Roger Ebert.  

No links yet, but all over social media - so it's got to be true.

Alternative Title: Beyond the Valley of the Dead

Points for Gil, Huey, CT, Bonk and Butthead.

Using a man's death to make people sign up for spam emails from the Sun-Times' "valued partners"?  FOR SHAME.

Second helpings of DEAD for Gil, Huey and CT. First blood drawn for Bonk and Butthead. Gil gets the best of this death with 7 points.

CT appears to be gunning for the First Annual Huard Pank Award for Outstanding Achievement in the Field of Dead Pool Inefficiency, bagging a pair of one-pointers so far.

If Pappy Bush and Ariel Sharon go toes-up next, he'll have the minimum 4 total points on his 4 kills, good for a tie for the lead in total kills and eleventh place in points.

(Huey would be tied with him for most kills in such a scenario, but would be tied for 6th place with a score of 9.)

Also, though maybe this sort of post doesn't belong here, this is pretty sad.

These are the worst 7 points I've ever gotten from this thread.

Why couldn't Harold Camping die?

So, what you're saying is that Fork got FACE'd again?

But seriously, Will Lietch is the worst.
