MortalCaso 1,430 Posted February 8, 2022 @Salmon Mousse Quite a start here. All of my picks are very much flip of a coin. Old reliables mixed in with hospice patients. All my hospital picks were sent home. Alas, not looking good! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The way it seems to read is that her and God share the same mother and grandparents 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spade_Cooley 9,025 Posted February 10, 2022 First Bob Saget, now Filipaina: a terrible year for the Olsens. Olsen Filipaina was an eggchaser on the league side of things, and apparently a pretty influential character who helped break barriers for players of Samoan descent in New Zealand. However, what you care about is the points: four active teams went for the the uce stand-off. An Fear Beag recovers from that early knockback to go ahead in his tie, ThereWillBeDeaths7 likewise now leads in his encounter, Sir Cunto gets his first points on the board and Annami looks like he might be handing out the first squonking of the tournament to Hell.

Spade_Cooley 9,025 Posted February 11, 2022 And as El Mundo counts as a QO source for the cup, we don't need to wait for any English-language translations. Isabel Torres played legendary Spanish trans singer La Veneno ("The Poison") on TV, but there's no antidote to stage 4 lung cancer. Eight teams are celebrating Torres getting on the scoresheet like this was Anfield in 08 - however four of them (BabyBlue/An Fear Baeg and Salmon Mousse/MortalCaso) cancel each other out. TQR and Grim Up North increase their respective leads to six points, HDS cashes in their joker to overtake Pedro67, and Annami has moved into clear squonk territory against Hell. LizLemon 0 v.

Spade_Cooley 9,025 Posted February 12, 2022 Two El Mundo obits in a row, and it looks like An Fear Baeg won't be putting Baby in the corner this round. Antoni Vadell Ferrer was the auxiliary bishop of Barcelona, whatever that entails, and while his battle with pancreatic cancer wouldn't have meant much for pools with more stringent QO requirements, he was gravy for the DL Cup. BabyBlue cashes in their joker, hits 15 points and looks like causing the upset of the round. LizLemon 0 v. Masterffull 0 Sir Cunto 3 v. theoldlady 0 Salmon Mousse 9 v.

The unique Joker was my biggest fear, and so it comes to pass. I'm not completely out of the tie, although it is going to be difficult from here. A Jorge Spedaletti hit would draw me level on points but ahead on hits. Failing that I will need two (or more!) from Field, Phelan, Masood Akhtar and Jeff Burkett. A bit of a longshot, but by no means impossible. There could be some life in this match yet. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
