Leon Redbone dead at the magical age of 69. I had him on my list once or at least was considering him so I'll claim those 31 points and donate them to choppa.

Hell, I thought he was in his 50's during the 70s. I saw that popup on my fucking Facebook yesterday and thought it was fakenews because I was sure Leon Redbone died in the 90's.

Roky Erickson dead at 71. 29 points for TxWriter.

Bushwick Bill, 48 points for stickinjuniorsbigbrain.

Dang, I didn't know that. Growing up, he scared me in the "my mind is playing tricks on me" video.

Sounds like you almost got 57 points for Big Papi.

I got his gall bladder so I still get the points.

Dark Vader jumps on the board with 25 points for Pat Bowlen.

dca gets 5 points for Gloria Vanderbilt.

The Chosen One jumps on the board with 62 points for Jared Lorenzen.

11 points to some random poster we haven't heard from in a while (or ever) for Ross Perot.

He was the first candidate I voted for in any election. I have no recollection of why 18-year-old me thought he was the best candidate.

I'm all ears.

because he was an independent and you were young and thought he would make a difference. until the vice presidential debate, he had a chance.

I'm just glad he siphoned enough votes away from Bush to give us 8 years of the great Bill Clinton.

Thanks for letting me know. You're probably thinking of '92. My first vote came in the Clinton/Dole election.

Our current president could learn a few things from Perot about actually being rich from your own hard work.

Rip Torn, 12 points for a posteur that doesn't exist.

It's been a while, but checking my my list, I've got 4 kills this year.

Gordon Banks - 19
Lee Iacocca - 6
Mel Stottlemeyer - 23
Pat Bowlen - 25

Looks like you get points for Gordon Banks and Lee Iacocca, but the other two were already claimed.

Combine the 25 points with the -2 you were awarded for IM Pei and you're at 23. Still very much in the game.

Umm...Look at my list from the first page of this thread, sir.

Jim Bouton, dead at 80. 20 points for me.

See, that's how it works!

They were alive then, silly.

I'm gonna go ahead and claim that 1.5 year old black kid they issues an amber alert for last night. 99 points for me.

Omg

This thread is dead

Former justice John Paul Stevens died today and willed us all one stinking point.

Rutger Hauer says "Time to die", dies at 75.

25 points for Matt the P1 Virgin

64 points for Mike Hunt for Cedric Benson.

Dayum.

Somewhere, Ms Kraus is fighting back tears and whimpering under her breath in a thick german accent: "I vish I could still hearrrrr youuuuu, my old friend."

Jack Whitaker died at 95. I kinda figured he died years ago.

Josh Hamilton's career is officially dead. Had he not run full throttle he might have been able to DH well into his 40's. 8 points for me!

He led the Rangers to two word series appearances. Leave him alone.

21 points for rowdy hat in Walt for David Koch.

20 points for logamus for Valerie Harper

oh hail nah, I've had her on my list since we started this thing. She is MINE!!!

I can't remember her name, but some Texas country singer got drunk and caused a 3-car accident that killed her and an innocent teenager. 70 pts for shake voice Jub.

That's Wylie's own Kylie Rae Harris. I never heard of her but I'll take the points for proximity.

I wonder if the Ticket guys will blame this on Chantix again.

Remember that old forum with overzealous mods? I recall after Danny's frynd got headshotted, if you mentioned Chantix in any post over there, it got deleted. Prolly about 2-3 dozen of mine got 86'd. Good times.

Another reason I didn't hang around on that one. I think I gave it a try for a month or two but the knob slobbing was too much. Does it still exist?

Also, rr was strong to quite strong at that time and consumed a lot of my interweb time allotment. Those were some good days. I wouldn't mind seeing the activity level ramp up around here, tbh. We're gonna have good football and basketball this year. It'd be nice to have some sports chatter.
