PrintIn a matter of days we've had some big movement in our little pool: Elizabeth Edwards succumbed to a shitty and much publicized battle with cancer, and Bob Feller died tonight at 92. As we go into the final push, BK has a 35-point lead on me (which was whittled down to 2 before tonight), and Madville and my mum are still in this thing, with two weeks to go.
This will likely be the last update before the final standings.
1. BK: 297 points (Dennis Hopper, Ernie Harwell, Art Linkletter, John Wooden, George Steinbrenner, Barbara Billingsley, Bob Feller)
2. boobs: 262 points (Dennis Hopper, Ernie Harwell, Kama Chinen, Robert Byrd, George Steinbrenner, Elizabeth Edwards)
3. Madville: 249 points (Lena Horne, John Forsythe, Mitch Miller, Sparky Anderson, Bob Feller)
4. boobs' mom: 240 points (Dennis Hopper, Robert Byrd, Simon MacCorkindale, Elizabeth Edwards)
5. nlt-Andrew: 212 points (Dennis Hopper, Robert Byrd, John Wooden, George Steinbrenner, Bob Feller)
6. boobs' friend Steve: 203 points (Ernie Harwell, Mary Josephine Ray, Kama Chinen, John Wooden, Robert Byrd, Elizabeth Edwards)
7. Brian B's wife: 197 points (Dennis Hopper, Art Linkletter, John Wooden, Simon MacCorkindale)
8. Joe Nolan's Glasses: 193 points (John Wooden, Laurent Fignon, Simon MacCorkindale)
9. Petey Hendrix: 180 points (Dennis Hopper, Robert Byrd, John Wooden, George Steinbrenner)

I agree it's morbid
but as long as there’s life in me, I intend to enjoy it.
The trick is to outlast the list.

I sort of agree.
It’s all in fun, but it’s pretty fucked up.

But you have in so many other ways
see what I did there with uzr? it’s like a LOL cats saber-pun combo.--Verka Serduchka
Also, I'm a little scared of BK now.
If I ever make his list I’ll be very afraid.
"I bet that sex Bengals fan is really pissed now." -DT3428
BK got lucky
He just chose names of people who were old or sick.
Crap, anybody could get lucky if they used that strategy.
It takes more courage to put “healthy” old people on the hit list.
I trust this organization. I trust this organization. I trust this organization. -- Justin
I've found that my "luck" has me much higher in the standings than your "courage" has you

I would rather you be lucky
as it tends to make you a little more human in this spirited (ahem) competition.
But I would be right up there if the people I had expected to do what they should do had done that.

Come on, Mads
You and I both know that I’m not famous enough to register on either CNN or ESPN if I died. That’s why I’m putting Slyde on my list next year.

I'll be listed on the Sofa King website if that happens
Follow on Twitter: @redreporter. Buy The Wire-to-Wire Reds today!
By this time next year after you and Johnu have written the expose on the affair between Johnny Bench and RobDibble
Your names will be house words.
"Men today are pussies or gay" Aja Warren
Bench always denied
… a relationship with Dibble.
There is some evidence to support his statement.
So unless Dibs spills the wine, not much we can do there but libel them.

better than being known as BM
"And a high fly ball to center field. He hit it a ton. And the 2010 National League Central Division Champs are the Cincinnati Reds!"
I had hoped to make this a little more basebally than that
I do firmly think next year I will add Skip Schumacher.
I have NO idea why I dislike this baseball player beyond who he plays for. He just seems like a guy who ought to fall off the planet to make room for something more interesting.
I trust this organization. I trust this organization. I trust this organization. -- Justin
He's a grown man called Skip

I trust this organization. I trust this organization. I trust this organization. -- Justin
Julie Andrew and MTM and any f those other cheesey perky loser stars from the 1960 and 1970s
Talented yes
Attractive – NO (Mary has nice enough legs but what a mouth…)
Precursers to Shakira – without them there would beno Shakira.

Carly Simon gets my vote.

Nothing that a current hair style couldn’t ‘do’

I take it that you're not buying what her hips are telling?

That by itself doesn’t created weirdness but folks who continue to be orange over more than, say, a week, that could suggest a different scenario.

I think the orange tint is from the lighting at this particular performance.

if by creepy you mean freakin' amazing, then you sir are correct

Sorru Josh...I just don't find her horse face that exciting, and she lacks style and taste.

I must come up with a Colt 45-ish verse for Shakira.
