@Captain Hemlock, This is my fourth year.  My list is also very US/European-centric.  I have no idea who half the people are most people post, but that's okay.  I agree with a lot of your folks.

Already 2 days in Alt Obits and one of my dropped picks (Michael McKevitt) have already died. This is going well...

And first 2 hits of the year are daily doubles

Dropping McKevitt definitely looks stupid in hindsight (already 2 days into the year), but at least I do get points for Paul Westphal. Already shaping up to be quite the contest...

Insane start to deadpools. I had Westphal and Little, but not McKevitt.  The AO Deadpool is up-to-date on the three hits.
