MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted March 28, 2007 Marvin got Ernest Gallo—as his best bet, no less. Too bad the guy was 98. The Best Bet made up for the fact he was 98..I got the original points...non best betted he would have only been worth 25. Im truly saddened..and will go find a bottle of wine made by one of his wineries (or whatever) and drink to his honor and stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CanadianChris 0 Report post Posted April 19, 2007 What a weird coincidence -- Brant Parker, who co-created The Wizard of Id with Johnny Hart, died eight days after Hart. Kitty Carlisle died Tuesday...sadly (for me), one year too late. She was one of my best bets last year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CanadianChris 0 Report post Posted May 16, 2007 Nope, nobody had Falwell. Maybe everyone thought he'd hang around just to spite everyone, like what Fred Phelps does every day he's still alive. And yes, you missed the deadline by a mere 135 days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
