Doing an audit....
Butthead gets his first overall pick! http://www.latimes.com/local/obituaries/la-me-horace-silver-20140619-story.html#page=1
Wheezer gets his tenth! http://www.hugginsappliedhealing.com/
DPD.
Come on, People, stop fucking with me (http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/gossip/people-magazine-accidentally-publishes-kirk-douglas-obituary-article-1.2028858)!
Based on my record in this thing, please feel free to offer me money to be on my Deadpool list for 2015.
I'm going to claim the corpse of Robert Catalano, mind you.
For the unimaginative, the "Wellness Warrior" is predictably going to shit (http://www.jessainscough.com/2014/12/merry-christmas-overdue-update/).
Almost time to reboot this shit.
As we wait for Thrill to bring this back around, here are the updated historic standings.
Huey and I tie for first in 2014.

I've just realised that Dennis "Fergie" Frederiksen died less than three weeks after I finally gave up on him and dropped him from my roster, in January '14. Fucking Survivor, indeed. Cunt.
