The Generation Game

Yeah, I think I was the first to wonder out loud whatever happened to Peter Skellern on this forum.

 

Then gcreptile pointed out the cancer, and everyone was all over him like a rash...

Yeah, I also forgot names such as Skellern and Hewlett, which would've made my score higher had I remembered them, so, it's all fun and games in the end. :lol:

I'd thank you, only I dropped him at the very last minute for Alan Aspin, so feck.

 

Hewlett/Skellern/Snuka/Wetton out, Holmlund/Baghdadi/Suisala/Aspin in... wont go down in history as one of the smartest moves in DDP history, really.

I shouldn't have revealed Peter Skellern, but replying to Willz' "Whatever happened to" was irresistible. Then again, most of us would still have known about him, but maybe just a few wouldn't have, so he wouldn't have made the Drop 40.

 

Edit: How is Sacheen Littlefeather doing now?

I doubt I would've revealed Peter Lorimer's cancer on here were it not for there already being some "Peter Lorimer looked awful at the game today, didn't even realize it was him" convo earlier in the year.

Then again, some obscurer picks  (not unfamous ones) seem to get Daily Mail coverage only after mentioned on here.

Bobby Heenan was hit nr 31/60.

 

I marvel at every single survivor from my G.I. generation bracket.

I'm personally amazed that I got three more hits in the silent generation than the GI Generation. I think they (silent generation) could legitimately be all dead before the last of my GI Generation...

me too, I have 4 hits in silent and 1 in GI, either we have really good picks in silent, bad picks in GI, or the Grim Reaper is taking his sweet damned time with the old folks!

You still need to replace Jacques Fresco with two new people since he didn't obit...

Is anyone actually keeping a proper scoreboard for this?

 

And are we still allowed to add extra and required to remove non-obiters?
