Adios Elizabeth Taylor

One of Hollywood's brightest stars went to the stars today. Elizabeth Taylor kicked the bucket at a surprisingly young 79. As someone who's never seen a moment of her during her prime, I'm left to read the obituaries about how well regarded she was as a talent.

I just know that she married and divorced like George Steinbrenner and Billy Martin.

With her departure she scores a solid 21 points to Mark Rolf.

Dennis is still, by far and away, our top scorer. But it's nice to score points in this dance. Only a handful of us have so far.

Nate Dogg gone but not forgotten

R&B singer and master of the West Coast gangster rap hook Nate Dogg died Tuesday, he was 41 years old. The platinum selling artist was a chart-topping monster when the West Coast rap scene exploded in the early 90's as he was part of the infamous Death Row Records which featured such juggernauts as Tupac Shakur, Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre among others.

It should come as no surprise to learn that our very own Grim Reaper aka Dennis Barnidge aka the Hunters was the proud owner of Nate Dogg. This marks the first death of our 3rd quarter (slated to end in April). Nate Dogg scores the Hunters a whopping 59 points.

He joins Anne Francis (20 points), Mick Karn (48 points), Laurent Fignon (50 points) and Simon MacCorkindale (42 points) as members of the Hunters who have died this season.

Add it up and it's not hard to see who's running away with this little dance of death we've got going on. The Hunters have a commanding 219 points.
