And congrats to Bugs ****ing Bunny, our undisputed 2016 Dead Pool Champion!

[embalmer42]

I completely missed / forgot about George Gaynes. Thanks for catching that.

Thanks to Jrabbit for keeping the game on track this year and figuring everything out.

I assume that since no one else has stepped up to the plate to take charge, this won't be continuing next year? Ah well, all good things must come to an end sooner or later.

[-Jrabbit]

George Gaynes, Monte Irvin, and Cliff Michelmore all came to light during reconstruction. I also learned that Irvin's death predated Rene Angelil for the year's first blood, which I believe we had wrong last winter. (Embarrassing that I missed my own guy's death as well!)

I'm too busy to take this on right now; booked pretty solid through about 1/22. I've run this about 3 times and it's not that much trouble once it's set up. But I just don't have time for that initial organizing this year. Heck, I haven't even put a list together.

Anyone? Bueller??

[SlowwHand]

A new list. Yikes! I have to get to looking !

I would be happy to try and play another year but I am simply too disorganized to be responsible for anything. The old "lead, follow or get out of the way" speech is always shortened to "follow or get the f**k out of my way" when people are talking to me.

Maybe the lad from the great state of Texas can step up to the plate and run things?

[Ming]

Still looking for somebody to run the pool this year before we get too late in the New Year.
Any takers?

One pig less


Έχει αμάξι, έχει σπίτι,
όλα τα `χει κι όμως πλήττει
και ξαφνικά παθαίνει συγκοπή.

He has got a car a house
He has everything and yet he's bored
and all of a sudden, he has a stroke


Ξέρει κόλπα, έχει θέσεις,
μετοχές και καταθέσεις
και ξαφνικά παθαίνει συγκοπή.

He knows tricks, has positions
shares and deposits
and all of a sudden he has a stroke

Γι’ αυτό σου λέω μη μου λες εμένα
για όλα αυτά τα μεγαλεία, τα παλάτια, τα λεφτά.
Γι’ αυτό σου λέω εγώ είμαι μια χαρά
να κλαις τον άλλονε λοιπόν το φουκαρά.

That's why I'm telling you, don't tell me
about grandiosities, palaces and money
That's why I'm telling you I'm just fine
cry over that other poor fellow

Εγώ, κορίτσι μου γλυκό, έχω εσένα
αντί γι’ αυτά τα μεγαλεία, τα παλάτια, τα λεφτά.
Εγώ κορίτσι μου είμαι μια χαρά
να κλαις τον άλλονε λοιπόν, τον φουκαρά.

I my sweet girl have you
instead of these grandiosities, the palaces the money
I my sweet girl I'm just gine
cry over that other poor fellow

Κονομάει, τη βγάζει φίνα,
στη Μαγιόρκα, στα καζίνα
και ξαφνικά παθαίνει συγκοπή.

He makes good dough, cruises
in mayorka, at casinos
and all of a sudden, he has a stroke

Κάνει μια ζωή στρωμένη,
με γυναίκα κι ερωμένη
και ξαφνικά παθαίνει συγκοπή.

He has a life paved out
with a wife and a mistress
and all of a sudden he has a stroke

Γι’ αυτό σου λέω μη μου λες εμένα
για όλα αυτά τα μεγαλεία, τα παλάτια, τα λεφτά.
Γι’ αυτό σου λέω εγώ είμαι μια χαρά
να κλαις τον άλλονε λοιπόν το φουκαρά.

Εγώ, κορίτσι μου γλυκό, έχω εσένα
αντί γι’ αυτά τα μεγαλεία, τα παλάτια, τα λεφτά.

I my sweet girl have you

Little hero


Από τη μια οι Ιταλοί κι οι Γερμανοί
για να σε βρουν αναστατώνουν την Αθήνα
κι από την άλλη του πατέρα μου η φωνή
"Νομίζω πως τον κρύβεις στην κουζίνα".

From one side the italians and the germans
in order to find you they turn athens upside down
and from the other, my father's voice
"I think you're hiding him in the kitchen"

Εσύ να παίζεις με τον θάνατο κρυφτό
κι αυτοί να σκίζουνε τα τεύχη τα κρυμμένα,
μη σε τρομάζει το διπλό κυνηγητό,
εσύ τους Γερμανούς κι αυτοί εμένα.

You. playing hide and seek with death
and they, tearing up hidden issues
don't get scared by that double chase
you, the germans - and them, me

Που είσαι τώρα και σ’ έχω χάσει,
καλέ μου φίλε Γιώργο Θαλάσση.
Που είσαι τώρα και σ’ έχω χάσει,
μικρέ μου ήρωα Γιώργο Θαλάσση.

Where are you now, I've lost you
My good friend Yiorgo Thallassi
Where are you now, I've lost you
My little hero Yorgo Thallassi

"Εγώ δεν ξεκουράζομαι ποτέ
είμαι παντού όπου το χρέος με προστάζει
κι όσο θα υπάρχουνε στη γη κατακτητές,
θα τους συντρίβω και το αίμα τους θα στάζει".

"I never get rest
I am everywhere, where duty commands me
And as long as there are conquerors on this earth
I'll crush them and their blood will drip"

Πίσω απ’ τον τοίχο ο ασύρματος καλεί,
είναι απ’ τη Μέση Ανατολή, απ’ το αρχηγείο.
Θα σoυ αναθέσουν μια καινούργια αποστολή
μ’ ευχές για καλή τύχη απ’ το αρχηγείο.

Behind the wall, the wireless calls
From the middle east, from the command center
They are going to assign you a new mission
with wishes of good luck from the command center

Η Κατερίνα σ’ αγαπούσε σιωπηλά,
αλλά κι εσύ το ίδιο αγνά την αγαπούσες.
Χωρίς το Σπίθα ίσως να `ταν πιο καλά,
παρ’ όλ’ αυτά εσύ τον συγχωρούσες.

Cathrine loved you silently
But you also loved her purely
without Spithas, maybe it would be better
but you always forgave him

Όταν ακούω να μιλάνε γι’ Αφρική,
για Βερολίνο, Βενετία και Παρίσι,
σκέφτομαι, λέω, πού να ξέραν μερικοί
πως σε όλα αυτά τα μέρη εγώ έχω ζήσει.

When I listen to them talking about africa
about berlin, venice and paris
I'm thinking to myself
if only some people knew
that I have visited all these places

Πως όταν ήταν στην Ελλάδα κατοχή,
μέσα στις σφαίρες μες στο κρύο, μες την πείνα,
με τους Εγγλέζους να εξοπλίζουνε τη XI
μου έδειχνες μια ξένοιαστη Αθήνα.

When in Greece there was occupation
in between bullets, the cold and hunger
with the english suppying X ( a fascist organization)
you were showing to me a carefree athens

Που είσαι τώρα και σ’ έχω χάσει,
καλέ μου φίλε Γιώργο Θαλάσση.
Που είσαι τώρα και σ’ έχω χάσει
μικρέ μου ήρωα Γιώργο Θαλάσση.

Where are you now, I've lost you
My good friend Yiorgo Thallassi
Where are you now, I've lost you
My little hero Yorgo Thallassi


"Εγώ δεν ξεκουράζομαι ποτέ
είμαι παντού όπου το χρέος με προστάζει
κι όσο θα υπάρχουνε στη γη κατακτητές,
θα τους θερίζω και το αίμα τους θα στάζει".

"I never get rest
I am everywhere, where duty commands me
And as long as there are conquerors on this earth
I'll crush them and their blood will drip"

Εσύ μπορούσες να οδηγήσεις φορτηγό,
μοτοσικλέτα, οτομοτρίς κι αεροπλάνο
κι όπου κι αν ήσουν πάντα δίπλα ήμουν κι εγώ,
μαζί σου ή να ζήσω ή να πεθάνω.

You could drive a truck
a motorcycle, an automotrice and a plane
and wherever you were, I was besides you
with you, to live or to die

Ήσουνα πάντα εκδικητής και τιμωρός
γι αυτόν που γέμισε τον τόπο με στρατό του
και μ’ ένα χτύπημά σου έπεφτε ο φρουρός
με μια στροφή γύρω απ’ τον εαυτό του.

You were always the avenger and the punisher
to whom filled the land with his army
and with one of your strikes
the gaurd fell down
spinning around himself

Μπορούσες πάλι να ημερεύεις τα σκυλιά
με κάποιο σφύριγμα που σου `μαθε τσομπάνος
κι έτσι που πέταγες με κόλπο τη θηλιά
θα έπρεπε να είσαι Αμερικάνος.

You could pacify dogs too
with some whistle that a shephard taught you
and the way you threw the rope noose with this trick
you could have been american

Τι να σου πω, τι να σου πω, τι να σου πω
που να μην το `χει πει κανένας για κανέναν,
εγώ μονάχα ένα πράγμα θα σου πω.
Μου φτάνει πως μεγάλωσα με σένα.

What can I tell you what can I tell you what can I tell you
that noone would have ever said about anyone
I'll just tell you one thing
It's enough that I grew up alongside you

Που είσαι τώρα και σ’ έχω χάσει,
καλέ μου φίλε Γιώργο Θαλάσση.
Όπου κι αν είσαι, θα `χεις γεράσει
μικρέ μου ήρωα Γιώργο Θαλάσση.

Where are you now, I've lost you
My good friend Yiorgo Thallassi
Wherever you are, you must have gotten old
My little hero Yorgo Thallassi

Αν τέλειωσες γυμνάσιο και θες να μορφωθείς
πριν πάρεις μιαν απόφαση καλά να το σκεφτείς
κι αυτά που λένε γύρω σου να μην τ’ ακούς ποτέ
μονάχος σου να ψάξεις να δεις τι γίνεται

If you've finished highscool and want to get an education
before making a deicision, think it over well
and what they say, don't listen to them
search by yourself to see what's going on

καλές οι επιστήμες και τα διπλώματα
το θέμα όμως είναι τι γίνεται μετά
Λοιπόν που λες το πρόβλημα δεν είναι το να μπεις
είναι που σου την έχουνε στημένη μόλις βγεις

sciences are good and so are diplomas
but the issue is what happens afterwards
So, now that we're talking, the problem
is not to enter
it's that they're waiting for you when you get out


και όπως δεν υπάρχει και προγραμματισμός
αρχίζουνε τα κόλπα κι ο ανταγωνισμός
καλό είναι ένα δίπλωμα απ’ ανώτατη σχολή
μα οι θέσεις είναι λίγες κι απόφοιτοι πολλοί

and as there is no planning
tricks begin and compeititon
it's good to have a degree from a superior academia
but the spots are few and the graduates many

Γι’ αυτό σου λέω σκέψου το και πρόσεξε πολύ
γιατί πριν από σένανε την πάθανε πολλοί
που πήραν το πτυχίο τους και με βαθμό καλό
κι αφού δουλειά δε βρήκαν το κάνανε ρολό
ρολό λοιπόν το κάναν κι όπως ήταν φυσικό
κι αφού το καμαρώσαν το βάλανε στο...

that's why I'm telling you, thinking it over and take care
because many have had it before you
who got their degree and with a good grade
and since they couldn't find a job
they turned it into a roll
and after they admired they stuffed it in their a...

Κάποιος παλιός συνάδελφος
τον βρήκε κάπου κάποτε
καθίσαν κάτι ήπιανε
και για πολύ μιλήσανε

Some old collegue
found him someplace somewhere
they sat down and drunk
and talked for long

Άνεργος όπως ήτανε
εύκολα αυτός εδέχτηκε
δεν το πολυκουβέντιασε
καθώς παιχνίδι έμοιαζε.

As he was unemployed
he accepted easily
he didn't talk it over much
as it seemed as a game

Πολλά δεν του ζητάγανε
ενώ πολλά του δίνανε
καλά δεν το κατάλαβε
πώς όλα τ άλλα γίνανε.

They weren't asking him for much
but they were giving him a lot
he didn't understood it well
how everything else happened

Σιγά-σιγά πώς γύρισε
παλιούς φίλους πώς μίσησε
πώς έγινε κι απάτησε
όσους πολύ αγάπησε

how little by little he turned
how old friends he hated
how it happened and he cheated
those who he loved very much

Είδα τη Ρίτα νοικοκυρά
Αχ, Ρίτα, αχ μωρέ Ρίτα
βιάστηκες να μπεις σε μια σειρά
Είδα τη Ρίτα κι ήταν καλά

I saw Rita, a housewife
Ah Rita ah poor Rita
You hurried to get in line
I saw Rita and she was fine

Αχ, Ρίτα, αχ μωρέ Ρίτα
από σένα εγώ περίμενα πολλά
Μα συ παντρεύτηκες, νοικοκυρεύτηκες
με λίγα λόγια, έγινες μαντάμ
Μα συ παντρεύτηκες, νοικοκυρεύτηκες
τώρα βολεύτηκες και κάνει μπαμ

Ah Rita poor Rita
I was expecting lots from you
But you got married, you settled down
long story short, you became a lady
But you got married, you settled down
You got cozy and it's obvious

Είδα τη Ρίτα νοικοκυρά
Αχ, Ρίτα, αχ μωρέ Ρίτα
ξέχασες ποια ήσουν μια φορά
Είδα τη Ρίτα κι ήταν καλά
Αχ, Ρίτα, αχ μωρέ Ρίτα
κάποτε μιλούσες για πολλά.

I saw Rita, a housewife
Ah Rita poor Rita
you forgot who you were once
I saw Rita and she was fine
Ah Rita poor Rita
once, you were talking about a lot of things

Ένα φιλάκι είναι λίγο, πολύ λίγο,
δύο φιλάκια είναι λίγα, τι να πω,
τρία φιλάκια είναι λίγο, πολύ λίγο,
δώσε μου τέσσερα αν θες να σ’ αγαπώ

A kiss is little too little
two kisses are little, what can I say
three kisses are little too litle
give me four, if you want me to love you


Δώσ’ μου πολλά φιλιά, αμέτρητα, τρελά
κι εγώ βασίλισσα θα σ’ έχω στη καρδιά μου,
μη τσιγγουνεύεσαι, πάντα να σκέφτεσαι
πως τα φιλιά είν’ η καλύτερη δουλειά.

Give me lots of kisses, imeasureable kisses, crazy kisses
And I'll have you queen in my heart
Don't get shallow, always think
That kisses are the best job one can have



Have a Good Heaven Loukiane
Always in our hearts
