No QO for Remigino as yet as far as I can see.

Surely I'm not alone on Remigino.   
Just a head's up, Y-Dub.  Gracias as always.

Well...

Oh, and I would like to add my personal thanks to Lindy Remigino for surviving so far.

We’re all still waiting for a QO. Mind you, I doubt that it’ll be a long wait tbh...

[Sir Creep 7,070]

Oh I understand.  it was a heads up.  Zero percent (0%) chance he is a Barys Kit.
Or....IS he.......

Surprisingly Barys Kit didn’t even get a New York Times obituary. Remigino did get one very quickly. I think the worst case scenario for him is not getting one until one of the end of the year type things, in which he’ll probably get a mention there...

You are right about Kit + NYT.  Astonishing imho.  It will remain the low point for obituary writers in 2018.  Indefensible nonfeasance.

Bibliogryphon had Clive King and writes himself onto the leaderboard, which is updated.

[YoungWillz 21,044]

Gawd, this is slow!

 

Anyway, rejected pick for this pool Hilda Hanson has died aged 104: http://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/news/16377178.hilda-hanson-whose-family-had-six-generations-alive-at-the-same-time-has-died-aged-104/

 

So, no update, but the person who picked her might want to know.

6 teams have picked Chiyo Miyako and there's a high chance that she's just died, so there's that.

[Joey Russ 7,227]

If only Lindy Remigino got his QO by now...

5 hits with Miyako brings some playas onto the board. WoukThisWay drew J Hearts as he had her as a sub and gains 11 Points.

I thought I had Miyako....

 

I didn't but I can't remember which of my pools I played her in.

Being new, I'm not exactly sure what constitutes a QO,  but wouldn't this work for Remigino?

DDP equivalent QOs for this one.

It's actually shocking someone(Remingo) who got Gold in  100M at the Olympics didn't pick up an obit from one of the more sportscentric papers.And since he is American in most cases DailyMail would just do copy and paste his obit from AP. So far Remingo might go down with Barrys Kit as the most shocking non DDP qualifying obit of the year.

[Joey Russ 7,227]

I still think Remigino will receive a QO still even if it’s only by the BBC end of the year thing. With Barys Kit though, he didn’t receive any major obituaries though, which is probably more shocking than Remigino not getting a QO...

[YoungWillz 21,044]

msc is the only one to hit with Lietzke.

 

No bonuses, leaderboard updated.

[YoungWillz 21,044]

Perennial Bibliogryphon pick Bernard Hepton has exited the stage.

 

Leaderboard updated, no bonuses.

[YoungWillz 21,044]

Ok, several teams had Charlotte Rae as a main pick: msc, Death Impends; Captain Chorizo; FujimoriNoMorey; Clorox Bleachman, Torva Messor and yours truly Young Willz.

 

Death Impends gains an additional 10 Points for making a pair of 7s with his first two hits! Gah!

 

Now to those who had Rae as a sub:

 

Wouk This Way drew J Clubs = 11 Points

Joey Russ drew A Diamonds = 14 Points

The Old Lady drew 5 Diamonds = 5 Points

 

Leaderboard updated.

[Joey Russ 7,227]

I’m going to lose the most subs on my team again this year, aren’t I?

Rare game lead for me!
