Around SBN: Events Cause Mariners To Lose To Rangers

Top o' the Mortem: Reminder


Tomorrow is the deadline for this year's bereavement pool, and I've still got quite a few outstanding accounts. So far, here is the list of folks from whom I've received picks AND money:

boobs
boobs' mom
JohnU
nlt-Andrew
Joe Nolan's Glasses

Here are those who have sent me picks, but from whom I have yet to receive money in the mail:

RedInWrigleyville
Madville
BK
Justin
BengalRed
HighlifeMan
PeteyHendrix
NYCRedsFan

I've received money but so far no picks from ctnyc, which the two of us have discussed, and I'm on my coworkers to get their stuff in. So that leaves the following folks who have expressed interest but so far sent me nothing:

crolfer
brian b
brian b's wife
tHan
joshuaR
caleb
alan
red menace
johnU's coworker?

We're fine. Most of the money is likely in the mail, but if you're not down as having sent money but sent it long ago, let me know. For those who haven't sent me picks yet, it's OK. You've got another day. Plenty of time to put together a list and get a check in the mail. If anyone else wants to play but hasn't yet expressed interest, let me know and you're in. 

I will be out of town starting tomorrow, which gives me time to receive all the checks in the mail. The roster post probably won't go up until next weekend.

Now get those picks in!

Sorry

Doesn’t look like I’ll be able to do it this year. Next year, I’m in…

fyi

I need to remind all you folks that just because I am old does NOT mean you get to put me on your list.

Well, go ahead and put me there, I suppose.

See if I worry.

If you get killed in an embarrassing enough way, or by sharks,

you will make CNN.

Mads will think of something.

I've said this for a long time

One of my goals in life is that my death make the news. If it does, it means one of two things:

1) I had contributed to society enough that my death was worth mentioning

B) I died in such a spectacular fashion, it was worth mentioning

Doesn't count that way

I have to be mentioned by name, preferably all three to make sure,

There are lot of ways to get on CNN's death report:

1. Become a transsexual suicide bomber
2.Develop one’s serial killing skills
3. Achieve interstate pedophilia status
4. Become know as the ‘Naked IT Guy’
5. Kill the Pope, The Dali Lama or Ryan Seacrest

the list goes on…

I mailed my check last week, you should have it no later than today

Let me know if you don’t get it this week and I’ll cancel the other one and mail you a new one.

That's what the high school girls you scared the crap out of

are going to tell their shrinks when they get older.
