The problem with finally having someone from my list die is that now I want them all
DEADDEADDEAD!
Not enough to break the rules and actually do some in myself though.
Sacrificing some chickens, maybe - but other than that
We still have almost 4 weeks before submissions. What’s the rush?
Can I put kopek’s chickens on my list?
Too bad you couldn’t squeeze Phill Kline in there. 
**Making my list
Checking it twice
Hoping to guess who is going to be stiff and nice…**
Yes, I’ll be over here in the handbasket…
I knew I was forgetting somebody. If I had I would have bumped the lieutenant governor and put Kline in his place.
I am so ashamed for what I am about to post
Probably not; only my cock is famous and that is just regionally 
Since my group all decided to stiff me out of points this year (see what I did there?) I’ve decided to shake my list up a little bit. So here is NotherYinzer’s List of People Who Will Almost Assuredly Survive 2016:
