Nelson - LDS Leader Shannen Doherty Sonny Rollins Toby Keith Tomiichi Murayama Vanessa Redgrave Violeta Chamorro Willie Mays Substitutes James Baker (Ex US Secretary of State) Yoko Ono Jean Chrétien Ralph Nader Dolores Huerta Thanks for the entry. Joseph DeAngelo is disallowed under the "Famous for being a criminal" rule. I am sure he is quite a high profile killer in the US, having no less than 3 nicknames. However my wife is the barometer when it comes to criminal fame, and she has never heard of him, so he is out. James Baker moves up to the main team. A note to all players. My wife hates all True Crime programmes and books, so the chances of her having heard of a criminal are pretty slim. There is a very high bar to clear for a criminal to be allowed. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Always delighted to have new players on board. I am going to assume that "Jim Carey" is supposed to be Jim Carrey the actor, rather than Jim Carey the second-hand car salesman from Tipperary. Nice man Jim, but not famous enough even for this pool. As you have joined the ranks of players who haven't bothered their arses to nominate a Joker, Al Pacino (no h) becomes your Joker by default.

Thanks for the entry LF, and thanks for submitting in an easy-to-use format. You even put the names in capital letters, which is more than the rest of the lazy bastards around here managed However, I would ask again that players not to put in explanations of their picks, when it is bleedingly obvious who you mean. They all have to be deleted out before I put them into the spreadsheet I use, so it just adds to the time taken to process the entries. You can assume that I am not going to mix up Dennis Skinner, Eve Marie Saint, or Johnnie Irwin with anyone else, so there is no need to tell me who they are. Even if they are obscure, you only need to clarify if it is a common name (e.g. DeathbyArsenic's pick of Luis Ayala above - a google search shows three possible candidates) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
