Update time with dramatic news... The hits: Mildred Kornman, one of the last living silent movie actors, thanks to her being a very young child in the Our Gang movies, gets a late New York Times obit, and CalebH and Predictor rejoice. Mark Souder is a substitution hit for SalmonMousse and Banana. Guess I might have picked him, too! Irene Papas and Jean-Luc Godard are hits, too, as you pointed out above. Plus, we have colourful wrestler Antonio Inoki and the activist Sacheen Littlefeather, who are a nice one-two punch for SalmonMousse and quite a few other players, drol, for example. The dramatic news is that this one-two punch puts SalmonMousse at the top, and even with a little distance - as we enter the fourth quarter. There's also been quite the rise by Predictor. We are still about 270 points away from the winning score of last year, by the way.

Indeed.

So a couple of hours before the official announcement, but a little later than I expected. Edit: But yes, going back through this thread, it means we were given a bit of a play to watch.

John McCain once said that Russia is a gas station masquerading as a country. The United Kingdom has to decide now if it wants to be an off-shore tax haven masquerading as a country.
