Coming soon: Keanu Reeves in Catcher In The Rye!

Author JD Salinger is dead at 91, and only three players had him: Natalie Tyler's Writing Oneself to Death List, Myriam Shelby and Brave Sir Robin. All are getting their first hit of the game, and end up as 6th, 7th, and 8th in the standings.

Congrats, you phonies!

Come into the Light. ALL ARE WELCOME!

Poltergeist's Midget Dwarf Little Person Munchkin Psychic Zelda Rubenstein is dead at 76. For those who didn't realize it - SHE was the celeb that I mentioned at the beginning of the game that was close to death. Obviously, she held on a little bit to give our 2 players (and 5 lists) a bit of a worry.

Mike Roche takes the lead, with Grady Harmon right behind him. Mike Roche's List 2, List 4 and List 3 fill out the rest of the hits. (They aren't in order because he had her ranked differently on each list.)

Congrats, Grady and Mike x4!

1/18/2009 - I'm in the process of adding the awarding of a tiebreaker point for each solo, starting with the 2009 game. This modification will take some time, and you'll see hints of it throughout the site until it's fully implemented. I'll add a post here when it's done.
