Joey Russ 7,229 Posted May 6, 2021 Well that does count as a QO.

Joey Russ 7,229 Posted May 8, 2021 However, El Pais is very much a reliable source which, as you can see on the front page, is an acceptable obit. Oh dear, this is turning into another round of a landslide victory in every match, isn’t it? maryportfuncity vs Spade_Cooley 0 - 12 Banana vs deadsox 16 - 0 CaptainChorizo vs Gcreptile 6 - 14 CalebH vs msc 0 - 6 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 10,979 Posted May 8, 2021 Well, I said this month is a lottery, with all the Covid people... only, every ticket wins. I guess it's because the health systems in Latin America and on the Indian subcontinent have collapsed. I see a slight decrease in hospitalizations in recent days. So maybe this wave has peaked. Some scientists though say that it's going to get worse in India. That would make the semi-finals a high-scoring but also pretty stale event.

Joey Russ 7,229 Posted May 23, 2021 Haven’t really updated the cup guys, and I’m sorry about that. Life has just gotten busier for me currently (not to mention this month has been really dull in terms of deaths, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing). So let’s have a quick update. I will count the Jerry Cain obit, although in hindsight I overestimated his fame a little bit. I don’t think that Gary Shiebler obit is sufficient enough I’m sorry to say. Not like it’s really much of a problem in the long run, as he has two other hits to back him up. Banana also scored with Gouri. Say, it’s really weird that only two ties scores points since the last update, unless I missed somebody. maryportfuncity vs Spade_Cooley 0 - 19 Banana vs deadsox 19 - 8 CaptainChorizo vs Gcreptile 6 - 14 CalebH vs msc 0 - 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I knew Jerry was a sketchy pick going into this but I needed somebody like him to have a chance. If he's disallowed I won't complain. That being said, I sent invitations to my four uniques (Jana Bennett, Lawrence Brooks, Tim Keller and Lucile Randon) to attend a party in Gaza. It's my only shot. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
