I think George H.W. Bushpicks should now only be valid on a week-to-week basis.
Bob Dorough of Schoolhouse Rock fame. I will spend a little time at Conjunction Junction today in his honor.
If you want to catch an extra point, you’ll want him to croak before he turns 94 on June 12. I think he’s going to make it long past that, they say he’s responding to treatment.
Again per our Shroom’s inventory, 33 players may or may not be poised to pick up 6 or 7 points this year due to having picked Bush 41.
Darn! That’s the end.
Sorry but my first thought was
Saxophonist Charles Neville of The Neville Brothers-dead at age 79.
No ifs, ands, or buts.
Maybe I’m just stoned, maybe I’m just paranoid, but something tells me we need to add Van Morrison to this list. I don’t know if it’s possible to swap out a name on my list, but if so, please add Van Morrison. “Caravan” from the Last Waltz just came on, and something tells me his years of very hard living will catch up to him. I sure hope not.
Noted TV producer Paul Junger Witt (Golden Girls, Soap, etc) has died at 77.
Well there’s a name I’ve read a thousand times.
The Partridge Family, The Rookies, Soap, I’m A Big Girl Now, Benson, It’s A Living, Dead Poets Society, The Golden Girls, Herman’s Head, Blossom, Empty Nest, The John Larroquette Show…
Martial Arts Master Jhoon Rhee, Who Taught Bruce Lee To Kick And Gave Muhammad Ali A New Punch, Is Dead.
"Rhee, a leading proponent of martial arts in the U.S. from the 1970s on, has died. The longtime resident of the Washington, D.C. area was 86 years old.
Rhee, a Korean immigrant, taught self-defense to America’s power people, with a client list that included presidents (Lyndon Johnson and George H.W. Bush), speakers of the house (Newt Gingrich and near-miss Bob Livingston), movie icons (Bruce Lee, who Rhee said did not know how to throw a kick before their sessions together) and even a world heavyweight champion: He trained with Muhammad Ali …"
Michael Anderson, director.
Larry Harvey, founder of Burning Man Festival.
Art Paul, Playboy magazine art director who created the bunny logo.
no picks x3 (x4 if you add Paul Junger Witt)
I had no idea that Jhoon Rhee was so well connected, or known at all outside the DC area. The “Nobody bothers me” commercials mentioned in the link provided by smithsb were ubiquitous during the late-late movies or afternoon reruns aimed at kids on channel 20 in Washington.

New Mexico? New Mexico is dead now?
“Whoa, slow down there maestro. There’s a NEW Mexico?” - Mr. Burns
As a follow-up, it appears that Avicii committed suicide. With a broken bottle.
