Torva Messor 279 Posted March 24, 2020 3 hours ago, YoungWillz said: I cannot be alone in having Albert Uderzo here You aren't. My cancer-suffering husband aroused himself from his sickbed to enter my bedroom to ask me if I had Albert Uderzo, which according to my ABC Deadpool list I do. On the ABC Deadpool III list I also have KENNY Rogers, whose death was a sensation over in the New World, and Genesis P-ORRIDGE. Since Jeffrey Epstein, he takes pleasure in my 'wake up' reaction learning I have a 'hit.' ETA: Albert Uderzo - 3 points; Kenny Rogers - (1 + 3 solo!), Genesis P-Orridge (2 bonus + 2) = 11 new 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Creep 7,070 Posted March 29, 2020 Updates updates updates. We're so sorry....Uderzo, Albert. Albert Uderzo was a popular letter U surname hit, good for 3 points each for Book, Torva Messor, YoungWillz and DeathByArsenic. Torva Messor also is an island in the stream, scoring a solo hit for Kenny Rogers! Well done. 4 more points. I'll make a separate scoreboard for Genesis P-O seeing as half the teams are involved. Scoreboard - 29 March 2020 JiroemonKimura - 43 Sir Creep - 39 RadGuy - 36 Joey Russ - 35 CaptainChorizo - 35 Banana - 33 Book - 33 Death Impends - 32 Clorox Bleachman - 31 Torva Messor - 31 msc - 28 theoldlady - 27 gcreptile - 25 Toast - 24 Sean - 23 Skinny kiltrunner - 19 YorkshireBanker - 18 Philip - 14 Etushispushingupdasies - 14 Wormfarmer - 13 Great Uncle Bulgaria - 13 The Old Crem - 12 YoungWillz - 10 Bibliogryphon - 8 Yvonne - 7 DeathByArsenic - 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Creep 7,070 Posted March 29, 2020 Genesis P-Orridge was chosen by many teams as indicated on the scoreboard below. That means points were limited to a single point for the first name (only last year's Champ RadGuy went this route), or 2 points for the surname. Looks like Sir Creep was the only team in the top 13 teams to miss out completely. JiroemonKimura lead is now 6 clear of the field. 2nd Scoreboard - 29 March 2020 JiroemonKimura - 47 Sir Creep - 39 RadGuy - 39 Joey Russ - 39 CaptainChorizo - 39 Banana - 38 Book - 37 Death Impends - 36 Torva Messor - 35 Clorox Bleachman - 33 msc - 32 theoldlady - 31 gcreptile - 29 Toast - 24 Sean - 23 Skinny kiltrunner - 19 YorkshireBanker - 18 Philip - 14 Etushispushingupdasies - 14 Wormfarmer - 13 Great Uncle Bulgaria - 13 The Old Crem - 12 YoungWillz - 10 Bibliogryphon - 8 Yvonne - 7 DeathByArsenic - 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bibliogryphon 9,577 Posted April 2, 2020 William Frankland brings me urgently needed points here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theoldlady 2,300 Posted April 11, 2020 The passing of Japanese Film director Nobuhiko Obayashi will give at least three people here some points. Edit: Stirling Moss is a hit for at least three of us here. ..including me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Creep 7,070 Posted April 15, 2020 Bibliogryphon, Sean, and Wormfarmer all waited 105 years to get 2 points for William Frankland. Nobuhiko Obayashi was good for 3 points for the vowel surname. The three teams at the top of the leader board all scored. Finally, Stirling Moss was also worth a whopping 2 points for theoldlady, Clorox Bleachman, and TheOldCrem. That's 9 hits for 9 different teams - 3 hits per celeb. Scoreboard - 15 April 2020 JiroemonKimura - 50 Joey Russ - 42 CaptainChorizo - 42 Sir Creep - 39 RadGuy - 39 Banana - 38 Book - 37 Death Impends - 36 Torva Messor - 35 Clorox Bleachman - 35 theoldlady - 33 msc - 32 gcreptile - 29 Sean - 25 Toast - 24 Skinny kiltrunner - 19 YorkshireBanker - 18 Wormfarmer - 15 Philip - 14 Etushispushingupdasies - 14 The Old Crem - 14 Great Uncle Bulgaria - 13 YoungWillz - 10 Bibliogryphon - 10 Yvonne - 7 DeathByArsenic - 6 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That pool, in turn, uses the obit sources of the Derby Dead Pool, but adds The Independent; US sources New York Times, LA Times, CBS News, Fox News, TMZ, and MSN. Also acceptable are CNN, and the Associated Press as legit obit sources. ^^^^^^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Creep 7,070 Posted April 27, 2020 To date Genson has a ‘local’ Chicago CBS obit at best. I’m as shocked as anyone NYTimes didn’t roll with it. But to date no QO as I can see. Forbes, well, ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wormfarmer 427 Posted May 4, 2020 Tun Tin passes on, giving me 3 for the alliteration, and 3 for the solo. And Michael Medwin is also gone. He was also worth 3 for the alliteration, and 1 for a duo with Bibliogryphon. New total = 24. Ahhh, that's a little better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
