Sir Creep 7,011 Posted January 8, 2021 Updated for a number of hits. Two teams took some big leaps: Bibliogryphon came from zilch zero nada nothing to +12 points; besting that was Toast, who catapulted from a mere 8 points to 24, and in sole possession of 4th place, thanks to three hits, including a pair of solo hits!

Sir Creep 7,011 Posted January 20, 2021 Is it too much too soon or too little too late? Either way, a great SOLO hit worth 8 points for Wormfarmer for Sylvain Sylvain. Wormfarmer jumps 6 spots and increased his total 160%. (Corrected - looks like Joey also had the New York Doll. Well it's a 6 point hit now for the two lads, and Joey leaps into 4th place.)

Sir Creep 7,011 Posted February 2, 2021 The solo hits keep on coming. This time it's Yvonne gaining 5 points with her pick of actress Cicely Tyson.

Sir Creep 7,011 Posted February 3, 2021 Shoulda known..... post an update for one wee death, and the obsolescence starts rolling in. Captain Tom Moore scores a scant 2 points for all those who had him (all letter M). Hal Holbrook's passing scored 3 points total. Yvonne was the only player who scored hits on both names, and she has quietly (in the matter of 48 hours) climbed into 8th place.

Sir Creep 7,011 Posted February 12, 2021 Susan Bayh and Leon Spinks scored either 3 or 4 points for a fair number of teams, but only two -- The Old Lady and CaptainChorizo -- had them both. Bayh was a hit for Joe Moneypenny, the last team to get off the blocks. George Shultz was a solo hit for Yvonne, who is now in 6th place. Karen Lewis helped keep the top two teams at the top, with both Banana and HDS scoring points for the Chicagoan.
