Christmas card arrives 93 years late

Happy Birthday ATJ

The Christmas rush at the malls seems to begin earlier every year. My wife and I decided to get an early start on the shopping this morning and the crowds were just overwhelming. A shopping trip that usually takes us about 1 1/2 hours took us about 4 hours to complete.

He would have been on my next year's list as well.

I think a one person on death row limit per team is a good compromise, although my preference is for them not to be allowed as candidates. Personally, I would like to see the minimum age raised to 18, but 16 is fine. I had advocated for CNN as an obituary source, but I think the New York Times will work as well. Regarding the change in the running of the DDP, as I said before, OOO is a very good choice and it will be in good hands with him at the helm. He has a very impeccable reputation, is very well organized and is a great source of knowledge when it comes to candidates, so I do not have any problems with him both uploading the teams and entering his own team in the competition. In my view, OOO should not be required to reveal his team beforehand, and if I was him, I would not have posted any of my potential choices. I am looking forward to DDP 2008 with great anticipation, as I am sure that there will be many good teams out there and the competition will be very stiff. Especially when it comes to the top positions of the leaderboard. Regards, ff

I voted for Billy Graham

Well done Rude Kid and Siegfried Baboon! You have made the DDP the cream of the crop among the deadpools out there. Good luck Octopus of Odstock, under your management, I am sure that the DDP is in very capable hands. Regards, ff

Sorry to hear about your sister's illness LB. My thoughts are with you and your family. Regards, ff

I voted for Vidal as well

Indianapolis has the best chance. Both teams will play each other at the RCA Dome in Indianapolis on Nov 4th. I quite agree, ff. We're looking forward to that game. A win for New England will probably mean a bye and home field advantage throughout the playoffs. Bugger, Indianapolis lost at home! Final score, New England 24, Indianapolis 20

Happy Birthday VT!

He needs that obit though. If he gets it, you have to say he's favourite to retain his title, but you're pushing him all the way! Mehmed Uzun has, finally, got a UK obit in the Times.

My deepest sympathies to you and your family BHB Regards, ff

Towards the end of last year, I had made the suggestion to the organizers of having a US based media, such as CNN included as an obit source, but it was turned down. I do agree with raising the minimum age of candidates from 16 to 18. The change that I would like to see though would be for the selection of people on death row to be disallowed.

Happy Birthday Handrejka!

Bob Denard died on Oct 13th, so his name should be removed from the list as well.
