Noticed that Bruce Leitzke should have an extra 2 points since he was born after 1938 as well...

Yeah, I’d guess that if it weren’t for the guaranteed drop 40 bonus for McCain a few other teams might not have picked him (although he still would’ve appeared on my squad)...

Er, not really.

Did another interview a few days ago. I think he should see the year out comfortably...

So, a bit of a random request I know, but would any of you be willing to send me a sample list of 50 (could be dead or alive) right now? I’m trying to test something out for the Crowdsource list process next year which could make the process for the host a little bit easier...

Congrats to Torva and Toast on your trio with Neil Simon.

Sticking with Wouk since the last poll only lasted a day, and I want to give some time before I choose someone else...

No, it’s two deaths in two days. McCain died on the 25th, Simon died on the 26th.

I went for Herman Wouk.

Last time he picked someone who was only worth 5 points (as far as I know) was Jack Ramsay, so he probably didn’t pick him for the same reason I didn’t pick him, 5 points is too few points in the grand scheme of things.

I got told elsewhere that he died 9 years after Ted Kennedy from the same cancer too. Now that’s a coincidence.

You gotta love the onion sometimes.

So everyone picked McCain then. Also, since it been three months since Satoru Anzaki has died, I replaced him with Tim Conway...

Amazing survivors this lot has been. 4 of them has died so far (McCain, Stefansson, Jones, Franklin)...

With McCain's death, I have now broken my own point record by one point. Definitely a better year for me than last year.

What? Me make a mistake like that? You were just a bit blind, that's all.

Shame to here. Don’t really agree with his politics, but he was definitely one of the better politicians out there. We really need more like him in today’s world.

McCain is dead. Kudos to the 7 of you who chose him.

Started my Fall 2018 list on Thursday, currently featuring: Carrie Anne by The Hollies 1969 by The Stooges Young Americans by David Bowie Running The World by Jarvis Cocker Across 110th Street by Bobby Womack No Rain by Blind Melon 10:15 Saturday Night by The Cure Draft Morning by The Byrds Now I’m wondering which song someone will call uncool from the above list.

And now reports are coming in that Mueller plans on indicting Trump Jr soon. Fun times...

Guitarist Dickey Betts postpones concerts due to a ‘mild stroke’.

It showed up to me.

Better known to my generation as Barnacle Boy from Spongebob (but yes, I know he has done so much more in his career)...

Give me one example of someone whose life got prolonged due to stopping treatment.

Er, your 4 hours late to the party with that one...
