In case anyone does not know why 42fish appears one place higher than all the other zero pointers, it is because of a successful pick of a centenarian - no points, but one correct pick.
Harve Presnell, whose baritone voice was featured in such Broadway hits as The Unsinkable Molly Brown and Annie, has died at the age of 75. Presnell also appeared in films as varied as Paint Your Wagon, Fargo, and Saving Private Ryan.
Can I dare to dream of a top-10 finish this year? :eek:
31st place now. I was in the top 15 until June 25th.
The tsunami of Michael Jackson-Farrah Fawcett will haunt me forever.
I’m sorry. I’d take him back, if I could…
Like hell
Sweet! Thanks!
Clarification: I am an idiot.
Earlier in this thread I wrote this.
I followed up with this.
I checked my picks again and I did in fact put MJ and Swayze on my list, but misrembered that fact.
I guess I picked the wrong time to stop smoking crack.
I have Palin as an alternate, but would Political Suicide count.
Now turning to the world of sports, and mentioned in another thread in The Game Room, Steve McNair has been killed in either a double homicide or a murder-suicide
Could be a double suicide.
Is that a common way to wear a football helmet? I’ve seen kids wearing motorcycle helmets in that way.
Or a suicide-murder, which, admittedly, would probably be pretty hard to pull off.
Or, it they could have gone for the 1000 point bonus and attempted the never-before-attempted murder-suicide/suicide-murder paso doble with a lemon twist
Perhaps in centuries past, sure. But with today’s technology it’s a snap.
Former Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara died Monday, according to his wife. He was 93.
JFK’s Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara.
ETA: beat me by that much… :smack:
Hope that you escaped the Mothman, John.
Wow,
top 10
I didn’t think my heroes/villains & sick people list would score so good.
I only ‘hope’ 100 points isn’t 100% of its potential.
I’ve now got four correct picks this year, an all-time high for me I believe. MJ, Karl Malden, Robert McNamara and Paul Harvey. Still nowhere near the top in points, seeing as three of the four were near 100…
It’s O-S-C-A-R…
Oscar Mayer dead at 95.
Oh man, I had no idea there was a real person named Oscar Mayer. Well… I suppose there would be someone in the whole world with it, but not actually affiliated with the company.
