Wormfarmer

Looks like Wayne Eddy has passed. Surely a radio legend in his part of Minnesota, but is a blip on the radar anywhere else? Hoping for some help on a QO........

I have your hits scored up to date for a total of 36 pts and a contender very late in the game!

I had included all your hits in the table, but missed 3 pts for your solo of Paige. Also, with the missed obit at Q, your scored hits are 10 not 11. Corrections made and it did move you up one place in the standings!

My scoring table has already included credit for MacGowan, and also Field at the F spot, for 3 total hits and 11 pts.

I have started a new thread for next year's edition. I have given players 20 days (til Sep 10th) to construct and submit a list. Please see the new rules for minor changes and clarifications. Thanks!!

I got the team lists posted above. Known hits were highlighted in my personal spreadsheet but did not transfer to this posting. I remember that happening last year too, after the fact of course. I will update posted scores, maybe monthly.

Over 11 months since I started this pool and it is still open for entries...... come one, come all. Still enjoying these reruns on MeTV channel. Once the first character goes, the pool will be closed. A lot of players (who picked incorrectly for the first character to pass) will be instantly eliminated, and I will post a scoring table for the remaining players who continue on.

My total of 27 points did include 1 point for the hit of Hardy. Could it be another hit you are missing? Otherwise, I think it's correct.

Just updated scoring table with wannamaker, Captain Cho and msc. Those that didn't give me a score please check my work.

Hit table and scoreboard both updated through all above notifications.... I am actually quite surprised this pool has gone over a year! I would have estimated about 6 - 8 months.

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.
