Indeed, and the tonnage of information will likely inform DDP picks next year.

Updated - and we see gcreptile, on the strength of his unusual names becoming his usual solo hits, taking the lead as we round the 1/6th pole. Upstart HDS having a strong start, and a few of the top regulars filtering in below him. As before, if you think points were missed, do please let me know.

John Reid has died, aged 92.

Herbert Kretzmer:

Ask Glenn Miller, a lot can change in a few miles of travel as well!

That'd be surreal

I think, of all the research exercises ever undertaken on these forums, this thread is by far the most monumental effort. I've enjoyed reading all of it. Much respect @Ulitzer95.

Cheers. I will be finished the 70s by the end of November. The way things currently stand, I will not being doing 80s, 90s, 00s... for now. I might wait at least a year before jumping into the 80s. No rush for it because few musicians from that decade are dead or dying at this point. Also, doing 1952–1979 has been exhausting. Chews up so much of my time.

That doesn't make much sense to me. Must be an American thing.

After seeing the coverage of the closing of pubs and bars in Liverpool last night I doubt that any measures are going to have a great effect when people of that mentality are acting as they do.

Australian sport was in mourning on Wednesday following revelations of the sudden death of women's footballer and former baseball star Jacinda Barclay at the age of 29. Barclay, who played for the Greater Western Sydney Giants in the professional Australian Rules women's competition and represented the country at five baseball World Cups, died earlier this week, local media reported.

You forgot about Tom Seaver.

Sods law something you started because of lockdown will end just in time for the second lockdown by looks of it!

Movie poster artist Paul Crifo dead aged 98. Solely responsible for such film posters as Monty Python & The Holy Grail, The Great Gatsby (1974), Play it Again Sam & The Producers. He also collaborated on dozens more, included uncredited work on several Bond film posters.

Post an uncropped meme of me laughing at Trump getting shot in the face and he’ll proper lose his shit

There are people who do not listen properly They react not to what someone has said, but to what they think the person said, or what they expect them to say. There are also people who do not read things with full attention. They react not to what has actually been written, but to what they expect it to say.

So Grim stays out in front, but who is that I see creeping up behind him into second place, and only a hit away? The field is bunching up behind, and a couple of late hits or a wildcard could jump someone out of the field and into contention. An Alex Trebek hit at this stage could blow the competition wide open! As always, let me know if there any errors (like your wildcard not being counted Clorox!),and keep your eyes peeled for the more obscure departures.
