Will it be against the rules to provide any sort of health care to your picks?

He might as well legally change his name to “Lazarus Long”.

I have got to get on the board.

What do the rules say about casting old Polish curses?

9/13 of my picks have private pilot licenses. I’m just waiting for someone to go up in bad weather.

Finally on the board. 29 points for Bobby Caldwell.

Passing this news item along in case it might be of interest:

Huge shock. I knew him as Broyles in Fringe, along with his appearances on LOST and in the game Horizon Zero Dawn.

Mainly Broyles, where he was in most episodes and they did a great job making him seem suspicious at the beginning of the show…only for us to realize he was completely good and his casting was kind of a misdirection. Loved him on Fringe.

That’s a huge blow to Horizon. The character can not be anyone else and they are developing the third one.

I just got off a Caribbean cruise, where I promise I didn’t kill anyone, despite great provocation.

The rules do not prohibit you from killing anyone, you just may not kill someone worth points/standing (i.e., a pick in the current thread).

New proposed rule: Participants may not exchange lists in order to kill each other’s celebrities.

perhaps it is a good thing that Stranger_on_a_Train does not participate in this game

I feel like any celebrity murdered by a Doper can be automatically disqualified from valid scoring.
