Alan actually hit with Howard Dill, who died this week of liver cancer, but unfortunately the Pumpkin King was not important enough to make the front page of CNN.com, or anywhere on CNN.com, for that matter. He actually doesn't even have a Wikipedia page, which should have disqualified him immediately. Anyway, that's one down for Alan with no points.
Here are the updated rosters:

Incidentally...
that pumpkin guy was kind of a big deal in Canadia.
But that article says he was diagnosed with terminal cancer last summer, anyway. Doesn’t that violate a rule of some sort?

I didn't stop exactly there
That was the last plot point of consequence I remember. After that there was a long period where nothing happened and I drifted away. I caught a few episodes of the last season because of the lead-in and I thought maybe I should catch up for the finale. Then everyone was upset with the finale because apparently nothing happened. I wasn’t surprised.

know your enemy
I’m checking out Brian B’s wife’s list and there’s little opportunity for me to gain ground. We both have Castro, Sharon, Eunice Kennedy Shriver, Ron Santo, Kirk Douglas and Bo Diddley. And her pick of Olivia de Havilland was long a staple of my lists before I retired her because she was getting too old to be worth much. Also I think she wants to live to see her sister buried.

it's just awesome
It took over what was once TechTV. From wikipedia: The name “G4” originally stood for the four generations of video games (text, sprites, polygons and textures). It now stands for Games, Gear, Gadgets and Gigabytes. That’s just good stuff.
