It's not like you're revealing anything if the person is dead. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grim Up North 3,726 Posted January 31, 2022 My team is in too. 5 fallers in the week before starting gates. For YW Gary Housteau (previously mentioned) Leonid Kuravlev Les Shapiro (TQR pick I suspect) Jeff Innis (shamelessly stolen when Les Shapiro died) Steve Sturgis - Mr Wellington photographer - even went to trouble of checking this one would be marginally an acceptable pick. Be happy with 3 in following month. Scrub that - be happy with one more point than Engineer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted January 31, 2022 Sir Cunto v. theoldlady Sir Creep's 'Month to Month Tenants' (Feb 2022) list is IN. Good luck to @theoldlady and everyone else. I honestly couldn't find a single guaranteed hit, so I will be sad when the list comes out and 15 teams have a name that was invisible to me. If I get 1 hit I'll be happy; hope it's my Joker.

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted January 31, 2022 I was going to suggest that if someone who gets knocked out in round 1 would be so kind as to volunteer to accept Spade Cooley's entry in their Inbox, so that he isn't totally handicapped - say 2 or 3 days before the month starts. He shouldn't have to turn in a list a week or so ahead of time. I did this for someone a couple years back when I got knocked out, seeing as I no longer had skin in the game. Just a thought. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Russ 7,228 Posted February 1, 2022 A bit annoying that I spent a few hours over the past weekend on a cup round that isn’t going to happen. Ah well, I guess I can compare my scores with other teams to see where I’m at… Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Hemlock 742 Posted February 1, 2022 We'll see if my gamble on a double Frank Field (from both sides of the pond) will pay off. Good luck to everyone.

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted February 1, 2022 Shouldn’t the names submitted by the three teams now on a bye be deleted as superfluous? This would have an effect on solo hits etc. Anyway, thanks for such quick updates, Spade. Sorry to see that the world’s first person receiving a genetically-modified pig heart didn’t clear the bar. It’s a fair cop. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungWillz 21,050 Posted February 1, 2022 I think having seen @Pop_Zeus team, their entrance music should be Justified And Ancient by The KLF. There shall be no shame in going out to a bunch of supercentenarians/centenarians. I'm already considering my exit music... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungWillz 21,050 Posted February 1, 2022 I think I should draw to the attention of @Spade_Cooley that Mollie Walker died on 22 January 2022 without much fanfare, apparently: https://peppardnews.co.uk/mrs-mollie-walker-mbe/ This affects the @grobler team only as far as I can see. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gooseberry Crumble (GOO) Iris Apfel, Frank Field, Phyliss Dalton, Queen Ratna Of Nepal, Vin Scully, Leonard Hayflick (c), Derek Martin, Teddie Chinery, Kenneth Anger, Anita Pointer, William Heseltine Very interesting. Only one pick in common (Frank Field) and I’ve jokered him and GOO hasn’t, so that sets us apart as well. Didn’t really want the extremely fascinating Mangeshkar in my team; she was an ill-considered sub after Les Shapiro died prematurely. Other than that, I think I’ve certainly had some weaker teams in the past. If I score less than 9 I’ll be miffed. As for my illustrious opponent…I didn’t know all that many of the names and was staggered upon Googling them to find they’re all about 93 and quiet. Derek Martin has been on my radar and could be a shout. I know Pointer off of Sisters isn’t doing too well. And Apple very nearly made it to my list. All very plausible. I predict a draw. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,477 Posted February 1, 2022 The problem is the host has to have their team in before anyone else sends their team in. I used to send mine to Cat but that is no longer possible, alas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I take it you mean Apfel not Apple! Thank you for describing me as illustrious! I must confess I don't know most of the names or much about them in your team so will have to indulge in some googling later! But at a quick glance I think we have both made a decent effort. You said in an earlier post about a gay fight or catfish with us competing against each other Do you anticipate that it might go something like this very bitchy catfight between Alexis and Krystal in Dynasty especially in the event of a draw?! I won't speculate too much on which one of us is Joan Collins (Alexis) or Linda Evans (Krystal)!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's totally possible, but I decided to take a risk and hope they won't. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
