No, thanks for posting here, too. I wouldn't have seen it otherwise, and now Elvis Telecom has 11 points.

Raven Alexis didn't have cancer lol
I'd be impressed if Raven faked her illness and recovery for no other reason than to troll dead pool betters.

Added, thx.

No idea who Dokes or Dev are, but OK. You're now in the lead!

I went long, hoping for a massive year of young celebrity death, but unfortunately it's mostly been awesome old people this year.

Bump for my dang points.
― Three Word Username, Monday, 22 October 2012 16:32 (eleven years ago) link
Easy, easy. Got it. (David S. Ware, I assume? Weirdly both of the dudes you scored points on were 62 y/o.)
― Sandy Denny Real Estate (jaymc), Monday, 22 October 2012 17:33 (eleven years ago) link

Bumping for my Maurice Herzog points.
― Elvis Telecom, Saturday, 15 December 2012 21:41 (eleven years ago) link
Now updated for Herzog, Ravi Shankar, and Patrick Moore.
As the year draws to a close, I'll go through and see if there's anyone else I've missed. If you happen to know that I've missed one of your picks, feel free to mention it here.
― Sax Blatterday (jaymc), Wednesday, 19 December 2012 16:50 (eleven years ago) link
Elvis Telecom -- if we'd been scoring by the raw number of correct predix, you'd be tied for 3rd. With the age points factored in, you're 20th.
― Sax Blatterday (jaymc), Wednesday, 19 December 2012 16:53 (eleven years ago) link
So I won?
