drol 12,202 Posted August 3, 2017 I have Halliday, Downie, Bracknell, Gilbert, Meads, Loughlin, Cryne, Rae, Campbell, Dean Francis, Nevin, King Michael, Rayya Elias and Violet Brown still alive. I think only three-four will survive. Everyone here is pretty fucked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you ask me, that Telegraph annoucements obit for Singh is pathetic, but it qualifies under the DDP, so it qualifies here. In other news, I'm going back to the US next week. Details to follow in the Holiday thread... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,565 Posted August 5, 2017 Although I wouldn't call it a massive lead with the quality of teams directly below me, right now. Long way to go, yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RadGuy 1,619 Posted August 10, 2017 Just now, Toast said: I get you confused with Phantom now. Ha, I figured that would be a problem. But similar words like Spectre, Ghost, etc. just didn't seem right. I guess people ought to call me PotM for short, rather than Phantom. 2 minutes ago, Toast said: Does "Phantom of the Midway" mean something? What is the Midway? Well, it's sort of a geographical reference to my hometown, Chicago. The Chicago Bears, my favorite American football team, are called "the Monsters of the Midway". The second largest airport in the city is called Midway. And I guess it could also be interpreted as a synonym for the Midwest. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Takes the sting out of the fact that I had Glen Campbell as my second alternate, and I can really use the 120 pts after an endless drought of death. Moves me up in the standings a little . . . for now. I'll take what I can get. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
