Nevermind. Just noticed I’m repeating a report.

[Jack_Batty]

Excelsior!
I don’t know what it means either, but someone had to say it.

Don’t remember anyone having picked him but David Pearson, retired Nascar driver and Hall of Fame inductee has passed away at 83.

Oh, crap, they better put his body in a box full of that stuff.

[Old_Wench]

One of my picks, Katherine MacGregor, who played Mrs. Oleson on “Little House on the Prairie,” died yesterday at 93. That’s seven more points and a unique pick (I think) for me!

Can our beloved Deathshroom grant divorces in addition to point? If you had any idea how often I was going to hear about this you would … :smack:

We both have scores ending in zero – mine just happens to have another digit in front of that zero.

[The_Vorlon]

Minor point, I think the list needs updating, I have 3 stiffs so far this year. Come on December!!

[kopek]

@phungi

not sure where you are going with this, but have you just proposed a “Celebrity Divorce Pool”? (I LOVE the idea)

That wasn’t where I was going but I have to admit that its an interesting idea. I was more along the lines of “I really wish I was single again”.

@Old_Wench

Ho boy -------- its going to be a loooong year.

[Hoopy_Frood]

@phungi

not sure where you are going with this,

I think kopek and Old Wench are married and since Old Wench has points, kopek is lamenting the future “rubbing it in” from being beaten.

At least, that’s what I’m gleaning from the posts.

It’s been tried.

At least, that’s what I’m gleaning from the posts.

But at least we’re tied when it comes to the Themed List. And I do have the satisfaction of suggesting one of the folks she got points for ------- which I keep reminding HER of.

What gets me is she had two dead, and only two dead, and both unique. I’m sure its happened before but when it hits this close to home ---------

[The_Vorlon]

Kopek, look on the bright side–between the two of you, you can have 26 stiffs!

Think of the possibilities! So many targets…

Damn.
Here he is playing “Malaguena”.

The world is a tiny bit less happy this morning.
