Guess you really ARE the obviously innocent little townie! \*\* Lil’ Santo\*\* was an altar boy! 😛 ---

> [@fisha](#): > > \*\*Whynot, \*\*if your mom was intending to save your immortal soul, or at least some cheap insurance on the off chance, it was a baptism. If she was just hosing you down, then no. Yeah, it was one of those 3 AM, baby with a 106 fever, roads closed with snow so neither could my dad get the car out of the driveway nor an ambulance make it into our subdivision. Bathing the limp baby in a cool water bath, a glimmer of something from Sunday school came back to her. She says she didn’t really think it was “real”, but that she was so scared she’d have started jabbing voodoo dolls if there was one around. And so, just in case her parents were right after all, she said whatever it was she was supposed to say and my bath turned into a baptism. She never told her parents about it, though, or did a church thing afterwards. She didn’t even tell me about it until I was similarly up at night was a high fever baby myself. Makes a great dramatic tale, but I’m never sure what the answer to the question is! But I’ll accept **Hockey Monkey** ’s ruling. 🙂 ---

That might be extrapolated to altar boys 😉 (and since you’ve mentioned the “nut-protectors”, I really need to get me a pair) ---

They’re not nut protectors, they’re nut coozies. Similar to a[beer coozie](http://www.kegworks.com/product.php?productid=19031&cat=505&page=1). I don’t know about preacher’s sons, but preacher’s daughters? Good times! ---

I agree with that 😉 But any clue where I could buy a pair? All googling the term leads me to is the “[Salty Nut Cafe](http://http://saltynut.com/home.html)” in SC. ---

Only waiting for \*\*Revenant Threshold \*\*to answer the last two. I’m going to go ahead and start Round 2. Everyone will have a chance to give a statement. I will keep up with the number of toothpicks you all have left. When you run out, you cannot give or keep any more toothpicks, but you will have a chance to earn some back with your statement. A last ditch effort if you will. If you have already given your statement this round and you run out of toothpicks, you will be out. Statement order is the same as before. \*This Round you will \*\*give 2 toothpicks \*\*if you have done whatever it is that the statement giver has not done. \* If you only have one left, then you will give the one. 1. Hockey Monkey - 18 2. tdn - 17 3. erleichda - 14 4. Justin Credible - 21 5. MsWhatsit - 14 6. WhyNot - 21 7. Roosh - 29 8. ComeToTheDarkSideWeHaveCookies - 11 9. Darth Sensitive - 16 10. Silver Tyger Girl - 21 11. AllWalker - 31 12. Inner Stickler - 22 13. Revenant Threshold - 18 14. Santo Rugger - 4 15. NAF1138- 26 16. WormTheRed - 22 17. This’ll Do - 13 18. Jragon - 27 19. Sofis - 27 20. fisha - 15 **Revenant** , your starting number may change when you answer the last two from round 1. I will let you know. **Never ever have I had a cavity.** 😃 (see my pearly whites?) ---
