I spent an evening in a pub with him once. A modest guy with a great voice. RIP.

[Jaguar]

[Chuck]

Martin Gardner, on May 22.

[Zag]

On no! One of the greatest puzzlers of all time.

[Trojan Horse]

If not THE greatest.

[PuzzleScot]

<groan> I had always hoped to make it to a Gathering for Gardner one day.

[referee]

Another 58 points go begging. RIP, Gary Coleman.

And another 26 points go unclaimed with the death of Dennis Hopper.

[Trojan Horse]

Rue McClanahan, dead at 76.

Betty White must be getting nervous now; she's the only Golden Girl left.

[Jaguar]

I just watched Betty White on Ellen the other day. She's looking pretty good.

I find it a little funny that Betty is on someone's list, but Rue isn't. 24 points unclaimed.

[dethwing]

Hmm. My keyboard moved the r and t around and then back again when I wasn't looking!

He couldn't find the "Drunken Posts" thread?

It looks like PuzzleScot is going to score 7 points for Zsa Zsa Gabor. (Hasn't happened yet, but it probably won't be much longer.)

[Chuck]

Tony Curtis, dead at 85. Looks like TGC chose the wrong actor in the family.

15 points goes begging.

[Quailman]

I don't know if I get a token point, but that's three for me, on my way to the Quantity-not-quality award
