Thanks for the entry Tracy, and thanks for the reminder that Don King is still alive. One of those names that I could have sworn died about 10 years ago.

A little over 12 hours to go for submissions, so this is your final reminder to submit a team.

 

A total of 57 teams in, with not much variety! I swear, if any one of Jimmy Carter, Jonnie Irwin, Roberta Flack, Rob Burrow Nigel Starmer-Smith or James Whale die in the next 12 hours, I am going to absolutely lose it. Think Michael Douglas in Falling Down, with possibly a little of Jack Nicholson in The Shining. It will not be pretty.

 

Still no sign of a team from

@BuffaloPhil

@chel

@chickencobra

@ImNotHades

@Joey Russ

@Pedro67

@Salmon Mousse

@Sean

@time

and possibly no team from WhenThe, or whatever they have changed their name to.

 

And of course any new players who want to try their hand at this, you are very welcome. Just chuck in 25 names and a few subs, and you are good to go,

My apologies. It's been a tough year. But the judge sided with me and my employer lost.

Thanks for the entry, and it would appear welcome back to the site after a 5 year absence.

 

You have not picked a Joker, so Alexander Mitta becomes the Joker by default.

Jim Waddell (Clallam Public Utility District Commissioner) - pancan

Sean Wallace (Southern University defensive coach) - stage 4 pancan

I see the rosters are all loaded. I was pleasantly surprised to see @An Fear Beag allowed my pick of Sammy Basso, as I was afraid he'd run into the FFBI category. Good luck to everyone!
