Tom Jones has died, age 95.
No, not THAT Tom Jones. This Tom Jones was the lyricist for the long-running musical “The Fantasticks”.
Saying it’s long-running is like saying Usain Bolt is fast.
The original run of the Fantasticks has the record for the longest running production of any kind in the history of American Theater.
Another person about to be off our lists is Bob Barker. If he makes it four more months, he’s 100 years old.
Most of my lists have had people over 100. Not all of us are in this just for the points.
I currently am on the board with a unique pick over 100.
One half of 90s rap duo Timbaland & Magoo has died. No, not the famous one, the other guy
21-year-old Russian hockey player Rodion Amarov has died.
79 points for me!
It’s difficult to phrase a response to this that isn’t too ghoulish. But you are playing the crap out of this game, my dude!
And we now have a new player in first place!

I would quit, but then my entire list would get killed in a freak Hot Dog cart tragedy.
I would like to protest this pick on the sole grounds that I did not include him on my list…
This news may be of interest:
British celebrity interviewer Sir Michael Parkinson has died, aged 88. His show was a staple for most of my life.
Not posted yet: Music executive (co-founder of A&M Records) and noted racehorse owner Jerry Moss has died at 88.
Oh no. I adored Carol Duvall. I wish her shows were on DVD or streaming.
I always hate reading about death by motorcycle crash. In my dad’s case he was struck and killed by a truck, not the other way round.
