Folks I didn’t pick, who will therefore probably cash in their chips 1 January:

*Kathryn Joosten, Mrs. Landingham, I can’t bear to pick her.
*Anne Francis, actress in The Forbidden Planet, can’t bear to pick her after the nude swimming scene.

Doesn’t this violate rule 3(g)?

From what I can tell, Kleinman is only famous because NPR did a story about a guy who was diagnosed with liver cancer soon after getting a heart transplant.

Amarone, would you please rule on this?
Thanks!

Sorry, but in my view is does contravene the “only famous for their illness” rule.

And I can’t pick Randy.
Damn.

Carlos, perhaps you missed the above section of the OP that requested a plain format list.

Would it be wrong of me to hope that I get on the board before December in 2011? :stuck_out_tongue:

We list thirteen with no alternates, do we not?

You picked the Immortal Hall of Fame. What do you expect?

13 with up to 3 alternates

There’s no limit on alternates:

But as the vast majority of players do not submit a list in which three die over the whole year, let alone between submission and Jan 1, there is little point in submitting more than a couple.

Oh fie, Sir. Shame on you!
:slight_smile:

shit shit shit … so THATS what unnumbered means , ok then . Do i need to re-re submit my picks minus commentary ?
