Trivia Thursday - I'm feeling joyful

It is once again Trivia Thursday. I will post a new set of trivia questions on Thursdays. The rules are simple. Please put your answers in the comments section of the post and I will reveal the answers next week or whenever I feel like it. No Cheating! I trust that all of you will all use the honor system? That means you will not use Google, (or any other internet search engines) or mooch off other peoples answers. Cheating is BAD. If your employer has somehow made it impossible for you to post comments (bastards), you may also email your answers to me at MCDupras@gmail.com.

I am playing hooky today so that I can go do my Christmas shopping. Every year Marty and I go to King of Prussia, separate for hours and then get back together for drinks and dinner at the Cheesecake Factory because I am usually disgusted with mankind at that point. I was close to fisticuffs last year in a video game store. We had a good system going: One line for two registers. Then a woman decides to forgo the line and just walk up to one of the registers. Much yelling and cursing ensued from all in the line, including me. Oh joyful memories of Christmases past. Anyway, I will make Marty listen to Christmas music the whole drive there, even though he would rather listen to Sports Talk. See if you can tell me the name of the carols described in the riddles below:

1. Oh, member of the round table with missing areas

2. Boulder of the tinkling metal spheres

3. Vehicular homicide was committed on Dad's mom by a precipitous darling

4. Wanted in December: top forward incisors

5. The apartment of two psychiatrists

6. The lad is a diminutive percussionist

7. Sir Lancelot with laryngitis

8. Decorate the entryways

9. Cup-shaped instruments fashioned of a whitish metallic element

10. Oh small Israel urban center

11. Far off in a haybin

12. We are Kong, Lear, and Nat Cole

13. Duodecimal enumeration of the passage of the yuletide season

14. Leave and broadcast from an elevation

15. Our fervent hope is that you thoroughly enjoy your yuletide season

16. Listen, the winged heavenly messengers are proclaiming tunefully

17. As the guardians of the woolly animals protected their charges in
the dark hours

18. I beheld a trio of nautical vessels moving in this direction

19. Jubilation to the entire terrestrial globe

20. Do you perceive the same vibrations which stimulate my auditory sense
organ?

21. A joyful song of reverence relative to hollow metallic vessels which
vibrate and bring forth a ringing sound when struck

22. Parent was observed osculating a red-coated unshaven teamster

23. May the Deity bestow an absence of fatigue to mild male humans

24. Rose-colored uncouth dolf is aware of the nature of precipitation,
darling

Books I've been reading when I'm not smoking

Barefoot by Elin Hilderbrand - The book is about three women, all at crazy times in their lives (sick, pregnant with a cheating husband and a career implosion) who go to Nantucket for a summer. A local boy home from college for the summer watches the kids and gets involved with them. I read it because I love Nantucket and it made me think about a summer there with my good friend. I would recommend this book. It's interesting to compare the 20 year old's opinions of the situations with the women's opinions..
The Road by Cormac McCarthy - Really fascinating and different. It's a little futuristic and something has caused pretty much the end of the world. When nothing grows, humans have to scavenger for food and you know what that leads to when there's no food to be found. I didn't think a book that had so few characters and so little dialogue could keep my attention. It really did though. It was simple, but really intriguing. I'm excited for the movie, but it will be interesting to see how they pull this off wen 98% of the book was just a boy and his father walking.
Twilight and New Moon by Stephenie Meyer - Me loves. I didn't think I would really like these books since I'm usually not a vampire kind of person, so says the girl who stayed up really late reading these books and religiously watches True Blood every Sunday night. The books are really cute though and the whole "vampire living like a normal person" think is a good twist on the traditional story. I get what has the preteens all excited.
My Friend Leonard by James Frey - I read A Million Little Pieces and liked it. This book picks up where that book left off. James is out of rehab and trying to live again. I love all things mafia related and his friend, Leonard is a wise guy. James met and started an unlikey friendship with Leonard in rehab. Interesting, sad and a good story. Recommend.
Sisters by Danielle Steel - It was just okay. I loved the story line. The perfect family has a tragedy and one of four sisters is left blind by an accident. Everything was so neat and predictable though. Recommend, but don't run out and get it.
Ron Jeremy, the hardest working man in show business - Other than trying to hide it so no one would think I was a perv, this was pretty interesting. For example, I didn't realize that he was a special education teacher. Special Ed teacher to porn star is a big leap. Recommend.
Watchmen by Alan Moore & Dave Gibbons - This is a graphic novel so it is a giant comic book with some pages of text thrown in. I ran out of books and Marty had it. Suprisingly, it was pretty good. I was really into it, but thought the end was kind of lame. There were a lot of events that seemed kind of epic and then the end was pretty anticlimatic. Marty said he heard this was being made into a movie. It is very easy to imagine. It's as if the comic book is a storyboard for a movie already. Recommend (especially for chicks willing to try something new)
Paint it Black by Janet Fitch - I really like White Oleander, so I picked up this book. The story is dark, but very detailed. I just could not feel anything for any of the charachters. It is about a girl whose boyfriend commits suicide. It then goes into her relationship with the boyfriend's mother. I didn't feel anything for the main charachter, the mother or the dead boyfriend. In fact, nothing really happened in the book. SKIP IT.
Separation of Power by Vince Flynn - I'm usually not into this kind of book. Assassins, the CIA, crooked politicians. It was like the Bourne Identity type of thing. I couldn't put it down. And I want to marry the main charachter, Mitch Rapp. Yummy. Recommend.
Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte - I'm trying not to read all fluff and it was on the clearance rack. What a nice surprise. I can see where a lot of contemporary love stories and movies have stolen Miss Bronte's ideas. Recommend.
Rachel's Holiday by Marian Keyes - Pretty cute book. I have read her other books before. This one was darker, but still good. Rachel thinks she is a social drug user whose family sends her to rehab. Her story is sad, but the book made me laugh out loud at times. Recommend.
