Boudicca 702 Posted February 28, 2020 I might change my mind again now that Sir C is out. I have a good feeling about his "I knew exactly how she fell, but I was not there" coma victim. A tragic air bubble to the heart accident is just waiting to happen. Anyway, all eyes on TQR vs Deathray... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also Sir Creep isn’t necessarily out yet, there’s a name or two that seems to gone MIA, and he’s first up to return... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,032 Posted February 28, 2020 GUN - the rules are explicit, I lose the tie break. That's the way it goes sometimes. So hoping to prevail on merits with a last second death. Peter Tobin...where are you? lol. SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is you can still win on merit with another death. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

According to Joey's post above, you are the Best Loser right now if teams fail to get sent in, so you might yet get to Round 2 by Default. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

According to a stupid ass rule that says quantity trumps quality, I am the 'Best Loser'. Funny, I didn't win alt obits despite having 17 hits last year.

Joey Russ 7,132 Posted February 28, 2020 So, as I said before, the top two for best loser has been set out. As for the third person, I did have to do a randomized draw since five people had Daniel Arap Moi, who was the youngest hit of the three pointers. So as such, here are the first 3 names up to return if people don’t send in a team. 1. Sir Creep 2. Djemba Djemba 3. Old Crem So anyways, here’s the first three up to return. If more is needed, I do also have placements for the next 4 who picked Arap Moi but hopefully we don’t have to go that far... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nope. Most meaningless joker is probably DJ Nelstar. Because he ended up dying before the starting, and had he lived to June, he didn’t receive a single QO...

Anyway, all eyes on TQR vs Deathray... Aye, Nicole Hart looks like another Sandy Danny event, except she done woked up! She is gonna start remembering things soon when husband (who wasn’t home at the time) shoved her down the stairs. He won’t be home when she suffocates herself w her pillow. ‘Nicole always rolled around in bed like that. Always picking up her pillow and chewing on it. Just my guess, as I was away at the time.’ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,032 Posted February 29, 2020 Some dumb asses be posting teams. BTW was this mentioned? Have we ever had a Cup entrant who didn't die, but their spouse did during the month? John Manners (grobler's team) wife.... on 1 Feb no less.
