So, it looks like Hugo Chavez suffered complications from his surgery three weeks ago and has been kept alive on life support machines since then. I think I now have 2 people in a coma on life support.
NEXT year, get a place holder list up ahead of time for those last minute snafus.
I feel for you with the cold hours, a cousin(s) of your knuckleheads did the same thing here early Christmas morning. About 150 houses out for 12 hours.
Have a Plan Death.
You should put up your list anyway. It won’t count officially but you can play along with the rest of us for fun.

*I had Michael Jordan at this spot, then realized that centi-millionaires usually don’t die in their 40s. 
** Really wanted to put “Best Buy” in this position, but didn’t know if companies were eligible.
If I’m too late to submit, so be it.
Yup. Too late.
Thought she died years ago.
Me too. Would have preferred he went last year for points but I’ll take what i can get. And I would have liked to have had Sharon’s points in 2006 but what can you (legally) do?
We need to add a “Missed it by THAT much” award for the first list to come in after the deadline.
Yeah, we’re a bunch of sick ghouls, but not that sick! 
I can’t play, yet I’m still a winner. I love this game! 
See y’all next year. Is there a email “reminder” list that I can get on, sorta like the “Feud” lists?
In case I forget to say it throughout the year -
Thank you, Baker!!!
There. Now I don’t have to worry about that.
JohnT, entries start each December 1. So during the year you can tweak a list, then wait for the thread to open.
A lot of us ghouls can’t wait to begin. For the last two years I’ve waited up for midnight to open the thread for entries.
Yay, I just learned something! A poster asked if I could send them the spreadsheets for 2012, so they could learn how to do stuff like this. I’m ashamed to admit I wan’t entirely sure how to do that, send a spreadsheet I mean.
But I poked around and thought I figured it out. Just now got notice that the sheets went through! Those are the completed sheets from 2012, so they can see how I mark and list totals, the celebs chosen, and so on.
I feel good.
Yes, when only the most quick witted of us had him!
Seventy three players have Chavez this year, only twenty five last year.
Just thought the group could save her a bit of trouble with some “self-policing”.
All hail the Beloved Death Mistress!
Were you a hallway monitor in school?
:rolleyes:
This is promising for we seventy three, we happy few…er, happy whose name is legion. :rolleyes:
I think only 5 of us had Sharon in 2006.
In case the Death Mistress missed it, I would like to point out a typo in my list: Van Cilburn should be Van Cliburn. Sorry about that.
