Get your entry in before Jan 1!

It’s time to sign up for the most super-fun contest around!  The Stiffs.com, Lee Atwater Invitational Dead Pool.  You pick 10 celebrities you think are going to die next year, and if you get the most corpses, you win cash!  Woo hoo!  What’s more fun than THAT?

Entry information is on this page – I suggest  taking advantage of the Pistol Pete Maravich 3 for the price of two deal.  Buy two lists – get one free!  That’s $30 for a whole YEAR of fun!

Go.  Do it.  Now.

Medical Myths

From the world-famous Greg Husebye – medical myths that have been around forever.  I always knew about the tryptophan myth (there isn’t nearly enough in turkey to make you tired) but the others were new.  Enjoy.

Getting old

Three things today that made me feel old:

- I realized that last month  was my 25 – that’s TWENTY FIVE – year anniversary of working with computers.  I was a full time programmer for Big Five Software.  Check out my hair back then.

- I played golf today with two kids who were born the same year I started PLAYING golf.

- I got a haircut, and noticed that it is much, MUCH thinner than I thought it was.

<sigh>

The Return of Stiffs.com

The greatest dead pool in the history of the game – stiffs.com – is back online.  After significant issues with hosting, jerk ex-players, and all sorts of other issues, Zach has managed to get it rolling just in time for the 2008 contest.  OK – I helped a little.

Go there.  Enter. Have fun.
