Please repost all 13 as one list, but please leave off the parenthetical comments.
Okay, I will repost, but I broke one of your rules about parenthetical comments?
Gotta go shopping but will get right on it when I return.
Ah, but some players 2011 lists gives you a clue towards their 2012 list. 
Yes. But then, I’m good through 2014. Let’s hope Betty White can make it until then.
You can include as many comments as you like, but should also post a clean list. Please look at previous entries for examples. You’re also allowed up to 3 alternates in case one of your 13 kicks it before 00:00:01 1/1/11

That jackass. I had him in 2009 when I thought he would be a hot pick, and also in 2010 when he was a semi-bandwagon pick, and now screw him! Screw him right in the ear!
Of course, if I take him off my list this year, that will almost guarantee that this will be the year he actually scores. So to speak. Hmph.
Unlike Voltaire, I don’t think Swayze can be picked after he has shuffled off this mortal coil.
Hmmm, did he actually die? (Checks) So he did . . .
Let’s replace him with FW De Klerk.
So that makes the list:
Wilford Brimley
Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed Al Megrahi
Kim Jong-Un
John Demjanjuk
Randy Quaid
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Diego Maradona
Kathy Bates
Ken Griffey Sr.
FW DeKlerk
Billy Graham
James Best (Roscoe Coltrane of Dukes of Hazzard)
Ellen johnson Sirleaf
So I made the list according to your instructions, I repeated it and left out the parentheses, but left my comments because you stated in your rules that it was okay to be entertaining, and it’s STILL not right, and I’m causing you “hassle”?
Jesus, I must be more stupid than I thought.
Quasi, it’s not the literal parentheses, it’s any kind of parenthetical remark – he needs a version of the list that is names and nothing else.
a lot of people post the list twice - once, with all sorts of comments and/or snarks, and then again, unadorned, so that amarone can copy and paste it easily. He needs to do this to keep score, and to keep track of those who kick off.
Didn’t mean anything by “hassle”; sorry to have caused offense.
Mostly cut and paste from 2010 list - does “Evil” count as a theme?
A list of evilness (IMO):

I played around with several themes and decided on “old and/or sick” as the one I would go with. In the end, I doubt I will have any unique picks.
That’s right - it takes me about 20 seconds to process a plain list. Every line I have to edit adds 10 seconds to that. That may not seem like much, but with about 170 lists, it can add up.
Call it “evil leaders” and yes, I’ll allow it.
