I’ll put in the first alternate, unless gwendee comes back with another choice,
35 hours and 53 minutes.
Double psst- so did Jerry West
So he may or may not be alive, just FYI.
From Wikipedia:
So I’m curious about picks such as this. What would it take to confirm a death? Another confusing one is Thai Princess Bajrakitiyabha. I believe she was the heir apparent, but she collapsed while walking her dogs in December 2022 and now the succession order is a mess. I’ve had her on previous lists, but have come to the conclusion that we may never know if she’s dead or alive, or at least may not find out she died until years later. She seems to still be in a coma, but I’m guessing they’re just keeping her “alive” until they can figure out who will take the throne once the current king goes.

I’ll replace Mohammed Deif with Ian Smith (Australian actor, Harold Bishop in neighbours) if that’s ok. Was going to look up someone else high up in Hamas, but that route seems more complicated than i first thought.
I honestly picked at random. Maybe that will work.

Yes sir.

Having an androgynous username has been fun.
The good thing is you really are a baker. That at least we can be sure of.
Oh my, it’s nearly midnight. Tomorrow may be busy, as it seems a lot of players are doing the last minute thing.
But it’s so fun to do this.
