Salmon Mousse 473 Posted December 31, 2021 Going to guess Mary Fairhurst was a wasted pick on my part. Not seeing any New York Times recognition. Oh well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcreptile 10,978 Posted January 8, 2022 And that's that. Mary Fairhurst and Betty White were our last hits. And there was also the very late QO for LG Petrov in the Metro's year-end obituary list, leading to this final score: Rank Team Score 1 Cpt.

Chorizo has won a fairly clear and never really threatened start-to-finish victory, congratulations! I kind of called it from the start for his very solid, somewhat defensive team, that hit most of the right notes and showed no clear weakness. The late obits closed the gap somewhat, and Joey got back the second place from Salmon Mousse because LG Petrov was just a little younger than Mary Fairhurst. We've had 8 players with more than 1000 points, also a nice benchmark. We've had lots of unique hits, many from Gooseberry Crumble, but I'd also like to give a shout-out to @GuyFromFuture and his unique hit with Norm MacDonald. We had surprisingly few joker scorers, thanks to two Toms, a Tim (Bilton) and Ady Barkan surviving. Rush Limbaugh scored, Jake The Snake Roberts didn't. Nobody jokered David Gulpilil, who in the DDP was the most valuable canon joker (with Greg Gilbert being sort of semi-canon). Now, that's already been different in the new year where Gary Burgess has scored for more than half the players... Let's see how that goes, thanks for playing in 2021! 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Death Impends 7,979 Posted January 8, 2022 Pleased I placed 4th on little research! Being a bad year to be a "back in our minds" type pick helped, ie Bayh, Zoll, Gilbert... Congrats to the Captain! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
