Updates:

10/11: It is with a heavy heart that I update the list with Christopher Reeve's passing... 52 years old. This launches Nessman into a likely inassailable lead.

10/6: Rodney Dangerfield died yesterday at the age of 82. Damn! One of my top picks for next year! Chris and Nessman pick up points.

8/13: Julia Child has cooked her last meal and is being sent to that big kitchen in the sky. That means Big J/Big S and Nessman each pick up 9 points. Unlucky Friday the 13th for her!
