Wow! I can’t believe I am still at the top. Though I fully expect that on December 30th someone (Happy?, CAMJAY?, I’m looking your way) will fly past me into first place. Is there a prize for the most time spent at the top without actually winning?
I have never scored a single point. I think I’ve been playing steadily since 2013 except for one year when I missed the deadline (now I try to submit my list way early).
I’m usually not one to say, “I can’t believe I don’t have any points,” but … I can’t believe I don’t have any points. I went for old bastards right down the line. Bob Barker - Betty White - Mel Brooks - Carl Reiner - Bob Newhart - etc. Can’t any of those arteries start closing up or something. Chrissakes.
Edit: even worse - I just realized I had the now deceased Peter Fonda as an alternate.
Wait for some previous winners to post, and steal their stuff.
Note: RT, who is ahead of me this year, also had what’s her name who I think I listed first. You see some picks, Google them, and they are just too good to pass up.
=)
I don’t know, but if there were a prize for most time spent within five points of the lead without winning, I’d own that sucker. 300-296 for six and a half freakin’ months. Still boggles my mind.
