Shhhhhhhhhhhh. The Death Pool 2006 thread is up, and they shouldn’t be seeing this kind of information. It’s like feeding just one seagull on a clear, birdless day. Pretty soon the sky is thick with them, and they are shitting all over a thread. ---

> [@twickster](#): > > Eff that – I’ve got her in the '05 pool. Go, Maggie, go! (And I mean that in the nicest possible way…) I was going to beg her to wait because I’m putting her on my 2006…but then I looked up my '05 list and she’s on there too. So I’m ok whenever - if she goes this year, I get the points and an additional pick for 2006. ---
