And one more question: If a celeb, born say 1. August 1950, kicks the bucket on 31. July 2010, do we score 41 or 40 points? - In other words, does the plain year of birth count, or do we take into account the number of years (arithmetically) fully lived? ![]() |

That's just the way we've always done it. I mean if everyone wants to change it for next year, we could try to all hash that out.

It's age. On July 31, 2010, the celeb would be 59. 100 minus 59 equals 41 points.

I don't think you're allowed to dislike Nancy Pelosi and Rush Limbaugh at the same time. It sets up a kind of disharmonic resonance that could cause a rip in the space time continuum. We're getting too close to 2012 to be risking that kind of shit.

No fair using my list twice man....sorta. You beat me with my list this year. I will need a bit to come up with the money as funds are a bit tight.

So the second list is your real one, classic?
oh and wait... last year radar had two lists and classic took the spare BUT castro featured in both, so I reckon that makes the second list null and void as you can't play for two teams..... you should both hit the tip jar with whatever you can afford whenever...
