It was a decent game , and more or less a competitive one. Anyways, Adriana won the match again, but by a very slim margin. As for me, I did slightly above average in the game, but didn’t have a clue in FJ.
What looked like a sure runaway for AH turned into a decent contest. Congrats to the two who got FJ; I thought it was a toughie.
The Badger State song was a relative softball, but it must have confused them. Didn’t expect them to know what hangs on the doorpost. I’ve worn the equivalent on a chain around my neck since age 13. Thought someone would know the deposed Cuban dictator.
And the anesthetized tabla was kinda obvious.
It sounded so weird to me to hear Ken say “extreme unction”. Believe it or not, I can’t recall ever hearing anyone say it like that. Everyone in the Catholic schools I went to said it like it was one word — extramunction.
After 1965, it was renamed the Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick but people mostly went with Last Rites.
My wife was a practicing Catholic, and when she appeared to be slipping away in 2013, I called and had the priest come over. But she pulled through and lived another 3 or so months.
You can get Anointing of the Sick more than once. That was a problem with “last rites” – not everyone knew you could get it more than once
I was just blanking on Final, but, my wife (who generally doesn’t watch J!), said “Schindler”, and that opened it up.
My goodness, but, Ty and his “uh” before everything became a bit annoying. The current mayor of Buffalo used to do that, but, I believe, was trained out of it.
No VI, I’m a Catholic too, and ‘Extreme Unction’ is actually the proper way of saying it. I mean, that was the way I was taught. As I’m sure that you’re aware, it is one of the seven sacraments of the Catholic religion. Anyways, I was given the sacrament of ‘Extreme Unction’ in December 2007 before I I underwent a major brain operation to remove a large acoustic tumor. Well I obviously pulled through.
Rick, I never said extramunction was the proper way to say it. That’s how everyone said it where I grew up, even the nuns ran the two words together. Of course, we all saw it spelled out as two words, but, speaking for myself — I just assumed it was one of those things that are said differently than the way they are spelled.
Dominus vobiscum.
Adriana now moves to #13 in the all-time regular-play winnings.
