[msc 18,479]

Substituting in John Bain for Jenny Diski.

[YoungWillz 21,060]

I'd better think about getting a team in. Not that I'll trouble a leaderboard mind.

[YoungWillz 21,060]

Before the forum goes down again (it won't, I'm sure), here is my team. It's late in the day near the start date, maybe the people on the list will be late too. I dunno. I've decided that my work for Christmas shouldn't go to waste. So here is my team of Gotcha/Possible Gotcha recipients in:

AND DONE!

 

I won't be making a list of the top picks, or a list of all the picks in general, cause I am lazy.

 

Asterisk (*) indicates I have no idea who the f**k that person is, and you should tell me soon.

 

Since 14 teams have signed up, the competition is considered a success and will run until from May 1, 2016 to April 30, 2017. Hopefully for years.

 

I will update the scoreboard every 3 hits, every 2 if there is a huge one.

 

GOOD LUCK!

[Death Impends 7,979]

Paul Cox is an Aussie filmmaker.

[RadGuy 1,614]

Paul Cox is an Aussie filmmaker.

Thanks, now it's just CaptainChorizo left to tell me who the heck Vicky Askew and "Sunny" are.

[Death Impends 7,979]

Vicky Askew looks to be Vince McMahon's mother, while I'm assuming Sunny is wrestler Tammy Lynn Sytch who used that as a ring name. Will leave it to CC himself to fully confirm though.

[CaptainChorizo 1,983]

Yeah

 

Sunny /Tammy Lynn Sytch and Vince McMahon's Mum are the people I was referring

[msc 18,479]

Yeah

 

Sunny /Tammy Lynn Sytch and Vince McMahon's Mum are the people I was referring

 

 

Vince's mum

 

 

 

They have an interesting relationship, to say the least.

[Wormfarmer 427]

Where will updates be posted? To the lists you posted on this forum, or will there be an official site for this contest? I figure there have been at least 3 hits, and Ali was a huge one, although surprisingly only for me. Just wondering where to look.

 

[RadGuy 1,614]

Ooh. I kind of forgot about this. But to be fair, so did everybody. Yours was the first post since the start date.

 

I'll try to make an update within a few days.

[RadGuy 1,614]

I had finals this week.

 

But I'm finally on summer vacation.

 

So here's the scoreboard:

 

Death Impends 560

Rad 150

Wormfamer 100

Shaun 55

DJL 45

Jiroemon 35

msc 35

 

Points for Bennett, Hanocker, Jones, Fekete, Ali.

No-obit for Libous means No-points is a No-shit.

[Death Impends 7,979]

Bob Bennett (for myself) and Margot Honecker (for DJL) were also hits.

 

Thomas Libous is dead too but I can't find any qualifying obits for him.

[Book 3,557]

As mentioned in some other places, Bernie Worrell is dead.

[Death Impends 7,979]

Having a good run in this pool, it seems. Aherne is my fifth hit in a little over two months.

[RadGuy 1,614]

Updated for Aherne, Cox, and Worrell (those were the only hits in the past 4 weeks, right?)
