Looks like I’m hoping for the Hail Mary at this point.
Scoring clarification: soyleche should have 20 after the hit on James Earl Jones. It was initially recorded correctly, but got dropped shortly after and that’s been carried through since.
Thank you Ted! Fixing the standings going back to JEJ now.
Freakin interns!

This is why I never pay my interns more than $5.
Not per hour, flat. Which, that works out beautifully because that’s the wage they demand.
Only three days left to enter the 2025 pool!
I forgot until frummie dm’d me that my tragedy alternate pick died. Messed up my rankings this year!
As far as I can tell, your entire enterprise is no more than a solitary man with a messy apartment which may or may not contain a chicken

I did some research today, and will submit tomorrow. Making the final cuts will be difficult this year.
Entered!

If you picked someone that doesn’t have his/her own wikipedia page but is mentioned on a page, please check if they passed so you can get credit. I am checking those but might not have found them on my searches.

Unless there’s a whole lot of dying in the last few days, seems like this is going to end up being a really slow year for death pools in general.
