STANDINGS: Down the stretch they come

I use the horse racing phrase to highlight that I am now in the lead whether or not you choose to allow Barbaro or not!

I think I just set the record for most prepositional phrases ever used in a sentence...

265 - Vince R - Ho, Astor, Pavarotti (419 if you allow the horse)

221 - Brian G - Buchwald, Yeltsin

83 - Larry V - Bishop

81 - Mark M - Vonnegut

0 - Buying the Farm - fitting for them from kicking our asses for the last few years!

DEATHSCORE: Joey Bishop dead at 89

All of the rats are gone now...

The last surviving member of the Rat Pack, Joey Bishop, passed away today at the age of 89 after battling numerous illnesses. The NY Times tells the story of an almost reticent celebrity who played the straight man to the hell raising other Rats like Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr. and Peter Lawford.

To the digits as Larry V busts his Mortfolio hymen...

(125- age 89)*1.2 CK = 43 plus 40 point solo shot = 83 Total!!!
