yes yes, I know i'm in as free, but its only right so you all dont think i cheeted somehow.

In!

i gotta come up with 10 more peeps

yup 20 will be tough but it makes for more action

?

then send in your list.

20...hmmm...maybe I'll actually have a shot with that many.

Guess I better pick better people.

edited first post to include the list of those entered

Tried to pick as many "one foot in the grave" codgers as possible. Going for quantity, not long shots

And that looks like it's working really well for you.

I hope you're sticking to that game plan now that there's a few bucks on the line.

Pox on the house of anyone that takes names off of my undead list to make their own list for the next round too!

BUMP

only two of us?

come on guys only 11 days left

I was planning on giving it a shot, but $20 is just to steep for me (I'm a cheapskate!)

I'm working on mine.

I've got about 30 names...gotta whittle down.

I agree.

It was an interesting diversion when it was free.

Not enough fun to spend $20.
Rather put three gallons of gas in my truck.

Have fun.

yep ,same here

Well, that sucks. Was hoping to take all of you for your $20.

if this is true then i will send DR his money back and we will do a free Dead pool again.

the only reason i was collecting a pool was because everyone said they wanted to.

Go ahead and send you lists to
todrick at gmail dot com

if we dont get mor epeople paying i will refund DR his money and we will go freebie....

All entries must still be in by the time the ball drops in times square

putting my list together and the money will be coming!

heres what i am thinking... you pay your eligible for a prize... you dont, your not.

if the highest paying player is #4 they win the 1st place share of the pool.

doe shtis work for everyone?

hey i am all cool with it, the ones that pay get the money the ones that don't... can brag about winning nothing!

I'm in if it's free. Gotta put my list together in a hurry tho, I'm unprepared!

its ok the site is only about 75% done.

everything will work on time though.. send your lists.

I am editing the first post to highlight that its free

Can we send our list in, and then later send in money?

(Obviously there would have to be a deadline, so some joker wouldn't wait until September to send money in, when they know they are winning)

I'm fine with that.

you have to send in your money before any of your guys die... that seems fair.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking...you haven't paid, you have one die...you're ineligble to win.

I'll be getting you my list before Friday.

way before friday

come on guys... only 4 of us?

im putting lots of work into the site... it is much improved over the little one page jobby of last year....

would be a shame to waste it on 4 players

Yeah, no doubt.

And not 20 minutes after I sent it, I remembered a name I thought of this weekend. I may have to make one change. Just gotta figure out who to remove.

Just sent mine! (the free side, that is. )

Sent you my list and money.

Pussy.

Dilhole

we are up to 7...

where are all the players from last year?

I'm thinking I have to leave registration open until the 7th again just to give people a chance to enter...

would love to actually startthis thing on time.

They're LAZY asses.

Or just cheap pussies...like Wilma.

BOOYA

Booyakasha this, you miserable bitchass bitch.

...sigh, I got nothing...two weeks with the inlaws...my brain fuckin' hurts.

ok i'm gonna have to extend this shit again(like last year)

Jan 7th... site will go live jan 8th.

Winners for 2005 will be announced tomorrow.

so we have about 9 entrants

should i post the list of who picked Sharon?

or wait till the site goes up and/or he actually kicks the bucket,

BTW

any new entrants MAY NOT pick sharon, due to this massive change in health coming after 1/1

i am gonna make my list and send it to you now.

good deal... i have a freind sending in his list as well.

anyone else have any friends who want to play?

at this rate we are only gnna have 10 players...

i'll be sending in a list soon

Who's got Sharon?

i askd if we wanted to wait or i could post that info... there are several who have him...

wheres your list KJ?

Did you get mine?

And mine?

I'm in! I've been busy, then away, then out of the country, then away, then busy again.....

yes i got socals and grayhams(all 4 revisions)

So what's the list of people that are in now?

i have updated the first post withthe list of competitors to date.

Okay, I have my list. Mostly political figures but some celebs too

I sent you my list....hope I am not too late....

nimz and RiNkY are in

i e-mailed you my list, hoping you get it in time

When is the official start date? I'm concerned that one of my picks might not live that long!

I think everyone's picked Sharon . . .

it will be up by monday.

if i got your list before one of your picks dies... it counts.

everyone DID NOT pick sharon

I didn't because I'm not a pussy who needs a gimme.

i didnt pick him either, i thought we couldnt, o well, that would have been too easy

I stand corrected.

I often get confused about exactly which kind of pussy you are.

I'll remember from now on, that no matter what kind of pussy you appear to be, you are NOT one that needs a gimme.

Noted.

Well...look how many picked the Pope last year.

[/b]

I, on the other hand, am a pussy who needs a gimme.

(Didn't pick Sharon, either, though)

Lou Rawls.

remember dead is dead... not clinging to life in an ireversable coma...

sharon is not a lock by any means

you ever gonna send in a list KJ ?

Lou Rawls, the velvet-voiced singer who started as a church choir boy and went on to sell more than 40 million albums has died, his publicist said. He won three Grammy Awards in a career that spanned nearly five decades and a range of genres. He was 72.

Thanks - but no thanks. Its fun to watch without the moral guilt of participating. i'm sure you understand - nothing personal of course.

nope thats cool though

just to state again...

no one who enters after sharon had his stroke may pick him... i have not gone through all the lists but if you did pick him after his stroke please send me another pick.

BTW....

I picked lou rawls... but seeing as i was the only one and the site is not up.... i will mnot take the points and will make another pick.

but when i loose, im gonna cling to that little fact so i dont feel so bad

You should've sent your list to one of us, so you could have kept Rawls.

List is sent.

Just in the nick of time!

So when does the site go live? I can't wait to see other people's picks!

Whoa there Todrick... I picked Lou Rawls too. (#14 on my list) I submitted my list on 1/5/06, (One Day before he died.) Do I need to pick again? That would be a bummer. I wanted some pointage!!!

Oh, and is it still too late to join the $$$$ league?

As far as I know, if you haven't and one dies...you can't join it anymore.

Todrick,

I don't know if I picked Sharon before or after the stroke.

I have emailed you my Sharon substitute.

Yeah, I know. Thus the winky smiley. But if I'm forced to choose a Lou Rawls replacement, I might be inclined to put some money in on it.

Come on Todrick... don't you want to go live with you and me tied for first place?

LOU RAWLS! LOU RAWLS! LOU RAWLS!

wheres the link to the site? or am i just blind?

this is taking longer than i expected to enter everyones list... please bare with me i hope to have the site up tonight

The site is live

http://four50one.net/XDP06/

Andre the Giant starts off with a comanding lead due to his prophetic pick of Lou Rawls.

Andre Sent in his list on the 5th, Rals died on the 6th.

Look over your lists and let me know if anything looks wrong... i built the this new site from the ground up so there may be some coding glitches. BUT it is built to be reused nextyear... which will save a ton of time and allow me to have the site up a bit earlier in the year.

also... please, if you get bored, send me info about some of the celebs... for their bio pages... there is a lot of info to gather there and I'd hate a repeat of last year(some never got info)

also notice there are a coule new bonuses and the points values of some have changed

I know this may be a bit much, but is there any way we can have a list on the front page of the celebrities and who all picked that one?

(As opposed to having to check each persons individually?)

i could but....

a list of 158 celebrities with a list of who picked them is a bit much... let me see if i can come up with another solution

That would be great.

I checked each one individually. I'm shocked that I'm the only one who picked John Paul Stevens. The dude is like 498 years old.

well there is now a link to the list, but it may take some time to create the code that will show who picked who...

at least for now you can see all the picks

his age makes him worth less points... but since you are the only one who picked him he is now worth quite a bit...

much like my Sir Edmund Hillary and Ray Bradbury picks

I think I'm the only one who picked Les Paul. He could be worth some big points - he's close to the oldest (Al Lewis has him beat, I know).

Born June 9, 1915. Anyone other than Al Lewis older?

once i get all the ages in the db then i can do some cool things, like "sort by age"

until then its a bit of work to look these guys up

looks good man

i think i'm the only one with the pope

oh and i sent ya some Bio info on the people i picked

Ford's older then Paul, but a shitload of people (including me), have got him.

Am I the only one who picked 3 Golden girls.

Just sent the info for my picks...

Just to complain about last year's pool...I didn't get my older than dirt bonus for Eddie Albert. FOUL!

Otherwise, good job Todrick.

That's right! Neither did I.

yes you are

yeah i noticed that after i posted the scores...

in the end the result was the same i think

Lady Bird Johnson is older than Gerald Ford.

Born December 22, 1912. Ford was born July 14 1913.

Quite a few people picked her.

Yeah...bunch of copycats...I think Only a few of us picked her last year.

I bet most of you didn't even realize she was still alive.

Did I get kicked out or somethin? My list isn't on the site?? I sent it over to ya on 5th.

My comments on some of those picked by the group:

Courtney Love and Ted Kennedy - DIE already!
Ruben Studdard - C'mon, this is a CELEBRITY dead pool.....not the I'M A FAT BASTARD AND I DROPPED OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH dead pool
Hugh Hefner - will definitely die smiling
Nancy Reagan - Ask Jeanne Dixon if she's gonna die
Stephen Hawking - that'll save someone the job of wiping up drool
Muhammed Ali - Float like a butterfly, die like a butterfly hitting the windshield.
Ringo Starr - 2 down, 2 to go.
Paul Harvey - Goooood day!
Danny Bonaduce - My pick for the jackass bonus points
Hillary Clinton - I hope whoever picked her wins!
Paris Hilton - possibly more temptation than your average mortician can withstand.
Jimmy Carter - buried in a peanut shaped casket
Ariel Sharon - See Stephen Hawking
Peter Fonda - Predicted to go in a freak water bong accident. Second nominee for jackass award.

Carry on.

there were a ton of emails that looked the same, i will find your and get you added.

haha i wish i thought of cool comments like that for mine haha

I thought we couldnt pick some one who we know is gonna die.

Everyone dies eventually, Chia.

The email would have been from Roger Holgate rholgate at wildwestdomains.com

Yeah but last year we werent allowed to pick Saddam or Stanley Williams becuase we knew they were gonna die.

I don't recall that.

But that's really more to do with the fact that

a) "Tookie" was on Death Row, with a pre-determined date of death.
b) Depending on when the circus finished, so would Saddam.

Who was picked this year that is on Death Row?

He isnt on death row yet but Saddam was picked. I dont think he should be allowed since we know he is gonna die

saddam is not on death row... the rules are very clear i think.

he was also a valid and taken pick last year... as was osama.

I picked Sadam, I don't see why that isn't a valid pic! He hasn't even been sentenced yet, plus with an appeal it's highly unlikely he will die this year. I picked him on the offchance that someone blew him up or murdered him in court!

Not that my list has been added to the site yet. I hope Todrick finds it

x2 haha

found it... still need to add you

Just sent some bios in.

Anyone got Ayman Al Zawahiri on their list?? Looks like he may have taken a dirt nap courtesy of a Predator drone...

i do i do!!
i believe i'm the only one with him too

if he is in fact declared dead(last i heard they had to investigate, but he was the target) then i will award points....

until then the above rule applies.

hes not dead, just saw the news, out of the 18 killed, he survived, damn terrorist

Shelly Winters...dead at 85....loved her in the Posiden Adventure...

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060117/ap_on_go_pr_wh/ford_hospitalized

This has promise, if Todrick ever gets my list up. Anyone else have former president Ford?

Shit...I had him last year....

...first he pardons Nixon, now THIS!

I've got Ford on my list, but it doesn't sound like this bout of pneumonia is going to get him. Not according to what the news is reporting this morning.

I could be wrong....

GER-RALD! GER-RALD!

wrong chat... it should be

"PNEU-MON-IA, PNEU-MON-IA, PNEU-MON-IA"

I think about 5 people picked him, and Gerald Ford isn't worth that many points.

It doesn't matter. When Jack Klugman, Tony Bennett, Harry Morgan, and Wilford Brimley all die in a tragic blimp accident, I'll have so many points, you'll all concede.

BL-IMP! BL-IMP!

i dont have ford, damnit i was gonna pick him too, i was hoping the US would have taken care of Zawahiri this past week, o well, theres always next time, i guess i have my own chat...

MI-SSLE MI-SSLE MI-SSLE

Gerry's old. It's time. 28 points. C'mon.

I just want to say that it's great to see both Ford and Ariel Sharon pulling out of the downward spriral and putting off the journey to the afterlife.

Anyone with Wilson Pickett??? Dead at 64...

Wilson Pickett? Aw, that's a shame. He did Land of 1,000 corpses...er...dances.

By the way, did anyone have Shelley Winters? She died on the 14th. Just curious.

Man who picked Chris Penn

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20060125/people_nm/penn_dc

Coretta Scott King has passed

And that's a solo artist bonus for me, baby!!

Goooooooooooooooolllllllllllllll!!!!!!!!!!!

Crud.

So, when are the bios going to be added?

profiles will be added when i manage to get bit of free time.

things have been nuts.

is someone volonteering to help? PM me I can tell you how to edit the profiles...

i figure any cheeting will be obvious as hell, so there is no harm in allowing someone to help.

also i added the "Older than Dirt" and "Only the good die young" Bonuses, just for kicks

Wait...how does King warrant the "older than dirt" bonus? Isn't that a bonus that can't be handed out until the game finishes?

if you show me someone older who has died then i'll change it...

lou rawls currently hold the "only the good die young" bonus

i fixed he code this year, its dynamic so if i hcange th bonus it updates for every player...

i figured it would be more fun to watch the changes of said bonuses over time.

RIP "Grandpa" Al Lewis

Dead at an official 82 years old... The reports of him being 95 are incorrect.

Congrats to SDX for the Solo Artist Bonus as well as currently holding the Older than dirt bonus

Gawdammit!

Damn you SDX!

Anybody have this guy :

Franklin Cover, who became a familiar face as George and Louise Jefferson's white neighbor in the long-running TV sitcom "The Jeffersons," has died, his publicist said Thursday. He was 77.

Anybody have Peter Benchley:

Prolific writer Peter Benchley, whose 1974 novel Jaws scared people out of the water, died Saturday night at his Princeton, N.J. home, according to Wendy Benchley, his wife of 41 years. He was 65.

Curt Gowdy dead at 86.

WHOO HOO!!! GOT ONE!!!

Moira Shearer, Jan 31, 2006

Pretty sad though...Powell and Pressburger's "The Red Shoes" and "Peeping Tom" are among my favorites...

way to wait on that one WilMac...

Since Al lewis died after here she never gets a spot in the "Rest in Peace" header

No need to be a dick about it...I had missed it when it happened and only found out today...

Not like they opened the newscasts with her death...jeez louise.

thats what ya get for picking a ballerina.

i wasnt being a dick, i was poking fun at the fact that she never gets her day in the spotlight.

Don KNotts has dies age of 81. Um todrick i think i messed something up shoot me a pm please.

All fixed.

RIP Mr. Knotts.

44 legit points.

scoring 69 right now due to the "last man not standing bonus"

Congrats Desert Rat, Grayham and nimz

Thanks Todrick and uh.... thanks Don

RIP

Skinny little bastard had it coming.

Yes, I'm going to hell for that.

Sad to see Darren McGavin has passed.



"Fra-gee-lay".

The curse of Disney's "Hot Lead & Cold Feet". More than just a bad movie. It's a killer.

Another person that played a peace officer on TV:

Dennis Weaver aka McCloud

Who could forget his role in Spielberg's TV Movie "Duel," though? I'll always remember that movie if for no other reason than our family had the same '71 Valiant that Weaver's character drove in the movie. Hehe.

There's the 3.

You never did add my list to the site! Not that I actually have anyone on it that's died yet

lol wow, my bad...

i'll get that fixed asap

There ya is Rinky, with some GREAT delay, you have been added.

I'd be VERY surprised if anyone had Jack Wild of "H.R. Pufnstuf" fame.

I still think Sid and Marty Krofft had to have been on drugs when they came up with half of their shows. Speaking of which, I understand there's a "Land of the Lost" movie in the works. Maybe they can get Bill Laimbeer to play one of the Sleestaks again for old times' sake. Haha.

No, nobody had Jack Wild..

Instead of everyone saying, "Did anyone have??" so and so, how about just look it up?

Dead List

i just updated that list to indicate who has already died

Oh crap - I guess my Bashing thread addition now goes out the window now you've added my list. Thanks dude!

Kirby Puckett.... gone at 45.

Man... we're all leaving an awful lot of points on the table.

Dana Reeves wife of Christopher Reeves has also Died at the age off 44. Suprised no one picked her seeing that she announced she had lung cancer in August.

who could have guessed Kirby Puckett though....

well he was quite tubby.

Maureen Stapleton\'s dead.
C'mon slackers
I'm not even in this thing and I'm reporting dead people.. Let's look , er, alive.

you can stop.

or at least look at the list and see if their death is even relevant. telling us that someone who was not picked by anyone has died is on par with me coming on XOC and shouting about how great the new lift i got for my jeep is.

"oh yeah? that's um... neat"

anybody get Ole' Bucky...

"Singer Buck Owens, the flashy rhinestone cowboy who shaped the sound of country music with hits like ``Act Naturally'' and brought the genre to TV on the long-running ``Hee Haw,'' died Saturday. He was 76."

Damnit, someone on my list needs to DIE!!

Anybody have this Guy:

Gene Pitney, a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame whose hits included ``Town Without Pity'' and ``Only Love Can Break a Heart,'' died Wednesday at a hotel in Wales after playing a show, his agent said. He was 65.

seriously, stop with the "anyone have this guy" posts.

Dead Pool Picks List

Anybody checking Todrick's link or taking him seriously?

Me neither.

i'm just wondering why the fuck anyone would be dumb anough to ask if anyone picked a certain person... especially the people who didn't even bother to play.

No shit man.

I've gone from hero to zero with this thing. Whatthehell.

Obviously they are doing it just to frustrate you!

Anyone picked this person...

June Pointer, the youngest of the singing Pointer Sisters known for the 1970s and 1980s hits ``I'm So Excited,'' ``Fire,'' and ``Slow Hand,'' has died, her family said Wednesday. She was 52.

no, but next year im picking you.

Good...get me out of this crazy world...

lol

Damn...this is quite the drought for scoring any dead pool points....

here's a favorite from a couple years ago to pass the time....

A few days late, and he's not dead, but....

Tick Tock Tick Tock

Helms has dementia...like THAT'S something new.

Kidding!

For those who care...

Earl Woods Dies

If you don't know who he is, it's Tiger Woods' dad... Curious to know if anyone had him on their list.... Hmmmmm...

- Air B

Fats Domino is in the hospital...

Am I the only one who picked him? I think I may be.

C'mon Fats! O:-)

thi sis just rediculous.. .someone needs to die SOON

Everyone is dying who no one picks. I say there be a bonus for the next coot that dies.

I can do that...

We'll Call it the "Jesus Fucking Christ, It's About Time!" Bonus...

15pts

unless we get major objections.

this is insane.... NO ONE is dying that matters

No shit...this drought has to be some sort of record....20 picks per person, many with one foot in the grave, and still...no one dies!

Damned modern medicine. What we need to do is bring back bleedings.

I'm all in favor of the "somebody die already" bonus. Come on Jack Klugman!!!

you never know,... someone could hold a "one foot in the grave" convention that ends up getting targeted by Terrorists...

God that would suck from a core keeping standpoint.

Any reason there are no picks on the Dead Pool website? Everythings gone....

That's just odd... I'm on my phone, but when I get home I will take a look...

I'm a bit puzzled, you and I are the only ones with access to it, and I know I have not touched it in months.... Did you break it

That's not me...I don't have access to it....

My Bad... it is chia.

Havent touched it in months.

yeah neither have i... the database is simply empty.

I do have a backup of everyones picks... but it may take a bit to get them all put back in...

Eric Gregg just died. How can any baseball fan forget that strikezone he gave Livan Hernandez during the 1997 NLCS??

Hey did you know that the dead pool site is DOWN???? I can't check to see who is on anyone's list!

Zarchawi is dead. I'm sure some people had him on their list. And fortunately for them, he wasn't vaporized.

Good luck putting the site back together.

Yeah we know

Nobody had Billy Preston?

Still waiting on the site...

really tied up with work... if someone wants to help me out that would be great... i will try and get some done today.

What do i need to do to fix this. Aaron Spelling died.

the power of resurection?

seiously will be working on it this weekend... sorry real life has ben a bit too real lately so i have not been much for spare time.

Did anyone pick Todrick's website in the pool?

It was only a few months old. Should be worth a shitload of points....

FYI- Dude which wrote "the Anarchists Cookbook" kicked it saturday..

Here is the death of the day..........

Dog From 'Frazier' Dies At LA Home

POSTED: 3:06 pm PDT June 26, 2006

NEW YORK -- The dog that drove Frasier crazy has died.

Eddie was played on the television series by a Jack Russell terrier named Moose. His trainer tells People magazine that Moose was 16 years old when he died at her home in Los Angeles.

He had been retired for the last six years of his life.

Moose also starred in the movie "My Dog Skip" as the older Skip.

NOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!

Not Eddie.

R.I.P. little buddy.

Hey, did you know that the XOC Dead Pool website is down?

Ken Lay just kicked it. Did anyone have him? I think its a valid question to ask since we can't check the site.

--Yea AP news, He died at age 64 in -one of his homes in Colorado--confirmed!! --JIMBO

By the way Todrick... I'm just giving you a hard time because its fun... Hope you're taking it with a grain of salt.

Chia, on the other hand..... Fix the site already!!! Quit jacking around, dipshit!!!

I dont know how. All I had access to was filling in the info on all the celebrties.

sorry guys... here's the scoop... got a new computer.... took the monitor/keyboard/mouse off the old on for th enew one...

old one is on and networked... but not all drives.

need time to hook up said goodies and share the entire drive to get to the lists... sadly i am behind on projects for 3 clients and recently got hit with 3 more.... so i am hellishly busy.

CHIA FUCKED IT UP!!!

I want to put him on my dead pool list.

celebs are back in... except for a couple of mine...

still need to link them to the players and also compile a list of the dead.... if anyoen would be so kind as to do that part for me I'd be greatful:

Name
Date of Birth
date of death
Age at death
Why They are Famous
Cause of Death

for each... that would freakin rock....

should have this all sorted out in the next couple days

Ill start tommorow on the info.

thanks

got a few players in... going through old emails looking up everyones list is a pain, but its the only way to do it... the hardest part is figuring out who's list goes with who

Syd Barrett, Pink Floyd founder, dies at age 60.

If there's anything I can do to help repair the site/enter information/whatever.... let me know. I've got tons of free time.

Well.... a little bit of free time.

Red Buttons.

Mickey Spillane just passed away.... I don't know if anyone chose him, but he was 88 years old.

Jack Warden dead at 85.

Mako died. I finally got some Points.

only if i get around to fixing it

seriously... i'll get it hammered out soon.

If i knew what i was doing more i would try but programming isnt my thing.

Hmm.. Wonder if I'm going to get my points before *I* shit the bed.

Whoah...I know he's not on anyone's list, but Bruno Kirby died.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060816/ap_on_en_mo/obit_kirby

Glenn Ford.

I guess this is never gonna get fixed. I cant remember if I picked Steve Irwin or not.

No kidding.

What the hell happened to Todrick anyway?

Should I have put him on my list? :p

I know nobody had him...but Ed Bradley bought the farm today.

I didn't even know he was sick.

How many points would you have got if you put the "XOC Dead Pool" in your dead pool?

I'm just askin.

Jack Palance Dies at age 87.

I had him on my dead pool list . So even though the dead pool is dead, I'm still keeping a score in my head, and I'm winning scmhucks! :p

I finally got one!

After 23 months, I finally nailed one of the bastards.

So long, Robert Altman.

By the way... here's the list I sent to Todrick at the beginning of the year, with dead people highlighted.

Paul Harvey
Larry King
Gerald Ford (DEAD) - 27 + 10 for december +25 if he's the last points. (62 total)
Mickey Rooney

Any of you have your list handy where we can check it?

I think I have 154 points, maybe up to 184.

Here's mine (mine survived the website crash/death):

Gerald Ford (DEAD) - 27 + 25 if he's the last points. (52 total)
Doris Day
Fats Domino
James Brown (DEAD) 47 points ( +50 if I was the only one) - 98 points possibly.
Lady Bird Johnson
Zsa Zsa Gabor
B.B. King
Richard Attenborough
Robert Altman (DEAD) 89 Point - 39+50 bonus (I think I'm the only one who picked him)
Les Paul
Tony Curtis
Robert McNamara
John Madden
Al Unser, Sr.
John Astin
Roger Moore
Don Rickles
Charlie Watts
Cyd Charisse
Larry Hagman

If my numbers are correct - that makes 239 points total.

James Brown

Booya! I got another!

Or should I say...

"Woooo! Yeah!"

Gerald Ford

Chaching!!.. not.

Would be, if the damn thing ever got fixed.

Dang...a third one for me. (But nearly everyone had Ford, so he ain't worth many points).

I think I'm up to 239 points.

Edit to add - make that 259 - 10 point december bonuses for James Brown and Gerald Ford.

Hey, who picked Saddam? you got some points!
