HOLY AND LOWLY: LAST SUPPER

I know, this isn't actually the last supper, (and I know that the Last Supper actually is commemorated on Holy Thursday, so don't be sending me any emails or corrections. It just makes a nice title) but it is the last night of questions. Sorry to be posting so late. Long day, still jet lagged AND I spent the last several hours trying to find the answer to that Liz Lemon question. John, did she really say she could read people minds?? I thought she said she was a hologram...that was the answer I was looking for, but I must confess, John always seems to find some other answer that I didn't know existed, and then I have to apologize and eat my words and award EC points for my errors. So, I'm just giving everyone credit for the answer John said, because even after watching hours of 30 Rock video, I still can't find anything saying she can read people's minds, and the only thing I saw about jury duty was the excerpt from last night, where Liz Lemon, dressed as Princess Leia, said she was a hologram....But in reality, who are we kidding? the correctness points don't really mean shit anymore, it's all about the Extra Credit.

Last night's/today's comments were beyond excellent. I loved the poems, the jokes, the banter, the "remember whens" and all the love. Do not worry, there will be many posts and I will start another contest in May sometime..so none of us ever really have to say good bye. But I do think Stacy is right, we may need a little break after this one. Imagine, while you all are waiting for me to post up, I am simultaneously trying to make dinner, listen to Posey chatter about the latest Littlest Pet Shop animal, getting a rugby recap from Jack, pretending like I care about Dave McKeon's work life, watching prime time TV,  folding laundry, and scoring the blog...it's harder than it looks. And scoring the comments from last night's post was the hardest yet.

A little aside to Tricia: Do not feel bad about getting the "tooth brushing" letter from Dr. Crawford. We've gotten that a million times. It's a total boy thing. They never brush well enough and two of our boys have actually swallowed pieces of their braces that "somehow" broke off. No big deal. But here is our best Dr. Crawford story. a few years ago, Jack was getting his recheck from Dr. Crawford and was between sets of braces (yes, one set of braces is never enough for the McKeon children...we like to do two and sometimes three phases of orthodontia...I was so proud when Dr. Crawford's daughter graduated from dental school, because I know that I single handedly  paid her tuition...). Dr. Crawford did his examination of Jack to make sure that he was ready for round two, and said, "Well, Jack, I can tell that you haven't been wearing your retainer" and Jack looked at him and said in all seriousness: "I have a retainer???" That about sums up the relationship between boys and their braces..

Now, scoring tonight is rather tricky, because several of you have stopped actually answering the questions and instead, provide big sweeping paragraphs with the answer implied or embedded. (this means you, Brenna/Kim and sometimes Sue) and again, while correctness is only worth a few points, it does factor into the speed points, which can add up ...so I've done my best to try and keep track..Here goes:
John: 2 for being right (as long as the mind reading thing is correct--and I'm not sure it is, but I'm afraid to say it's not) and 6 for being first with both--total thus far: 8
Judy: 2 for being correct and I'm giving you 3 also for the Liz Lemon "dress funny and talk in a funny voice answer" but I'm not sure if you ever said the "harrowing of Hades" which should be the answer to the Holy question but then again you had a bunch of holy stuff in your answer, so I gave you correctness points and only one speed point Your total= 6
Suechi: 2 for being correct, and I gave you 4 speed points because I think you were second with both answers, again, as long as the whole "reading minds" thing is correct. Your total=6
Tricia: 2 for being correct )thanks for using the 1.  2.. format. Makes my job much easier...and I gave you the 1 speed point for the Liz Lemon thing...your total 3.
Sara, Mrs. Sarge, Kim, Louis--You all get two correctness points (again, based on the premise that John has some deep insight into Liz Lemon's jury duty episode that I couldn't find...if anyone knows otherwise, feel free to let me know)

I just want to let you know, that you all can feel free to appeal the correctness and speed scoring, if it comes down to a one point difference and I will gladly hear your case...but the EC points are totally subjective and all up to me...And here is how I've divvied up the 200 BIG, BIG points.

Brian: 10 points for providing answers to questions I should have asked--and anyone who brings up Chet Copick is a friend of mine. Your total tonight--10
Louis: 10 EC points for all of your random comments, for letting us eavesdrop on your love life, and for making us all laugh. ...12 for you
Mrs.Sarg: 20 EC points in sympathy for the broken furnace, for all the niceness, and for the Easter memories--22 points for you as well.
Kim: 20  EC points for all of the Holy comments and for confessing that you don't know who Liz Lemon is...nice to know someone's life is not ruled by television=22 for you
Judy: 20 for you. The failed lamb cakes make me laugh repeatedly. I'm with John, just go buy one...26 for you tonight
Tricia: 30 EC points for you. The USC jokes were a riot, and I too am so over the whole low carb thing. It  worked for a while, but now, I'm going no where with it and just want to eat a box of donuts..33 for you. Have you caught up to John yet? I hope Stacy is updating the chart, because I've totally lost track.
Sue: 40 very big points for you. So excellent with the poem, I totally loved it and I will make that egg thing for Easter and promise I will cook the sausage.
Stacy: 50 EC points for your masterpiece. It is a work of art and I couldn't have enjoyed it more. ..I only with I had more EC left to give you. Like I said, you have set the EC bar very high...keep it up.

Scoring tonight was beyond difficult. There are another 200 points to be awarded for tonight's questions. These are the last set and I'm hoping to make them good. I will then score tomorrow and announce the winners sometime on Sunday. (I hope Stacy has updated "the chart" or it may take me a little while),

Here are tonight's questions:
1. What is the most important Mass of the liturgical year?
2. Abby McClure is a single mother who begins to date again. At one point in the film, Abby's suitor comes over to discuss why she's giving him the brush off. Name: 1. the film, 2. The actress who plays Abby, 3. Abby's suitor and 4. name the two items he brings with him to woo her back...
Sorry this is being posted so late. I'm trying to find great questions and trying to be fair with the scoring , the EC and the whole deal. No top ten...again...it's just so late. I will give you guys all day tomorrow and well into the night to answer the questions. I will very fittingly reveal the winners early on Easter Sunday morning--
Good luck with that 4 parter and don't forget...now is the time to WOW me with your EC prowess...good, good luck to all...you are playing for the booze...and a bunch of other stuff..
