maryportfuncity 10,658 Posted June 2, 2020 Second day dawns and we're still in business as far as I can tell. So, we've been chasing the wrong ambulances this year, then. Might be out of here for several hours later on. So should we get white smoke today I'd appreciated someone posting the news including the q/o from Pig Breeders Weekly, or summat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,658 Posted June 3, 2020 FFS Day Three Granted, there are more ambulances in general to chase during the C-19 frolics, but...seriously. Anyone got some inside track on the closest to a winning candidate we have on that list of 21 of the most "talented" low hangers? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 10,979 Posted June 3, 2020 Well, my pick Rebecca Shadowen sort of has daily updates "still in critical condition", but I guess with every further day victory moves away from me. Killer Tim Brooks can't have much time left. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Killer Tim Brooks can't have much time left. Aye, but this pool rumbles on. The - kind of - implicit aim is to line up 21 of the most talented picks and get a result my the 21st, midsummer. Doubtless we're on for that but if this pool were a pop video I like the idea it would be the one below https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Z1IGjr2cT0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Russ 7,229 Posted June 4, 2020 I’m still keeping an eye on Tommy Palmer, who went into hospice care for lung cancer. But it’s probably going to be someone we don’t suspect at this point tbh... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aye, mind, there is talent on that list. I think this pool will see a sixth page, but not a seventh (MMMDP is only five pages) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drol 11,987 Posted June 6, 2020 No, actually this year picks are well below the MMMDP average. Who has the best odds? 1)Tommy Palmer: cancer hospice care means his time is limited. Likely the winner. 2)Killer Tim Brooks: really on borrowed time. He's the pick everyone need to beat. 3)Derek Draper: it does not seem imminent, but still good chance 4)Tom Smith: long time terminally ill, could go at any moment 5)Bhanwarlal Meghwal: still in a coma apparently, but stable enough to make me presume nothing is imminent The rest of the picks should need a lucky strike to score. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Russ 7,229 Posted June 10, 2020 Tomorrow is the 11th. Three years ago tomorrow, Errol Christie won it for Chorizo. If no one dies today or tomorrow, then it’ll be officially the longest wait for a winner in either MMMDP or Advent Avalanche. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
