Now, don’t get too excited. We’ve got no fancy dance numbers, no lip-syncing pop-tards, no fireworks or funny commercials, not even Janet Jackson’s right tittie… it’s just a recap of the action that’s taken place over the past 6 months.
It’s been slow & steady. Not a whole lotta hits, but they do trickle in from time to time. So far, we’ve seen 9 selections take the big dirt nap since January 1st. Those dearly departed being: (in chronological order)
- Jimmy “Superfly” Snuka –
Professional Wrestler – 27 Points - Bishop Eddie Long –
Megachurch Pastor – 37 Points - Mary Tyler Moore –
Actress – 20 Points - Joost van der Westhuizen –
Int’l Rugby Star – 55 Points - Judge Joseph Wapner –
TV Judge – 3 Points - Chuck Berry –
Rock musician – 10 Points - Dan Rooney –
NFL Owner – 16 Points - Don Rickles –
Comedian – 10 Points - Roger Moore –
Actor – 11 Points
Those 9 corpses yielded a total of 733 points over 23 separate lists… which makes it sound just a touch more impressive. In the lead we have “J.Darr” (you people really need to come up with some creative pseudonyms) with 82 points and 2 hits. In 2nd place is “Doug Graves” (that’s more like it) with 75 points and 2 hits. Rounding out the top 3 is a 4 way tie between “C. Capps,” “B. Hollander,” “The Kim Reaper,” and “M. Poweleit” each with 55 points and a single hit. Up to date standings can be found – as always – on the leaderboard page.
The biggest disappointment of the first half: NO QUALIFIERS! By which we mean 3 or more hits on a single list, of course. Well… maybe not a “disappointment,” because that means it’s still anybody’s game…. but come on. Only 4 lists can boast 2 hits, while the rest on the leaderboard each only have a solitary notch on their scythes.
The year may be half over… but nobody has it locked in yet… and there’s plenty of time left on the clock. All it takes is for a couple of fresh bodies to drop for the game to change completely. Check the site for updates, follow us on Twitter, comment on death posts, and STAY TUNED. Will Stan Lee pull a Johnny Cash and throw in the towel soon after seeing his old lady bite the dust? Will Prince Phillip put an end to all this health-scare cock-teasing and move the fuck on? Will Shia Lebeouf accidentally drown himself in a koi pond filled with his own semen in some artsy publicity stunt gone horribly awry? Only time will tell. In the meantime, we’ll be watching… & waiting.
See you all in the 2nd half!
