I have yet to score but I have as many points as **Andrew21**. So am I tied for 73rd or 72nd? Pointwise, it would seem like the latter. ---

Even though he has no points, **Andrew21** has 2 picks and 2 unique picks while you, me, and everyone else in 73rd place has O points 0 picks and 0 unique picks. Now get out there and get busy. I already claimed last place as mine, all mine! 😃 ---

> [@Baker](#): > > Andy Fraser takes kopek’s virginity, for 32 points. WOOHOO!!! Kinda. I don’t know – like most former virgins I’m of mixed emotions. Considering I picked him in the most convoluted of manners – some friends perform a parody song of “All Right Now” called “All Right Cow” and I built a motorcycle themed after their song – I am shocked to get popped on him. I knew he was ill the last few years but I really would have preferred someone from politics.
