Nobody had Bea?

What's wrong with us?

Just when you thought it was safe to be on our lists...

Bob scores with Wendy Richard!

I suppose I could've phrased that more gracefully, but in any case, congratulations, Bob. And thank you for restoring my confidence in our dark, dark prescience.

Our causal score, by the way, sits at:
1 - Age-related bronchial stuff
1 - Cancer (bone, in this case)

Farmer Heads to Riverworld

Philip Jose Farmer died in his sleep.

Ed McMahon is in the hospital.

Neither is on our lists this year. I feel like we're death angel pariahs.

I scored. Nobody noticed.

RIP Tapan Sinha, unnoticed by us on January 15. The BBC noticed, but we did not. That's twelve points in the name of Indian cinema.

John Updead

My friend Laura's birthday killed John Updike. Yet another pointless death.

Late Entry; Pay up!

Item: A straggler has approached, wanting to play. Objections? (She says she has not looked at the blog, so hasn't seen any of our lists.)

Item: I have not received payments from about half of you. In your defense, I haven't hassled reminded you until now. Just get it to me ASAP please. If you need my address to mail a check or the right email for PayPal, let me know.

Kirk Outlives Khan

Mr. Ricardo Montalban departed the island today at the age of 88. Another pointless death, alas, but certainly a memorable one.
