    He is a huge football fan. My guess is that the fact that he did not tweet during the Super Bowl means he is real trouble or high off his ass because he is in real trouble. February 24th.

    Who needs a computer programme to do it when we have our very own Statto in the form of Rotten Ali!

    I was half expecting that, bless you. Thing is, no matter how much you talk me up, I still only get about 15 out 50. It would be a fluke to have more that say 25 out of 50 and damn near impossible to approach the 50 unless some mega programme were built to crunch the numbers with such accuracy that left no power to keep the lights on.

     

    Oooo I love it when you start talking numbers!

     

    I think that 25 is nearly impossible, especially with the level of fame that the Committee members use. In the pool that I am in where you pick 68 names (with similar fame thresholds), the record is 27 hits and that is for all entries since 1972. You could maybe get near 25 if you made the list of anyone that will get an Obit (so the DDP rules). Although a list of 50 Kate Grangers would not be very interesting.

    Alas there will be no reveal tonight as I got mired in coding issues which I have only now just resolved, so we're looking at sometime between Wednesday and Friday...

    I'm amazed that you get it done so quickly. Well done. I would have it up sometime in March if I organized.

    I don't know him at all but in reading his posts I went from

    1) liking him as a creative guy who won't let people tell him what to think (I like that he is Vegan that loves MMA and boxing); to

    2) disliking him for his preachy, I'm better than you nonsense. "I will give everything away to PETA and anti-whaling ships" It has been brought up that he could give money to AIDS or hunger or pediatric cancer but in fairness it is his money so he can do what he wants with it. My opinion is that he is a smart guy and that he knows that he will get more run out of PETA then if he donated it to a cancer charity. They are naming a ship after him that rams into whale ships; isn't that more exciting to track than an Ebola hospital; and then finally

    3) realize that he is a scared guy that is the same as anyone else. The fact that he is making a point of saying that he hasn't watched the Simpson's in 20 years should about cover it. Why would you disavow what most would consider to be your most memorable creation unless you were really scared. I'd be scared to. I wish him well on his journey.

    Fuck, this makes me feel bad jokin' about it. Usually jokes about dementia are funny but not when they go wandering off, that's really undignified. I feel bad for him and his family. Poor fucker. I hope this isn't how it finishes for him.

     

     

    I get the impression that his wife wandered him off...

     

    "an attorney for the ailing radio personality's wife said the former "Top 40" host had been removed from the country"

     

    Maybe it was the "Creeper".

    If I'm correct, this means Drunkasaskunk now ascends to the top of the DDP for what must be the first time in over a decade.

     

    Strike my earlier post....the Misers will be second

     

    Wrong, you're third!

     

    Darn it... but its still the highest that I've been. Now starts the fall down in the standings until I end up 12th or 15th. Thanks for all the hard work MIB.

    As someone that has recently inherited running a long running US-based game, I have crazy respect for MIB. I had only 110 teams (albeit with 68 selections) and I was up and running after the DDP this morning and I don't have pictures, etc. Amazing job.

    This is a bad pick.....Regardless if he makes it when if you repick him; is the juice worth the squeeze? List him until he falls and breaks his hip? With Biggs at least you get some chatter. May the Ugly live forever.
