Eric Wins(!)(?)
While I can’t offically call this until Friday (in case news of a death from the night before comes out), I think it’s safe to say that Eric will be taking home $77 thanks to the events of June 25. Lindsay will get $22, and Rob ends up with $11.
Thanks for playing and I’ll see just about all of you at deathpool2010.tumblr.com
There's still 2 more days in the year...
But things are looking pretty good for Eric. Lindsay is in second and then Rob is in third, ahead of Shannon by ONE point. Better luck next year?

Evangelist Oral Roberts dead at 91 →
Evangelist Oral Roberts, founder of the Oral Roberts Evangelistic Association and Oral Roberts University, died Tuesday from complications of pneumonia in Newport Beach, California, his spokeswoman said. He was 91.
Only Hags had chosen him, bumping his score up to 66, tied with me in 9th place. Could this be a last minute surge to knock Eric out of first place?

48 days left...
It is still anyone’s game, though it will probably be Erics. It’s time to start thinking about Death Pool 2010 (I’ll let you all figure out the url for that one, if you’re on Tumblr go ahead and start following it).
I sent out Facebook invites to everyone, if you want in just make it known there. 25 names and $10 are due by 12/30.

RIP Mary,
I kind of knew Mary Travers, she lived 2 houses down from one of my best friends in high school in the wonderful town of Redding, CT. She was a regular at the bookstore in my town and I would see her here and there. She always looked exactly the same.

He’s the second one to go this week, so who will complete the trifecta? I kinda hope Steve-O.

Crystal, Josh, Lindsay, Monika, Rob, and Sarah all have him on their lists. If he passes it would put Lindsay in the lead.
