Allan B Calhammer, who created the board game Diplomacy, died Feb 25.

Hugo Chavez continues to taunt us.
Whichever Great Power he was playing, it’s now in a state of civil disorder.
Venezuela has expelled the US attache because “enemies of the state” are creating chaos about Chavez’ illness.
Got this from a news tweet.
The man died weeks ago. the government is covering it up. Haven’t you all seen Dave, or any given episode of *Monk *or NCIS? 
The conspiracy grows!!

I think the desperation level has increased dramatically. Maybe if we all stood under pyramids and focused our mental energies simultaneously we could make this drama end sooner rather than later.
Count me out of Group Mayan Enemas, Pal.
So you don’t want to participate in a group give a shit?
You got it, Pal.
Chavez is dead. Points all around.
Its about damn time. I don’t care about the points since I have to share with so many that its basically a push. I just wanted him off my list.
It must be true, CNN has a story. 
And everyone gets 40 points. :rolleyes:
Couldn’t go last year, could he?
Just heard a news-flash on the radio Hugo is NoGo.
42 points!!!

Coincidence? I think not.
OK Fidel, how 'bout a double dip! Follow the pocket-watch foolllowww the watch. You are feeling deathy. Youuuuuu are feeeeling deathy!
I’m glad he’s gone because he was a major pain all around (and I got me some more points!), but I have to confess, I’m happy that he’s no longer suffering.*
*I’m sorry, it’s the Catholic in me and I have and have had relatives suffer and die from cancer.
Woo hoo, my first points of the year! I am pretty sure he was on my list … yeah, very sure. LOL I think. I’ll be crying out the other side of my mouth if I didn’t have him on there though!
I personally think, however, that he’s been dead for some time and they only now released the word. Oh well, we’ll probably never know. Thank you, Chavez, for the points - and 42 of them at that! (omg, I never realized he was younger than me! :eek:)
And all my picks suddenly feel well enough to run in the New York Marathon.
And I’m on the scoreboard too! Still in last place, of course.
