Str8cashhomey_medium 

Here are the standings for the Red Reporter Bereavement Pool, which is about a third or so through. Remember, the pool runs through the end of the year.

1. Brian B's wife: 97 points (Charlton Heston, Robert Mondavi)
2. Madville: 61 points (Bob Howsam)
3. BLee: 41 points (Charlton Heston)
3. boobs' roommate: 41 points (Charlton Heston)
3. JD: 41 points (Charlton Heston)
3. JD's wife: 41 points (Charlton Heston)
3. Red Menace: 41 points (Charlton Heston)

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.

alan’s system was to pick as many Star Wars actors as possible

What do you mean, "blank slate"?

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?

How did no one have Sydney Pollack?

this was, i think, four season later

really? you stopped watching when they whacked pussy?

What do you mean, "blank slate"?

by boobs on May 27, 2008 2:15 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

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.

can someone explain to me what G4 is?

i thought it was like a nerdy gamer channel, but right now theyve got an entire show on weed. it pretty fucking great.

What do you mean, "blank slate"?

by boobs on May 27, 2008 2:25 AM EDT reply actions   0 recs

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.

ctnyc hits with Harvey Korman

He moves into second place with 69.

"Woohoo!" Uh... I mean "How sad"

Dammit, how am I supposed to feel right now? I always liked Harvey Korman, though.

Bo Diddley just died!

When it comes to Phil Mickelson...Marty's not a fan.
