  • I'm surprised there isn't a 27 club bonus (+27 points, obviously). Maybe next year.
    You just wasted six ... no, seven ... seconds of your life reading this sentence.

      • Did anyone have Bubba?
        It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

        • Bubba who?

          Multiple false death reports on the interwebs of late. This morning, it was singer Etta James -- who is, in fact, perfectly alive and well.

                • The 27 Club rule is a great idea IMO.

                  I actually did a search on "Bubba" and "death" before I posted that, and came up empty. I guess it wasn't considered "news" by google.

                    While it's not my decision to make I will point out that a 27 year old hit scores very large points. The age is already a factor in the points.

                    For whomever is interested - next year should be a leap year as well (you may want to blow the dust off that old award).

                    • "Cherry Pie" guy buys it... rocker Jani Lane dead at 47.



                      Met him several times. Nice guy, very friendly, totally into the hair-metal rock'n'roll lifestyle.

                              Reuters Aug 28, 2011 – 7:38 PM ET | Last Updated: Aug 28, 2011 7:42 PM ET

                              WASHINGTON — The Libyan convicted in the 1988 bombing of a U.S.-bound airliner over Lockerbie, Scotland, has been found in Tripoli and appears “at death’s door,” CNN reported Sunday.

                              CNN correspondent Nic Robertson said he found Abdel Baset al-Megrahi in what was described as a palatial house in an upmarket part of Tripoli, guarded by at least six security cameras and attended to by concerned relatives.

                              “He appears to be a shell of the man that he was, far sicker than he appeared before … at death’s door,” Robertson said of Megrahi, who returned to Libya two years ago after being released from a Scottish prison for health reasons.


                              Presuming CNN hasn't ****ed it up of course...
