Magazine whose Official Facebook page followed by 5 million people? Survey says yes. So here's to you Mr Robinson, points galore are coming out for some, hey hey hey, hey hey. Clorox and Banana take control of their respective ties. Jokers cashed in for Alt Obits Guy, Mad Hatter and Spade. Emily Levine made people laugh about death, apparently, but I know someone not laughing about her actual death, as time doesn't wait for Alt Obits... man. Four months of these puns to go, folks. What with Robinson in this same update, time might want to look away from the current scores. 1. JoeMoneyPenny Vs. Pedro 3-3 2. Nantonian 2013 Vs. Maryportfuncity 0-3 3. Gooseberry Crumble Vs.

msc 18,490 Posted February 10, 2019 Do you remember Walter playing cricket in the thunder and the rain?Do you remember Walter smoking cigarettes behind your garden gate?Yes, Walter was my mate.But Walter, my old friend, where are you now? The answer, Ray, is dead. And on his birthday too. Walter Jones, that is. So Banana and Clorox get their Jokers in, and now have command of their ties. Skinny Kiltrunner's Joker too - unfortunately for him, it's also the Bankers! Will anything separate those two? Spade also scores on the US politician, and at this point I think poor old Squonk might be suffering for the sins of Rover... Two other teams got points. Wormfarmer increases his lead over The Old Lady, and forum mainstay Boudicca scores her first deadpool points after a deadpooling hiatus of over a decade. She has the lead against The Unknown Man. This leaves Biblio/Tech as the only goalless draw so far. 1. JoeMoneyPenny Vs. Pedro 3-3 2. Nantonian 2013 Vs. Maryportfuncity 0-3 3. Gooseberry Crumble Vs. John Key 0-3 4. Spade Cooley Vs.
