Oh, oops, it says Arkansas, for some reason I was thinking it said Alaska.

Oh, you’re some kind of Yankee Commie!

Frack. Richard Hatch has died at 71 of pancreatic cancer.

When I first read this, before I clicked the link, I thought that Richard Hatch, the winner of Survivor 1 had died. Richard Hatch (Survivor contestant) - Wikipedia

Nitpick: phungi, neither Quartz nor I has a unique pick. All of his and my points are for Angelo Bissessarsingh and Joost van der Westhuizen.

@RTFirefly

Nitpick: phungi, neither Quartz nor I has a unique pick. All of his and my points are for Angelo Bissessarsingh and Joost van der Westhuizen.

Not sure what is going on there. Will look under the hood and try to figure it out, or just omit the column for now.

[Dead_Cat]

C-list UK celebrity Tara-Palmer Tompkinson has snorted her last. Another that would have fit my themed list but I didn’t bother to research. Anyone else have her?

[RTFirefly]

phungi - yeah, I tried looking at your spreadsheet to see if I could help you figure it out, but even once I cottoned on to your invisible cells, what you were doing was still way above my head. So I’m afraid I can’t be any help.

Dead Cat - looks like a unique pick for Quartz, as best as I can tell. Looks like we’ve got a new leader!

[Quartz]

February is becoming quite the month.

[Little_Pig]

‘CBS This Morning’s’ Charlie Rose to undergo heart valve replacement surgery.

[RTFirefly]

@Quartz

February is becoming quite the month.

Month, hell - you’ve racked up 176 points in a week!

[motu]

My points were not unique

[Mahaloth]

@Dead_Cat

C-list UK celebrity Tara-Palmer Tompkinson has snorted her last. Another that would have fit my themed list but I didn’t bother to research. Anyone else have her?

I’ve only ever seen her appearances on Would I Lie to You? Sad.

Here she is being actually quite funny on that show.

I think I had the same reaction! Will likely just overlook that column, as it isn’t really all that helpful.

Just breaking now: Mike Ilitch, Owner of the Detroit Tigers and Detroit Red Wings and founder/owner of Little Caesar’s Pizza has died at the age of 87.
mmm

[Team_Dirt]

@basset_hound

New Zealand soccer great Steve Sumner dies at age 61. Former New Zealand captain Steve Sumner dies at 61

I’m not wicked savvy navigating this board, plus the (very annoying) 90-second wait between searches - but - it looks like basset hound and I are the only two with points coming for Sumner. I see mention of a spreadsheet, is that public access to some master list?

-TD

[carnivorousplant]

Dammit, Rufus move over!
You are hogging the number three bench, even though there are only two of us now.

[basset_hound]

I think phungi accidentally missed the updated scores for** Mahaloth** (78 pts.), notfrommensa (82 pts.) and me (88 pts.) on the February 8 post. Since then, Quartz has scored 55 more points, while** Team Dirt** and I have picked up an additional 39 points.

By the way, thanks phungi and** RTFirefly** for helping out Idle Thoughts with the standings. It’s easy to follow the scores in that format.

[Queen_Anne_s_Lace]

@Mean_Mr.Mustard

Just breaking now: Mike Ilitch, Owner of the Detroit Tigers and Detroit Red Wings and founder/owner of Little Caesar’s Pizza has died at the age of 87.

mmm

My condolences to the Ilitch family. RIP Mike.
I ushered for years at his Fox Theater and enjoyed quite a few Red Wings games at Joe Louis Arena and Tigers games at Comerica Park. Also ate my share of PizzaPizza.

As others say from time to time: points is points. That’s 13 more for me.
