Joey Russ

Matt Cappotelli, a hit for at least four people, and I suspect that he’s very likely to be on the teams of Allen Kirshner and Gerard Tierney...

Every team gets a hit for the finals. Yippee...

This link is good enough for the Hare's I believe.

Hits so far: Bobby Zarin - January 13th, 2018 (Joey, Sean, Torva, Cow, Prophet, Book) Craig MacGregor - February 9th, 2018 (Chorizo) Alva Campbell - March 3rd, 2018 (Prophet) Stephen Hawking - March 14th, 2018 (Joey, Sean, Fixed Business, Torva, Cow, Prophet, theoldlady, Handrejka, Unknown Man, Book, Yorkshire, Toast) Emiliano Mondonico - March 29th, 2018 (Cow) Michael Martin - April 29th, 2018 (Bibliogryphon) Tessa Jowell - May 12th, 2018 (Joey, Sean, Torva, Cow, Prophet, Chorizo, Handrejka, Unknown Man, Book, Yorkshire, Toast) Margot Kidder - May 13th, 2018 (Handrejka) Jalal Nurridin - June 4th, 2018 (Joey) Let me know if I missed somebody...

Assuming he gets the obit, that means I will be one of the first teams to break over the 100 point margin this year along with Buckets of Blood. Dead pooling aside, a really sad case, and I hope his family can find some peace. RIP

Eugene Pitt of the Jive Five is dead according to Facebook...

Very early July I’m guessing. Think the terminally ill wrestler dying in July trend will become a new trend... EDIT: Looks like I just killed him.

There’s nothing wrong with swearing on the forum truthfully. The people on the forum are usually either adults or teens that already know most of the words anyways. If there was a huge issue with it, that fucking swear filter would still be on. I’m not saying swearing is good all of the time of course, but I believe that you’re in the minority for being against swear words...

I’m now going to replace Cynthia Heimel (I’m still stunned that she didn’t receive a QO) with the heavily picked Terry Jones.

I feel ya now.

Fuck it. The surviving names on my June team are either not going to die or not going to obit. 1. Spencer P Jones 2. Pete Frates 3. Kulsoom Nawaz 4. Hector Timerman 5. Genesis P-Orridge

And that potential stress as well. Man, that’ll kill him instantly for sure...

Lindsay Cappotelli blog update on his journey with his glioblastoma. Perhaps most notably, she mentioned that he has had hospice care at his home for almost a month.

I doubt he’d be a good idea and possibility for 2019...

I do agree with Phantom that this should be more of a 2018 midterms thread rather than a thread of your own predictions. Otherwise, would it be okay if every single person be allowed to make their own political predictions thread, or a “How will I do in this dead pool” thread type?

Trump is no Ronald Reagan. He’ll pick someone just to please his voters. He doesn’t care what others think about his choice, he’s a narcissist, so he only cares about himself.

Quite surprised that Joe Jackson is a solo for gcreptile. Congrats on picking him.

The best case scenario that could happen is one of Kennedy’s family members replacing him. Knowing trump though, he’s going to elect someone who only believes with his beliefs...

He was a swing vote for many major issues, perhaps most importantly with gay rights. Not sure what the future of the Supreme Court will be now especially since it’s likely that there won’t be a swing vote...

That’s Stefan Karl off the sub bench for me then...

I think Edmondson definitely has a chance. Since Stitt and Cornett aren’t popular with teachers and there were a lot more of them voting than in the past, he could become the next governor. Besides, they already had a Democratic governor as recently as the early 2000’s...

In a hunger strike against immigration policies.

Because a) Olivia Newton-John is actually on the list and b) Grease 2 was a much worse sequel to the original one...
