    I'll sort it out tomorrow morning. GoT awaits...


    Some people should really learn to sort out their priorities.
    If at first you don't succeed, take the bloody hint and give up.

      Eugene Polley died today - he invented the Flash-Matic in the 50s, the 1st TV wireless remote. Couch Potatoes would not exist without this man!

          Doc Watson, Folk Musician, Dies at 89
          By WILLIAM GRIMES
          Published: May 29, 2012

          Doc Watson, the guitarist and folk singer whose flat-picking style elevated the acoustic guitar to solo status in bluegrass and country music, and whose interpretations of traditional American music profoundly influenced generations of folk and rock guitarists, died on Tuesday in Winston-Salem, N.C. He was 89.

          Mr. Watson, who had been blind since he was a year old, died in a hospital after recently undergoing abdominal surgery

            The way this year is going, if I had just randomly picked a bunch of musicians, I might have scored my first "death" in years

              Question: How many points do you get if you die?

                Dying will earn you a 25 point penalty immediately +1 point penalty for every day you continue with the tactic.

                    It's not even June and I'm starting to worry about this year's outcome. Seems I picked all the wrong musicians.

                          We'd send you to the minors Ming but this is the minors.

                          Looks like we're stuck with you.

                                My memory has me winning last year. This year as well, until I look at the scores again.
