Feels weird seeing "yiff in hell furfags" talk. It's like I stepped back into 2005.

I can't remember the last time a regular round in a KoS has felt this much like a grand finale.

Yeah, picks on my music team are going to stay (heh) unless they die, or become popular enough a DDP pick I can risk leaving them off entirely. Like I dropped Duke Fakir due to being on enough other teams and still wrote his obit, so gambled right there. When waking up this morning Stay was one of the first things the 60s radio played. And no reference to his death so it were coincidence.

If it's down to Shapiro vs Walz, which some sources have indicated, definitely fingers crossed for the latter. I would've accepted the "he's crappy on the issues but uber popular in Pennsylvania" mercenary logic for Shapiro a couple of weeks ago but the more skeletons come out the sourer I get. Whilst Walz might lack that direct swing state advantage but is all around better otherwise, and his "weird" talking point really shows a strong understanding of how to define the race.

He was picked way back in 2012, so yes.

The "how much I care about them" obit length discrepancies are becoming so blatant it's a no brainer I'm passing on the reins Praying with every bone in my body the next five months aren't a cricket apocalypse

Finally updated again after a month... just need to update Lists of the Lost/Missed, and Theme Team League now. Put the LotL/M names on the front page for now will work on moving them to the appropriate pages tomorrow. I checked the past few pages of this thread as well as my forum like activity, let me know if I missed any others.

Both Madges are alright, but do the least for me in a strong batch.

Watch as #300 is fittingly DI-y. Carter could fit that bill. Maybe Johnny Gilbert. The "Reaper has a twisted sense of humor" one would be Scott Thorson.

Spent about two hours assembling a team, and getting annoyed in hopes I understood Ivor Novellos properly. It's not going to give away any trade secrets, but I liked seeing that ye olde TJS pick John McCabe would've qualified if this game were run in 2015.
