My first time playing. I’m terrible with celebrities and their comings and “goings” as it were, so this was train-of-thought. Allow me to express my utter embarrassment if any of these people are already dead, and my sincerest apologies if any of them are also playing the game.

I wonder if anybody has ever actually scored with an alternate? Meaning that you picked an alternate, one of your primaries died before 12/31, and then your alternate took a dirt nap the next year? At the rate this year is going, it wouldn’t be surprising to see a few players’ alternates move up.

Working on the scorekeeper. Need a ruling on the first 2 from Idle Thoughts regarding the age rule
I have them as the original/“colorful” names in the scorekeeper I am working on.
Rob Kardashian hospitalized. If he can just hang on for a couple more days…
Ok. So last year, I went pussy. I originally picked a list consisting of all of my favorite comedians. But that depressed me too much (thankfully, if I’d kept that list, I’d’ve scored a goose-egg) so I cherry picked the thirteen most popular picks, at the time. Didn’t do too bad. Looks like I’m tied for 36th with 102 pts (Joey Feek, Fidel Castro, Muhammad Ali & Nancy Reagan).
But this year I did my homework. Well, some homework. Granted, I never heard of Gord Downie before this thread, but this thread counts as homework, right. I digress …
