[halyshitzob]

I declare the 2010 game underway.

[ranndomderr]

Thanks -Jrabbit. It is more time consuming than people realise I think.

Once you have a final tally for 2009 (including end of year awards) I will add the All-Time Leader Board to the 1st post.

[ëàìèíàò]

Great job Wezil.

[amagmasia]

I had Obama in 2009 and figured that may have saved him. Not there this year.

[fount_pirat]

Check the Leader Board embalmer. You're in first place.

[embefuri]

Who is drunkasaskunk and why did he ruin my mortal lock #1 pick? :wiglaf:

I have no idea but drunkasaskunk compiled a very serious list. It may be a joke login ( ) but it's not a joke entry.


I can't believe only one of us picked The Hef.
GWB and Britney Spears drop off this year's list.

[ThomasMannfanny]

Team name (Deathtongue)

ACK!

[bebeacc]

Arrgh. Megrahi is someone I had written a note to myself to include, but forgot all about. Oh, well. Thanks for the effort, Wezil. Looking forward to a rousing game.

[Oxzzlvpg]

We need a death!

[9uWzBx4l]

It's got to ultimately be more than sickening. This isn't "The Sick Pool".

[bredkumanfirst]

I can't believe only one of us picked The Hef.

With a constant diet of young blondes, he'll outlive us all. Muhahahaha!

[DialOne]

How do you manage to constantly have 4 posts? Is it a skunk thing?


I'm an observant sonofa*****.

[Kk21pwa9]

I was right. You are a serious contender.

[Aaron757]

His past doesn't mean anything this year. Look at him. He's lucky he's not considered to be on a list.

"Crossin' the highway late last night
He shoulda looked left and he shoulda looked right
He didn't see the station wagon car
The skunk got squashed and there you are!

You got yer
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
You got yer dead skunk in the middle of the road
Stinkin' to high Heaven!

Take a whiff on me, that ain't no rose!
Roll up yer window and hold yer nose
You don't have to look and you don't have to see
'Cause you can feel it in your olfactory

You got yer
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
You got yer dead skunk in the middle of the road
Stinkin' to high Heaven!"

[weluvjessicaalba]

As it stands today, it already has that distinction.

All the others in OT are comprised mostly of the Chest Thumpers Boy's Club.
Sports is filled with sluts.

[mp3 free]

I doubt seriously that anyone here knows of him, much less picked him. This should have made the front page of every newspaper in America. The most decorated military member from the Vietnam war.

RIP

http://rlhtribute.com/

Briefly:
COL Robert L. Howard
1939 - 2009

This site is dedicated to Robert L. Howard, one of America's most decorated soldiers. He served five tours in Vietnam and is the only soldier in our nation's history to be nominated for the Congressional Medal of Honor three times for three separate actions within a thirteen month period. Although it can only be awarded once to an individual, men who served with him said he deserved all three. He received a direct appointment from Master Sergeant to 1st Lieutenant in 1969, and was awarded the Medal of Honor by President Richard M. Nixon at the White House in 1971. His other awards for valor include the Distinguished Service Cross - our nation's second highest award, the Silver Star - the third highest award, and numerous lesser decorations including eight Purple Hearts. He received his decorations for valor for actions while serving as an NCO (Sergeant First Class).

[GWRIeEQp]

An everyday hero. RIP.

http://www.comcast.net/articles/news...D=Net_Newsmain

Oh, and... first blood.

[HowardtheDuck]

I doubt seriously that anyone here knows of him, much less picked him.

How about this guy?

The only person officially recognised as having survived both atomic bombings in Japan at the end of World War II has died from stomach cancer, aged 93.

Tsutomu Yamaguchi was in Hiroshima on a business trip on 6 August 1945 when a US plane dropped the first atomic bomb.

He suffered serious burns and spent a night there before returning to his home city of Nagasaki just before it was bombed on 9 August.

He said he hoped his experience held a lesson of peace for future generations.

It was already recorded that Mr Yamaguchi had survived the Nagasaki bomb, but in March last year officials recognised he had been in Hiroshima as well.

A handful or Japanese people are known to have lived through both attacks, but Mr Yamaguchi is the only one formally recognised by the Japanese government to have done so.


Certification as a hibakusha or radiation survivor qualifies Japanese citizens for government compensation, including medical check-ups, and funeral costs.

On learning of his official recognition last year, Mr Yamaguchi said: "My double radiation exposure is now an official government record.

"It can tell the younger generation the horrifying history of the atomic bombings even after I die."

In his later years, Mr Yamaguchi gave talks about his experiences as an atomic bomb survivor and emphasised his hope nuclear weapons would be abolished.

About 140,000 people were killed in Hiroshima and 70,000 in Nagasaki.

Survivors fell sick with radiation-related illnesses, including cancers, for years after the bombings.

The Mainichi newspaper reported that last month Mr Yamaguchi was visited in hospital by James Cameron, the director of Titanic and Avatar, who is apparently considering making a film about the bombings.

Commenting on Mr Yamaguchi's death, the mayor of Nagasaki said on the city's website that "a precious storyteller has been lost".

He was either very lucky or very unlucky.
