NObody expects the SPANISH INQUISITION!! Contest, interview, etc.
ONE of my very favorite Monty
Python sketches is
The Spanish Inquisition:
But first, here’s a link to Niles’ full interview of
yours truly. This was the basis of his article in the
Doherty High School paper, (which I got some
nice comments about that rightfully belong to
him.) Be a friend and comment his blog, and
read the interview–I go a little long sometimes,
but there are some interesting questions and
at least one embarrassing answer that has to do
with Monty Python.
And here’s the contest:
What four items are among the chief weaponry
of the Spanish Inquisition? (Not including nice
red uniforms, the soft cushions, the comfy
chair, and the rack.)
Email your answer to
bmandabach @ msn dot com, and one person
who answers correctly receives a free book.
Peace, Love, & Vinyl,

And the winner is . . .
Anna!!
At first she was confused by my previous blog
that showed my sharpie drawing, but Anna has
won a copy of Or Not, and I couldn’t be more
pleased. She was a loyal fan of the book when it
first appeared, bit by bit, on my myspace blog.
She also left lots of comments, which I love.
Thanks forever for all of your support, Anna!
By the way, the ink is as permanent as my arm and its epidermis, and the design is by J.R.R. Tolkien. Not so original on my part, but my love for the professor and his work has lasted over thirty years without diminishment. My daughter and I are reading LOTR for the third time, and are at the point where Frodo has just taken off the ring (at Gandalf’s long distance urging, and against Sauron’s long distance urging) on the seat of Ammon Hen.
Ink, Contest
Permanent or permanent marker?
and, what does it signify? If you can answer both questions, I’ll enter you in a drawing for a free book. Send your answer in an email to bmandabach at msn dot com. There are clues in an earlier blog on my myspace, if you feel like doing some research.
(no comments that give away the symbol, please:)
