The 2014 Game Is On!

I have posted everyone's 2014 picks and now the fun can begin!  It seems the 90+ crowd has been abandoned by most everyone and a lot of youngsters need to watch their backs.  Please let me know if I made any mistakes.  Enjoy!

Making a late game push

On the back of a 94 year old man lie the hopes of Cathy H. Mikhail Kalashnikov has died. Inventor of the AK-47, he's done his best to give her a shot at the points lead. Ok, not a real shot, but she's closer! Mikhail Timofeyevich Kalashnikov, dead at the age of 94. Read more HERE.

An early Christmas gift

Ronnie Biggs has died. Robbed a train, got caught, went to prison, escaped, lived on the lam for years bragging about his exploits, turned himself in, was released, died, all to wish a Merry Christmas to Cathy H! Ronald Arthur Biggs, dead at the age of 84. Read more HERE.

JANICE T. SCORES!!!!!

Do you believe in Miracles?!? Janice T. has scored, with a little help from a 5 point buck named Nelson Mandela. Unbelievably old, he defied incredible odds by dying while on her list. When reached for comment, Shaun H. made numerous other smartass remarks... but all in a congratulatory manner. Not to be forgotten, Jennifer T. with the eternal assist. Way to go, ladies! Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela, dead at the age of 95. Read more HERE.

Broken down Chopper

Chopper Read has died. Murderous Australian thug turned convict turned author turned cancer survivor turned points provider. Even on his deathbed, he admitted guilt in numerous murders. And I think he said something about not wanting to be on Mike's list as it meant a sure death sentence. Mark Brandon Read, dead at the age of 58. Read more HERE.

Lewis Allan "Lou" Reed (March 2, 1942 – October 27, 2013).

Bears make children happy…and adults too.

Whether they are a special treat, potty training bribery, a meeting snack or party sweet, the sight of a gold bag of Haribo Golden Bears brings good memories and cravings for many. There’s nothing like having a handful of your favorite color of gummi bears. Who brought these bears our way? Hans Reigel led Haribo to be a world famous brand. Unfortunately all the sweets in the world don’t save you from dying at the age of 90 on October 15, 2013. Surely he is having a sweet trip with a handful of his favorite Golden Bears.
