As we wait to see Pen's final margin of victory (http://www.desipio.com/messageboard/index.php?topic=8005.0) and to finally put that behind us, I hope everyone's working on their lists for 2013 and checking them twice (to, say, make sure they're not already dead). And, if you're Wheezer, researching birth dates.
A recap on the scoring (http://www.desipio.com/messageboard/index.php?topic=7626.msg232398#msg232398):
a) Rank your picks 1-10, with points awarded according to rank
b) One bonus point added for each decade under 90
c) One penalty point deducted for each person other than yourself who picked the same person
d) Each correct pick is guaranteed a minimum of 1 point, regardless of deductions
e) 5 point penalty for late picks (picks in after the start of the year, but before the announcement of everyone else's picks sometime in January)
Submit picks by email by the end of 2012.

Oh, and gentlemen?

Not so fast. If Fergie Fredriksen or Joe Longthorne go between now and Hogmanay, I'm in like Flynn...
This is the time of year that gives me the biggest boner... snow, lights, presents, and DEATH.

Ah, I've got a pretty good feeling about my picks this time around. At least six would actually make the news, to boot.

I thought Oleg was in fact the reason for the existence of the tardiness penalty in the first place.
