ladyfiona 2,038 Posted April 30, 2023 Posted my list on page 1 where I originally put it but there was some discourse about posting too early so was removed. The original list has been changed/re-arranged as there's been some medical news with certain people and for the hell of it added two LGBT people for the extra points if they die. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Perhaps 1,365 Posted May 18, 2023 What a horribly cruel way to format a list to send to a runner of a Deadpool. My thoughts are with CaptainChorizo during these trying times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ladyfiona 2,038 Posted May 18, 2023 Well at least it helps me know I have 160 points, lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theoldlady 1,989 Posted May 19, 2023 Super Star Billy Graham is a hit for several of us here. Does anyone know if he was in the military? I am thinking about the bonus points here for veterans in May. Every nation has different days for their Memorial Day. May-Memorial Day(Any notables who served in any countries military at some point) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BuffaloPhil 594 Posted May 19, 2023 Guido Gorgatti is a hit for me, I'm not aware of any military background (except maybe in films.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CaptainChorizo 1,904 Posted June 20, 2023 Slept in an awkward position a few weeks ago, and ended up with a sore neck which has made me avoid sitting at my desk for anything more then 5-10 minutes.
