I also find him interesting since he’s one of the rare cases (as far as I’m concerned) of an Okie that’s says that oil wouldn’t be the best investment in the future, and was advocating for wind power instead...

He seems a very calculated man (I have him in my personal DP). I trust his actions to be proactive and sensible. He knows he's in his final 6 months.

Hey, with him and Tsvangirai seemingly fucked, maybe it'll turn out to be a good thing that Dudley and Willow didn't make the starting line, as if they had I would have probably only gained 10 points due to Willow not obiting, and now I'm likely to pick up 15 points.

Death Impends 8,069 Posted February 12, 2018 It is interesting the effects of Willow/Dudley. msc's main team got a net gain of 10 points since it only had Willow (his B-team saw a net loss of 3, but then, you don't want the B-team to do better!). If Sumner Redstone dies this year, gcreptile sees no net change, as two dead nonagenarians are equal in value to a fortysomething hit and a non-QO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The B-team went down 3 points as Masekela subbed on for Dudley - the big loser there was YW, losing a unique joker! My bad. Watching the BBC tribute to Hugh as we speak, actually.
