      Oh, I'm sure there will be a body, though it may not be the body.

          • So far all our chosen celebs have been respecting the official start time.

                At the stroke of midnight, the race is on. Jostling for position going on, even now. A geezer throws a wild elbow at the druggie.

                  • Come on, people! I know I'm a sick bastard, but I also know that there are several bastards on this forum that are considerably sicker than myself.

                    • Not one of us had Ike Turner on our list. Doh!

                      Surely someone out there is capable of selecting better choices than us...

                          • 4 verified teams.

                            At least 2 more teams that I am sure of still to come and a few that claimed they will be playing but no recent word from...

                            So in brief, we will have at least 6 teams, maybe more.

                            • Just sent my list.

                              Didn't have time to read through the 6 pages of rules again so I probably did it wrong.

                                Recieved and forwarded to Sloww and Ming. Your team is very similar to mine.

                                Didn't have time to read through the 6 pages of rules again so I probably did it wrong.
                                I have an issue with one of your picks (#6). It appears to violate rule 22 (l):

                                "A celebrity must be “famous” in his or her own right – family members of celebrities do not count unless they too have their own fame. Exception: All present and former “First Ladies” still alive are eligible to be chosen."

                                I'm open for persuasion on your part (via PM of course). or my fellow judges may yet okay it, but as of this moment I can't agree with that one (wiki it and see what you get).

                                Thanks for joining Ozzy.
