Predictor

At one point, I thought he was the dude who did all the TCM intros and interviews.

Just to be clear (and for search engine purposes), "Chris Carins" is meant to be the Kiwi cricketer Chris Cairns. I made a typo in my PM.

For the record, my team ended up with 10 hits in total: Bouquet, Burgess, Perez, Hossain, Littlefeather, Marx, Pele, Steiner, Trintignant & Turnbull. This amounted to 108 points, which I think is right outside top 30.

No Eva Marie Saint this year either. Looks like we only have Angie Dickinson in the category of classic film actress. Isn't she in good health for her age?

Congratulations Spade. You truly are a deathpooling genius. 180 points!

Edit: Wrong thread.

My performance this year was so unexpectedly good that I am actually tempted to give it another go. It'll be the only thing I compete in this year. We'll see, I have a few days left to decide...

Thanks, completely missed that. You know, I'm actually an excellent deathpooler because my picks do end up dead. There's just this tiny little problem of them happening years and decades afterwards.

Picking 95+ was risky because you never know which ones will give you bonuses. In the end, I am happy with 5 solos and 6 duos and no non-bonus hit. 25th place (so far) with 65 points is decent for what I set out to do. Although I feel kinda robbed because Eileen Ryan ended up getting obits from major newspapers. Both of my replacements are still alive...

Pelé: "Doctor, I saw the footage of my cells and I have to say that it is the most awful thing I have ever seen in my life. Things are looking grimmer than I thought." Doctor: "What footage? What are you talking about?" Pelé: "I mean this video right here." Doctor: Umm...Mister Pelé, that's your Atari football game from 1981..." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSEASVJIEx4

Imagine this sentence outside the context of the forum.

Wow, I can't believe it. Not a bad way to retire from deathpooling after 10 years of awfulness. Don't think I will win, unless my joker dies before the end of the year.

Dude, these two posts wouldn't even make the top 500 of my greatest posts, so why am I getting likes 8 years later? Maybe you just really disliked Bergerac and whoever Shirley is? @diego

I'm probably more devastated about it than Britney and Sam.
