MONDAY'S LENTERTAINMENT

I trust we all had a great weekend, and I trust that no one else has any friends who know how to vote on this blog, save Judy.  Please don't take this the wrong way, but honestly? Don't you all have ANY pride? SIX measly votes could have put you in second place for the voting--SIX--that's it.  I know there were a lot of great basketball games going on (Mercer?? Really??--and thanks a lot, Creighton. You not only let me down, but I'm pretty sure Pope Francis is pissed--he can't do all the heavy lifting on behalf of the Jesuits…I expect this sort of poor showing from those Augustinians at Villanova, but from the Jesuits? You're better than that.  No wonder Francis has taken up swearing.  --Hey, Meredith Regan, and Susan Roop, I am only kidding. I f'ing LOVE Jay Wright and am just pissed because they lost early--, but I was seriously  hoping Creighton would ride that McDermott kid into the Elite Eight at least..) However, back to my point--SIX points, people. It's not that much to ask.  Or should I just monogram that Tory Burch tote with Judy's initials right now? 

A little aside to Judy and her voters: Thanks for the Sr. Jovita stories.  Please share more, as I love a good nun tale, and look back a bit fondly on the days of Catholic school corporal punishment. I got a nun spanking in first grade for climbing to the top of the basketball hoop on the playground and hanging from the rim. (that nun also was institutionalized later that year, but that didn't mean I didn't deserve a firm crack on the ass)  And you are a super, impressive group. You need to funnel these energies into ruling a third world nation or finding that lost plane. Sr. Jovita would be proud. (and a bit scared) 

Now here are the standings as of today, before Photo Six.  Allow me to explain the Extra Credit: 
Linda got 20 points because she cast a vote for Ginny, in her special Linda way of camaraderie and kindness, Rob got 20 points because that ladder caption was so goddamn funny, and my helpers on Friday night loved ALL of his captions, Sue E got 20 because she got up so early in Turkey to make her captions, Michelle got 20 for overall consistency, and Ginny got 20 for her great caption and for that sweet cooler she gave us at the ND-Oklahoma game. And finally, Becky got 100 extra credit points because not only did she buy me boys their first cups for baseball, she was and is the best babysitter ever.  And we love her--always.  Again,  not at all fair, but it all makes sense to me.  Judy is pulling away from the pack.  Let's see who can catch her, or somehow get 100 of their own extra credit points to at least pull even with her.

AND WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, HERE IS PHOTO NUMBER SIX: 



 I'm not sure what this is all about, but I think it could generate some good captions, and its a bit Lenterbitchedup, for Joann's enjoyment.  (Have you all noticed that "O'Shidiots" would pretty much work for any of these photos?  Remind me to give Stacy more Extra credit … 

One, two, three, caption away.
