OK A-holes.  It's fixed.  Enjoy the orange links, because I have no fucking idea how to change them.  I basically learned scripting in four days to fix this damned thing. - Andy

In, but -5 points for lateness

Seconded.

-5 for lateness for Chuck, -10 for the second person to submit late picks (be it TDubbs or anyone else), -15 for the third, and so on?

I like it.

Fuck.  I forgot to send my Dead Pool picks to Thrill.

Also, why doesn't Grand Poobah Andy play?  Too good for his own messageboard's dead pool?
I think he's more of the appendix of Desipio.  Yeah, it's here and you're vaguely aware of it, but only if reminded.  The only time anyone notices it is when it ruptures (on Weebs in the video game thread).  Beyond that, though, it's basically useless and offers no redeeming value.

I don't think he reads the message board.

In, but pays for even more drinks than he did last year at Shitty's.

Is that possible?
Yeah, if I don't show up.

I just assume it's too late.

But damn, I do love Ford trucks and Tostitos.

I like it.

Got some pushback in the shoutbox against this scheme.

How does a simple flat penalty of -5 for anyone with late picks sound? Final deadline the end of the day tomorrow?

(I already have late picks from Chuck and TDubbs via PM.)

Does this mean I don't have to buy drinks?

Everyone must have thought that everyone else was going to pick him.

Also, Torey Malatia appears to be about 52, judging by his WBEZ bio. I suppose we could email him to confirm.

According to the January 31, 2005, Crain's, Malatia was 53. He is thus now likely either 57 or 58, perhaps 59 if the reporting failed to account for publication lead time.

And, from the jacket copy of The Life Etheric, "born in Kansas City, Missouri, in 1949, Croft derived a lot of pleasure and education from foreign travel in his teens and in his later years." So, he's either 60 or 61.

Impressive work.

I think that leaves only Peggy O'Mara unaccounted for.

Yah, she's a tough nut to crack. I don't suppose anyone has ready access to New Mexico state court records.
