Thank You for Being a Corpse

The Golden Girl Curse claimed another victim last week as actress Rue McClanahan died at the age of 76. McClanahan, who played Blanche, the "slutty senior citizen"--*shudder*--died under mysterious circumstances, leading many to believe that she may have been the victim of a maniacal Betty White. White, it's been said, is crazy, strong and has a hard-on for offing former castmates. "I will be the last Golden Girl," White is quoted as saying, "and all of their life energy will keep me young eternally! [Maniacal laughter]"

Whatever the actual cause of McClanahan's death, Irish Car Bomb, Talking Deads and The Grim Reaper all collect the 24 points from her passing.

Reeves and Bullock Vow to Keep Hopper's Hearse Above 50 MPH

OK, so this isn't really a post about Dennis Hopper being dead (though he still is), just a cool headline without a supporting story.  

This post is really a note to say that the scores have finally been updated, and there have been a lot of changes to the leaderboard! 

Notes:  

*Newcomer Irish Car Bomb leads Wednesday by just a senior citizen.  It's still anyone's game, with the always-dangerous CRIPPLER lurking just behind!    ICB and Wed. were both propelled to the top by weekend scores of BOTH Coleman AND Hopper!

*A shout-out to the Serpent at the Gates of Wisdom, who has finally scored for the first time ever in competition (four years?)!  

*The Shadow and Kerberos are the only two players to not have any correct predictions at the 1/3 mark of the competition.   

*Mr. Black was the only person to correctly predict the May demise of Ronnie James "Holy Die-r" Dio.  

*The Return of Roger Mortis slapped a seeing-eye single for 8 points with Ernie Harwell last month.

Check your lists and scores.  If you notice any mistakes, please contact me.  At the time of this writing, I consider all lists and scores to be current and up-to-date.

Big thanks to the Shadow for picking up the writing while I was out of town stifling souls in Charlotte for Grimmorial Day Weekend!
