Windy City Deadpool 2023-2024

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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)

Guido Gorgatti is a hit for me, I'm not aware of any military background (except maybe in films.)

 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.  All clear now so will for sure update this Wed or Thursday.

*50 point bonus via Teresa Taylor

 

Lot's of high scoring early and  several teams with 5-6 hits on the board in less then 2 months. Definitely think it will take a record tally to win the game this year.

My hits:

 

5) Denny Crum (300 points)

13) Daniel Ellsberg (120 points)

17) "Superstar" Billy Graham (55 points)

 

300 + 120 + 55 = 475, if I'm not mistaken.
