We've all heard the phrase "speak softly but carry a large stick." Well, this applies to acolytion as well, sort of. We'd like to reword it "walk slowly when carrying a large stick." In other words, if you're "lightin' it up" you really need to walk slowly to get to your proverbial candles. Otherwise, your flame will burn out on that walk down the aisle. Then, you'll look like a tool, and have to fake light a bunch of candles ceremoniously. Now THAT is embarrassment.

"Listen to Your Heart" is by Roxette, not Tiffany. It's on their "Look Sharp" album.
If I can't trust your accuracy in eighties teenie-bopper iconography, what CAN I trust? Shambles. My life is in shambles. Thanks, guys.
You are officially hilarious. But, I will tell you that lowly 6th graders do not get your profound jokes. I started laughing and they asked me to tell them. I told them they wouldn't get it, but they persisted. Then, they all looked at me like I was crazy and went back to typing. Good story.
