And *BOOM* goes the dynamite…

…blowing up what's left of a TCGS institution known as Who's More Catholic. After today's events we wouldn't be surprised if we never see this game played again. It certainly shouldn't be played when the host is liquored up on cold medicine… boy, that is some strong stuff. Why are we so pessimistic? Well, let's see if we've got the events of this Friday's game straight:

1. After Cathy from Woodbury, Minnesota gives Fr. Jim the first point for what admittedly arguably was a really bad answer, Lino bans all call-in votes based on the premise that no one outside the studio will be fair to him. He also bans Cathy from calling in for four months. (Mark Tuesday, February 9th on your calendars, folks.)
2. After tying up the game at 2-2, Lino demands that Fr. Jim give up said first point on the basis of it being tainted. Fr. Jim, exhibiting far more class than Lino did, complies. There have been plenty of tainted points (on both sides) to go around in the history of this game, and only now does Lino resort to circumventing the rules to get his way.
3. Somehow Lino goes off onto a bodily fluids tangent, informing us that his frequent fluid intake is forcing him into multiple potty breaks, and then wondering out loud why "Number 1" and "Number 2" are referred to as such. The ensuing sound clip played by Lou turns out to be the only truly funny part of this whole segment.
   
4. Lino demands the trumpets when he "wins". How dare they not be ready for me, dammit!
5. After Fr. Jim loses, Lino is so pumped that he gives poor Maureen a shot at going against him to further boost his ego. Fortunately Maureen holds her own, as their round ends in a split decision.

So at least for now, we bid Who's More Catholic a fond farewell. At this point it has become a shadow of it's former self, it's already been reduced to once-in-a-blue-moon status, and we'll be surprised if it comes back bearing any resemblance to its former glory. We guess that it wasn't enough that Lino usually won anyway… after Fr. Jim's four week winning streak a few months ago there's no way that Lino could let anything like that happen again.
