Dang. This was going to be my theme list idea. Now I have to scramble with Plan B.
BTW, the story of Bette Cooper is fascinating. I had never heard about the disappearing MA before.
My preliminary list that will become the final one if I forget to check it before the deadline.
Because I try to concentrate on the ones who are not nice.
Right now I have holdovers from my previous list and I added more pro wrestlers, a group that has given me hits in past occasions.

This is 14. Bob Barker will be the alternate unless you specify otherwise
Oops. In that case, let’s put Cheney on Alternate. I figure he’s got that mechanical heart and bathes in the bloods of virgins, so he’s probably got a few more years in him.
And there is the question of whether a wooden stake or a silver bolt should be driven through a mechanical heart, further complicating matters. :dubious:
I think Andrew Rodman died, unless there are two of them with cancer. Can you dig up a date of birth?
- I believe you are correct. The poet they are collecting funds for is the dead ringer for the dead poet. I will replace him with Holly Rowe.
Thanks!
Shit. Hadn’t known he was in poor health.
Also probably missed my last chance to see him in concert, when he was at the Warner in DC two months ago.
