Need to see her earlier show; let's pretend I still have lifelines.

So far so good.

A: Juan Valdez

I dunno how many lifelines I have, but I probably use them all on this one. I thought they were all made up for marketing purposes.

I knew this, but then I assume most advertising mascots are real. I just looked up Betty Crocker, Dr. Pepper, and Aunt Jemima, and they're all fictional! Colonel Sanders is real, though.

Today must be like the Super Bowl in the Sprots household.

Those three, I knew. I'd read about how Betty Crocker and Aunt Jemima were concocted. Speaking of Dr Pepper, my brother, who once directed the Dr Pepper franchise in this area, insisted for a long time that there really was a Dr. Pepper. He said that some guy in Waco, Texas made it up and named it to impress his hopefully future father-in-law, one Dr. Pepper. Other stories supplant that notion, and I'm sure that the real story is lost to antiquity.

Back in 2005, the AFC Championship game, Broncos vs. Steelers, was indeed like the Super Bowl.

Today wasn't like that -- the Steelers were missing Antonio Brown, plus supposedly Big Ben was playing hurt. Hah! His first pass served notice that he was, as one of our defenders put it in a radio interview, "healthy as hell."

Still, SteelersFan predicted a Broncos victory before the game started. He said that even if the Steelers had a lead going into the fourth quarter, the Mile High gremlins would come out and assure a Broncos victory. And he was right. Our receivers finally quit dropping passes . . .

You don't have to speak Arabic if you know Catholics (and many Protestants also) use "Peace be with you".

You don't have to speak Arabic if you know Catholics (and many Protestants also) use "Peace be with you".

Unfortunately, Catholics also say "Lord have mercy", "Lord hear our prayer", and "Thanks be to God" during Mass.

I was just about to say the same. They're all phrases used in liturgy. I guess the key word here was "greeting".

I'd say the key word is "salaam/shalom" for "peace".

"Alaaikim/aleichem" means "friends", not "be with you" but what the hey.
