I've won contests here and they just cheat you out of your prize anyway and give it to their favorites. You should be happier that there is no prize so you know going in.

Ps. Flower thinks you suck.
Maybe if you piut thatdeath pool thing as a seaprate forum, I would easily know when new threads start or whatever. I mean, I didnt even know Basedow was gone. Am I supposed to be totally caught up on this board at all times?

I am curious as to what incentives could be offered to a death pool where the prize is pride though.

ATTENTION EVERYONE: Due to grousing about the results from last year, this year's Superbowl pool has been called off.

Bragging and/or bitching rights.

Your choice of non-invasive sexual act performed by one of the admins?

What good are sexual acts if they aren't invasive?

It sounds more like you're the "B" to his "M" in your NAMBLA get togethers.

This could use some embellishment.

I will be sprinkled across the blue states. Or some other highbrow and politically obsure thing like that. Though I guess "eat me" is a political statement too.

Eat me.

I can't talk about some gross sex shit with a buddy while his wife is hanging on his leg, nor can I have a laugh with some ex-gf about something related to our old realtionship when her bf is groping her. Get over the fact your old lady and I used to fuck, Eugene. Its no biggie.
Translation: My wife is sick of my schtick.

The incentive to pick younger celebrities is that you will be more likely to win in the event of a tie as to number of dead celebrities. If there is a tie, each celeb on the tied FB lists will be assigned a point value based on [100 - that celebrity's age at death]. Person with highest point total would win the tie.

Speaking of this, what is with all of you lawyer types not reading directions? I won't even tell you how many lists I received that included Wild Card picks this year. You can't all be fucking litigators can you? Where is TM to point out that all us transactional types are paid to do anyway is to read directions?
