Aaaaaaarrrrrrgggggghhhhhhhhhhh!!! I had Bonnie Franklin on my original list, before I decided to have fun with a sports theme. Let the justifiable condescension of those who stuck with their original lists begin. :smack: ---

> [@computergeek](#): > > Who the heck did Spazcat pick, some really old person? Spaz picked Pauline Phillips, aka Dear Abby. As for yours truly, I thought I’d try for the Inside Track with the Grim Reaper award, and so no person on my list is younger than ninety-five. In fact one, Douglas Slocombe, a well-known cinematographer, just turned one hundred. All my picks are also unique. I’m playing on another board, and over there I picked an updated version of the list I had last year. So far nobody on either list has come through for me.☹ ---

Having said that now, watch **Spazcat** clean up later on. The only points I got last year were bandwagon points for Robin Gibb. My lists have sucked last couple of years. (I’m a she, btw. The voices in my head aren’t that loud, are they?) ---

Baker is obviously ignoring the 140 points I am sure I must have earned. And I know it would be too difficult for Baker to check but can anyone here own up to not getting a single point in all the time they’ve played? And Baker plays on another board as well. Talk about social butterfly. ---
