Wormfarmer

See the third post on page 1 for a draft scoring table and standings. Please keep posting updates, corrections, or complete scoring reports as needed! Thank you!

Thank you everyone for the scores posted so far. Huge help. But I have jumped the gun by a month it seems . . . . the pool runs through the END of August this year (see page 1 rules), so scoring will continue for another month. But I will work on a standings table with the information that has been provided to date, to show us where we are in the game. Keep those updates coming . . . . .

Thanks to those who have posted their hit list and scores....please keep them coming. I have a lot of work to do .... If I run another year it will probably start Aug 10th Sept 10.....with a minor tweak or two, like dropping that blasted Vowel Movement bonus!

Shannen Doherty has passed and left an inheritance of 85 points to Wormfarmer. Anyone else in the will?

NFL great Jim Otto died on May 19, leaving an inheritance of 38 points to Wormfarmer.

Bloody cripes! I thought my pick of Vic was out of left field! And here I've only bagged the lowest of six cards dealt....y'all make things tough!

PM'd mine too, but posting here later. Despite my frequent poor showings, this is actually one of my favorite pools! It is similar in format to a pool I used to run amongst friends. I've always kind of wanted to start it up again, but don't want to step on the toes of our good host here, Cap'n Cho. Thanks C-Cho, for running this one! 500 princess Bajrakitiyabha 450 marita camacho quiros 400 jimmy carter 350 james clayton flowers 300 anne baker (biographer) 275 james c floyd (aerospace) 250 ruth johnson colvin 225 frank caprio 200 wayne eddy 180 david j. linden 160 esther rantzen 140 simon cowell (zoologist) 120 kathy brown (dance music) 100 michael tilson thomas 85 shannen doherty 70 linda nolan 55 james whale 50 steve macmichael 45 noam chomsky 40 david irving 21 khaleda zia score as of july 16: 225

Does Josip Manolic bring my total to 666? Losing but spooky . . . . .

Beaten fair and square this year, but soooooo close. I was only a Louis Gossett jr, Charlie Bird and Eric Carmen away from winning this match. I just don't have the research capabilities to find those bedridden African Bushmen like you big hitters do. Congrats to @wannamaker and I will fade to the sidelines again.....

I always enjoyed M Emmet Walsh's appearances in films. He's gone at 88, and MariNisia scores as a result.

Actually, I had missed your post entirely. I just was familiar with Steve Lawrence so when he died I recognized him as a hit and did the update. Got your point up for Guillemin now, and thanks for keeping track.

Steve Lawrence (of Steve and Eydie fame) update just posted, 5 teams yet to get on the scoreboard.

2 quick hits (Iris Apfel and Eleanor Collins) brings me up to 4 hits total, but still nobody in the real points. Floundering again . . . .

I note Seiji Ozawa was a hit back on Feb 6th. Not for me though.

That is okay if it takes a while for some to see the post and respond. I am in no hurry. In fact, what I am asking for is a summaries closer to the game end, and I will create a leaderboard from that, double check frontrunner scores, and then just monitor the obits for the last couple of weeks for any late changes. So far no one has proposed any idea what could have happened to my scoring page though, very strange thing I've not had happen here before . . .
