LAST EDITED ON 03-29-10 AT 07:32 PM (EST)Don't know where Tribe is. Don't know if we'll ever see him again. Maybe the villains got him. Or he ran off with a Leprechaun. Anyway, we had a St. Patrick's party.
And what a partee. Losers and Heroes know how to partee. There was drinking and dancing and singing and eating and as for the rest of what went on, what happens at LL stays at LL, k? Answers to the 10 questions:
1. St. Patrick converted the Irish to Christianity. Truth
2. St. Patrick rid Ireland of snakes. Blarney
3. A Leprechaun's trade is cobbler/shoemaker.
4. If you catch a Leprechaun, he will promise you riches/wishes.
5. Traditional Irish soda bread is made without yeast or raisins. Truth
6. In the 1800's, Irish immigrants were often discriminated against. Truth
7. St. Patrick spent about 6 years as a slave in Ireland. Truth
8. St. Patrick's Day is a legal holiday on what little Caribbean island? Montserrat
9. Until the 1970's, Irish law required that pubs be closed on St. Patrick's Day. Truth
10. The city most known for dyeing its river green is Chicago.
Two things I want to mention. First, if a leprechaun promises you something, don't believe him for pity's sake. It's believed that this is where politicians learned their trade, from the wee ones. Second, the Irish Soda Bread with raisins is called spotted dog. I love me some spotted dog.
Ok. So luxury items were worth 2 points each. Each question was worth 1 point each. Singing and dancing was worth 2 points, although that's where the real fun was and it sure was worth a lot more than that. But you only get two points anyway. Anyone who got a question wrong, allowed a villain in to swipe stuff from the partee, so everyone in their pod loses a point. Out of a possible 14 points, here are the results:
Party Pod I:
Skelarectile: 14
Pegasus: 4
Trixi Whip: 14
Sagittarius 15*
Phatom: 11
Frigga: 12
Cat Conjuress: 14
Wowza. Not a villain in sight. I do believe it was Trixi and Frigga showing their very best from Emydi's classes of past years that kept them away. No points lost here.
Party Pod II:
Caterwaul: 8 - 6 = 2
Hempitera: 14 - 6 = 8
Candangle: 14 - 6 = 8
Procrastinatrix: 14 - 6 = 8
MacMole: 12 - 6 = 6
Villains raided Pod II, so everyone in Pod II loses 6 points
Party Pod III:
Sarcastia: 14 - 4 = 10
Royal Grouper: 12 - 4 = 10
Dynamo Dusk: 10 - 4 = 10
Ok, so Pod III didn't even show up for the most part, but those that did were wild and crazy and what happens at LL stays at LL, so I can't say more. But the villains did sneak in and take some stuff and each Pod III hero lost 4 points.
* I gave Sagitarrius an extra point for her Irish-tini recipe, something we can take with us and enjoy for years to come.
