for the upcoming season of almosts. So because I will almost get a hole in one this year, almost break 75, almost get two birdies in a row, almost play a round without losing at least one ball and almost complete a round without swearing. I will take a church mulligan and use it to enjoy a Tradition Like No Other.... The 2011 Masters.
ReplyDeleteJohn--there's a new thing called a DVR--you can watch it later, but no matter, they actually have masses on Sunday too! Are those Masters leaders young or what?
ReplyDeleteI went to mass even though the Masters were on, because I'm a good, god-loving person. And by god-loving, I mean God loves me, and I love God, and he loves me getting Extra Credit. Amen.
ReplyDeleteIf I record anything on the DVR, I never get to it again. Said state of affairs I suppose. As all of you know, I picked young Rory McIlroy to add Green to his closet. Time to watch and see if he can hold on or if he runs away with it. Gonna be a great afternoon!!!
ReplyDeleteLouis- nice free form prayer. Those are the best kind. Chapter 7 of "Modern Theology" focuses on the power of Prayerful Rhetoric.
Thanks John, it just kind of came to me and I went with it. Figured it was a worth a shot to mention that EC, and I mean, it is the "HOLY and Lowly" challenge, have to name-drop God wherever possible. Not gonna not.
ReplyDeleteSuechi - you tell John! I drove by the grotto/shrine to Mary by Tenuta's today - does that get us any church points? BTW I am Terri K's baby cousin - you took some great photos at Lindsey's wedding. Also, your daughter Kathryn was wonderful to my son John when he was at Nash. He totally has a crush on her.
ReplyDeleteWell... we are in the home stretch and just finishing the last minute touches. Can't wait for those of you who come to our practice to see it. Only say good things, though, my ego is pretty fragile these days and has taken a beating through this project. :>) Laurie, could have used a vat of Long Islands to drown in last night, though. Instead settled for a couple of Captain Morgan's & Dt Coke. Didn't want to do the stint in rehab just yet.
ReplyDelete1) Order of St. Augustine

Loved that episode!
mrssarge - I for one can not wait to see the new digs! I hope no one hurt themselves moving my son Andrew's file. It's so large that it can't be kept with my other kids' files :( He's worth it though.
ReplyDeleteA priest and a nun are on their way back home from a trip when their car breaks down. They are unable to get it fixed, so they decide to spend the night in a hotel. The only hotel in the town has only one room available.
ReplyDeletePriest: Sister, I don't think the Lord would have a problem, under the circumstances, if we spent the night together in this one room. I'll sleep on the lounge and you have the bed.
Nun: I think that would be okay.
They prepare for bed and each one takes their agreed place in the room. Ten minutes later...
Nun: Father, I'm terribly cold.
Priest: Okay, I'll get you a blanket. (He does)
Ten minutes later...
Nun: Father, I'm still terribly cold.
Priest: Okay Sister, I'll get you another blanket. (He does)
Ten minutes later...
Nun: Father, I'm still terribly cold. I don't think the Lord would mind if we act as man and wife just for this one night.
Priest: You're probably right...get up and get your own blanket.
KABOOM!!! Did you hear that. That was young Rory's game imploding!
ReplyDeleteGood thing the course is still a wonder to look at and it looks like anyone can win this thing. Still watching the magnificence that is Augusta.
BTW St. Andrew is the patron saint of Golf and just to give you your swearing fix Laurie, here is a link to the classic Robin Williams skit about the creation of the greatest game in the world. GOLF!

I can relax a little more tonight. I was at a surprise 60th birthday party Friday night....and I was dying because it was almost 7:00pm and time to log on the Blog. I finally couldn't stand it and I asked if I could use their computer. So....I sat staring at the screen for 2 hrs. and everyone wanted to know what I was waiting for....they all were quite impressed with the contest...I tried to explain it...so they all wanted to know what the questions were when you finally posted them! Hopefully you will get a few new followers!
ReplyDeleteOh...and I will add "hot dog" on to my answer.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tricia-Kathryn loved him and you-that was a great wedding. Love taking pics at weddings-so much happiness and love.
ReplyDeleteWow - Kathryn mentioned us to you? Should I be embarrassed or feel special? As a matter of fact I emailed her a few weeks ago for some advice - John has been dealing with some bullying. Kids are so mean. I'm ready for middle school to be over with!
ReplyDeleteOnly good things-she was so impressed with you - hope she got back to you- she is usually good about that!
ReplyDeleteKathryn got back to me right away - she had some great ideas for me. Speaking of weddings, don't you have one coming up soon? Which girl, when?
ReplyDeleteYou're all invited to mine and Sky's wedding, btw.
ReplyDeleteYou can wake up anytime, Louis.
ReplyDeleteDoes Skylar even know that you exist?
ReplyDeleteSo much hostility (I still suggest negative ec points for that)... and I am fully awake and aware of the endless possibilities.
ReplyDeleteDid you read, "She's Just Not That Into You"?
ReplyDeleteSomone's not getting VIP to our reception/party wedding.
ReplyDeleteLouis, Emily heard that Skylar read the blog and she does want to meet you-a sense of humor or a serious interest? Time will telll. We're coming up on our 2nd ND wedding and Mr and Mrs McKeon we'd there too, so we can all give you some hints
ReplyDeleteLouis...Hey...we're bff on this blog...aren't we?
ReplyDeleteTricia, Claire is getting married on 7/9 @ND- coming up fast. I will tell you leaving Nash was hardest for her because of you and your son--is he not at Nash anymore?
ReplyDeleteOf course,... kind of sorta, we're on a thin line due to the lack of belief in my blossoming relationship....
