You know, I hadn’t checked the vital status of my picks in quite a long time. Or maybe it took a while for the deaths to be listed on IMDB. But I just now discovered that two of my picks have died, so **I HAVE POINTS!!!** Sniff, it’s been so long. One is Yumi Shirakawa, who died June 14 at the age of 79. She had a long career in Japan, but her first starring role was the female lead in the first Rodan movie. Now, remember the Mothra films? The little twin fairies? With the deat of Yumi Ito, on May 18th, at the age of 75, they are both now gone. So now I have to change the points from the previous post .1 CAMJAY77 482 10 5 2 Fear Itself 389 8 2 3 Registered at Last 332 7 3 4 Team Dirt 262 7 0 5 phungi 235 5 2 6 Quartz 230 5 0 7 RobotDevilDog 188 4 0 8 guylevesque 172 5 1 9 Captain Klutz 161 3 0 9 Maus Magill 161 3 0 11 GIGObuster 160 4 1 12 Loach 159 3 1 13 jeezums 154 4 1 14 notfrommensa 152 4 0 15 lel 140 3 1 16 basset hound 139 3 0 17 septimus 133 3 0 18 Hockey Monkey 114 2 0 18 Jeep’s Phoenix 114 2 0 18 Squonk 114 2 0 18 VunderBob 114 2 0 22 42fish 107 2 0 22 Andrew21 107 2 0 22 carnivorousplant 107 2 0 22 Catamount 107 2 0 22 Hoopy Frood 107 2 0 22 Mahaloth 107 2 0 22 Mean Mr. Mustard 107 2 0 22 minionkat 107 2 0 22 RTFirefly 107 2 0 22 Shirley Ujest 107 2 0 22 Tangent 107 3 1 33 Happy Lendervedder 106 3 0 34 bowler girl 97 3 0 35 JohnT 96 2 1 36 Dung Beetle 93 2 1 37 anyrose 92 3 0 37 Dolores Reborn 92 3 0 37 Jack Batty 92 3 0 40 cardboardbox 87 2 0 40 cazwhatever 87 2 0 40 Eliahna 87 2 0 43 Borborygmi 86 2 0 43 Labtrash 86 2 0 43 MadTheSwine 86 2 0 43 Tit Whistle 86 2 0 43 zoog 86 2 1 48 Flik the Blue 84 3 1 49 It’s Not Rocket Surgery 83 2 0 50 The Vorlon 81 2 0 51 Shoeless 72 3 0 52 BlossomDrearie 71 4 2 53 a35362 66 3 0 53 Clothilde 66 2 0 53 critter42 66 2 0 53 Lsura 66 2 0 53 Mona Lott 66 2 0 58 5 time champ 60 1 0 58 amarinth 60 1 0 58 candide 60 1 0 58 CreaseMunky 60 1 0 58 irritant 60 1 0 58 Little Nemo 60 1 0 58 Lok 60 1 0 58 melondeca 60 1 0 58 Mudshark 60 1 0 58 pachabel 60 1 0 58 Rico 60 1 0 58 Superdude 60 1 0 58 vivalostwages 60 1 0 71 ShaggyZ 54 1 0 72 maplekiwi 47 1 0 73 Baker 46 2 2 74 sir viks 45 3 1 75 Personal 43 1 1 76 Dr. Girlfriend 38 2 0 77 Czarcasm 32 2 0 77 kayT 32 2 0 79 Little Pig 30 3 2 80 Clothahump 26 1 0 80 Hal Briston 26 1 0 80 imthjckaz 26 1 0 80 Reepicheep 26 1 0 80 Schnitte 26 1 0 80 swampbear 26 1 0 80 Winston Smith 26 1 0 80 zadscmc 26 1 0 88 tim-n-va 25 1 1 89 Invisible Chimp 24 2 2 90 Idle Thoughts 19 3 1 91 Old Wench 13 1 1 92 Fleetwood 12 1 0 92 J-P L 12 1 0 92 Mr. Goob 12 1 0 95 SpoilerVirgin 11 1 1 96 Stephe96 10 1 1 97 ataraxy22 6 1 0 97 Buttercup Smith 6 1 0 97 kopek 6 1 0 97 kunilou 6 1 0 97 meghan 6 1 0 97 Myrtle Beached Whale 6 1 0 97 NotherYinzer 6 1 0 97 PaulParkhead 6 1 0 97 rucciface 6 1 0 97 Spiff 6 1 0 ---
