- The Dodgers' 2010 playoff hopes
Remember, he/she who killed you buys your first round. MLASF, I just want a beer. In honor of the would-be prey I never got to stalk, make it a Polar.
For the rest of you, here's the updated circle (number of kills in parenthesis):
And one rule clarification: the last allowable comment is at 3:00pm. 3:01 is too late. And here's the side-conversation thread.
Ok, living: kill away!
Here are the rules

in?
*pokes head out to do some recon*
Zombie passing through.
Who buys the drink for the Dodgers' playoff hopes? Broxton? Belisario probably shouldn't be near a bar.
FB: Gonna take a chance that Paul won't kill you?
The dead lead a much less stressful life.
Where's my drink, MLASF?
Here Orel Orel Orel!
boom
Josh S - I guess we can't really blame on one guy, but let's go ahead and put it on Broxton.
Domino
AAUGH
Ooh, Finley's taunts are met with a bullet to the forehead!
Sweet. Fresh brains.
It was oddly worth it.
Want some pico de gallo to go with dem brains
@MB;
Sorry I wasn't so nice this round.
As they say, You're gone like yesterday.
Buy me a drink when I meet up at the Assassin's Bar.
@Neeebs - it works the other way around. My bar tab is on you. Beware, I've never been a cheap date. I may be a MSB but I can devinitely hold my own.
Oops correction, "definitely". We wouldn't want Dusty to go ballistic.
See you in the afterlife!
@MB: No problem. I have a line of credit at the bar that not even RBN can put a dent into.
Chain is broken. The thread needs a new initiator. Come on, people! Brains are like Chinese food: An hour later you're hungry again.
Kinda interesting that both lower halves of the circle have been destroyed, while both upper halves are relatively intact.
I know J Steve is pulling the trigger as I speak, but I'm a sitting duck next week anyway as classes start up. Might as well enjoy my weekend.
Sorry...
bang
And now... where's Mr C???
@J Steve - no worries. Time zones don't work in my favor today.
Readying to go to the bar and put it on the Underhill's tab (or Neebs)
Body count rising. I like it!
You gotta watch out for that Loney Fan. He doesn't kill for power, but he drives a lot of bodies into the ground.
@ Steve D: I knew I was toast with LF out to get me. And I assume Mr C is staying in hiding with his stalking Venezuelan assassin.
Paging Schleprock.
Steve D: I thought about staying in hiding until 3 and forgoing the kill just to avoid LF.
Giants trade for Jose Guillen. McC cries. That's a good sign.
This was supposed to be the post-game thread!!!! Argh.
Mr. F, you are the man
I should start a Giants news blog so I can post Giants news on that blog, and then my chances of accidentally leaving myself open for assassination would decrease dramatically.
BEN: You can't win, MRLASF. If you strike me down, I shall become more
powerful than you can possibly imagine.
Well, if Mr. C was hiding to avoid Karina things just got even tougher now as she has no fear of being killed.
MLASF is to be feared. I thought I snuck my comment in right at the last second yesterday but he snuck his in after mine.
Actually my fear of him is what saved you yesterday, Mr F.
Karina, as our last standing female assassin, must also be feared. She led in kills at one point last year before being eliminated.
Fear is the Mindkiller
Ah screw it.
NOW SOMEONE SHIELD ME FROM THE WRATH OF SAX

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
I LIVE TO KILL AGAIN!!!
Damn.
I'm sorry karina. I hope MRLASF doesn't kill you, too. But hopefully you can kill Greg now.
Stupid short attention span.
You live today, Wicks, but I can still see you from the clock tower.
Orel, you are my foe.
@Neeebs 10:02
I accept that challenge.
Orel's dead, rbn. SRM is your foe.
@DB 11:45
Answer sent.
god dammit...no reason to wait now. there's a black wind blowing
Thanks, MLASF. Didn't read down far enough.
FB,
Still owe you a cover.
"there's a black wind blowing"
Heh...that's a grim picture you paint, OTB. It does feel like Mordor around here.
I hope that my blunder at least put a smile on somebody's face.
NOOOO!
MOAR BRAINZ PLZ!
Lightning hit my place of business and knocked out my internet just mins before you posted OT Bound....you are very lucky!
Oh and rbnlaw the clock tower will do you no good as I am the leader of the underground......hahahahahahahahaha
Kill time always happens the moments I step away from the computer. Live for another day, die tomorrow...?
Or Monday, as the case may be, Todd.
Not sure if my calculations are correct but I believe that the only people left out there who can be assassinated are Sax, Mr. C, and FB.
Will FB even post? He claimed he was going to be out for awhile (given how PO'd he was about yesterday's debacle).
Marking my territorre for the east side of Brawley Ca. And to add insult to injury, MB you had me if you held your trigger finger steady right now cause I'll be on the road till after 3, hence would have been a sitting duck at this moment
7 seems to be the magic number. Last year there were 7 kills the first day, 7 kills the second. This year there have been 7 kills the first day and 7 so far today.
@LF
Symmetry with Loney's #, too. Nice.
ah, patience. The curse of the SOSG assassins.
Wicks, I think you got him, actually. Those aren't live comments in between.
I think we're cursed with far more than lack of patience, RBN.
Meetings kept me away from my camouflaged perch for a while there...someone ready to shield me?
Being the initiator, Wicks still gets his kill shot, so Hundley is dead.
Sorry, OTB, not Hundley. OTB is dead.
But Wicks was stalking OTB, not Hundley, right?
^ Right, MLASF
Yeah, Hundley almost saved his own assassin.
man, I'm so underground I didn't even know I killed him.
Greg can still jump in and take Sax down.
Just sayin.
Don't start taunting Greg, dudes
The great thing about the Assassin's Circle is that it allows us to forget about our collective woes. (And you know what that is.)
The dead so far are:
Meaniebreanie
Greg Finley
Orel
Steve Dittmore
J. Steve
Mr. F
On-Bound Theriot
14 dead total.
@Neeebs
It's my day off, and I've been friggin with Assassin's Circle intrigue all day so far. I've gone to Sbux and done one easy chore, and that's it. I'm pathetic. Thanks, EK!
GO GREG GO YOU'RE STILL IN THIS
Mr. C, Karina, Greg, Fred's Brim, and Paul have yet to comment.
Mr LA SF, if he kills me, he's coming for you.
And I'm giving him my dossier with all your info...
since wicks didn't have the requisite mens rea to assassinate me (read: murder), i'm still in right??? ah well...fun while it lasted. body may be viewed lying in state, face down, in the gutter.
Sure wish KempKershaw were playing.
*takes safety off*
Looking for those x-ray goggles to find Wicks.
Oh, I'll find ye. I will.
On the bright side, the AC Bar now serves breakfast!!
Witching hour 114 minutes away...
Bloody Marys only $3.50!
What are the odds I sit around here another 113 minutes to see what transpires?
Speaking of Bloodys, anyone else in the area off work and up for a couple cold ones and AC thread watching?
DB - too bad I'm not in the area, otherwise I'd be calling around to find a local bar that's showing AC on the bigscreen.
Does the AC bar have Hennessy Ellipse? It's the only thing to wash down brains.
Come on Greg! You call yourself an assassin? Sax is sitting on your doorstep. Maybe if we tie a bow around his neck like a giant assassin present?
I predict:
-FB no-shows
-Paul will post just before 3, just in case FB is being sneaky.
-Karina saves Sax and lets Mr. C dangle for the weekend.
Wait...I have that Paul/FB stuff backwards.
No one gets spanked, though, Josh?
Damn. Now I'm left with Mr C dangling imagery.
Just sent Greg an email asking him why he hasn't killed Sax.
Just kidding. That would be considered a Faberuben violation.
Greg is either toying with Sax or sleeping off last night's game.
Josh is right.I'm the shield for Sax,after all I'd have dated him in middle school!
Tried to be cold-blooded and hunt for Mr C,but I can't leave Sax sitting alone, unprotected.
Then you would have broken up with him cruelly in junior high, right Karina?
Looks like Fred's Brimm is the only one left waiting for death.
Karina to the rescue! Be careful to whom you give charity, karina. Sax could soon be your stalker.
My favorite occurrence of the day would have to be Mr F accidentally wandering into the warzone with the innocent intention of sharing NL West news with his fellow Dodger brethren.
Then getting ruthlessly gunned down in a hail of gunfire.
Besides, my killer instinct is still on vacation.This morning I cut myself in a freak accident with a tuna can, with one of those thingies to open it easy.I spilled my own blood,even the fridge door.
That stuff happens to sharp killers, right?
You know, karina, you didn't HAVE to prove me right.
And, sadly, when I name the above my favorite occurrence of the day, I'm including real-world happenings too.
@EK
Yeah Mr F was like an innocent child riding his Big Wheels out front who was cruelly caught in rival gang crossfire.
@Dusty Baker no, he would have dumped me, to start dating a pretty and popular girl.
@Josh it's scary how well you understand me.
I cross fingers if Sax gets to kill me (in the case MR LASF can't), I'll get a painless death.
I have at least gone through with my pre-assassination prediction of "demonstrating my inability to hurt even a fly."
I would have dated you in middle school too Karina, if only I had graduated elementary school.
Witching hour 70 minutes away...
@Karina
Actually I think you need to kill Sax in a fit of jealousy over that cheerleader skank that Sax dumped you for in junior high. You know they ended up with 8 kids and 3 mortgages on their doublewide trailer, right?
Yeah I was impressed karina saved Sax in spite of the dumping. That's true love.
In other news, it appears there is someone named Maxene Fabe who collaborates often with someone named Ruben Yandoc in the comic book industry.
I discovered that by googling "faberuben."
Whew, safe for the weekend.
Crap play the ewok music everbody wins.
Once again happy hour gets in the way of me killing someone.
Mr. C was my last hope of drawing FB out early. I can't trust this iPhone down to the wire plus this whole hearing thing that should be called shortly.
poke poke
Still nothing from FB.
C'mon, Brimmy! Defending champs don't get to just flame out!
Man, I'm now more lost than ever. Obviously I didn't get Sax but Dusty didn't get me either or what's going on here?
Greg: Dusty's comment at 11;45 shielded MLASF, but rendered him unable to kill you today.
I'm confused Paul, why would Mr. C draw FB out early?
Work blows! I almost completely forgot about my obligation to the AC Bar. Josh S., what drink am I buying you?
It's gotta be 5 o'clock somewhere (consults globe).
@Q7: A Zombie, natch.
Speaking of zombies and Dodgers:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zombie_Nation_%28band%29
I had NO FUCKING CLUE this was the band/song played at DS after HRs.
*crawls back under rock*
I've been waiting for your drink request as well Quad, and now yours J. Steve.
A Zombie, of course. Very nice Josh S.
Loney Fan, usually I'd go for a good scotch, but recently I've been craving some Rolling Rock.
FB's running out of time.
Ah, the old "33". One ice cold green bottle coming right up.
Thanks. Got it now and ready for any last minute carnage.
Old Latrobe!
FB: man of his word
FB dies of inactivity. The worst death of all.
8 dead, so much for the rule of 7s in the first two rounds.
josh - thanks for the heads up! So I live to not die another day. W00t
R.I.P.F.B.
@Loneyfan
I thought maybe FB was going to post and then Mr. C would shield him. Mr. C was the only one I could remember who was left to comment. Once he did FB had no reason but wait till the last minute which I couldn't do because of work and drinking (in that order)
@Josh
your first prediction was dead on!
Not that Mr. C was in on it but FB knew he had to post as well. Turns out FB didn't care. He had bigger fish to fry.
@Paul: Between this and the Delwyn Young homer off Strasburg, I could have a real career in predicting completely irrelevant shit!
FB is having fish fry? MMMMmmmm....
I want to kill Greg for not having a photo.
No repeat winner!
I've got a chance to redeem last year.
EK, we go on hiatus for the weekend, right?
Yep, even killers have to have a weekend off here and there.
Thanks again for the save, karina my love
I have eight killed today:
1. Meanie (by Neeebs)
2. Greg Finley (by Orel)
3. Orel (by Spank)
4. S Dittmore (by J Steve)
5. J Steve (by LF)
6. Mr F (by MLASF)
7. OTB (by Wicks)
8. Fred's Brim
Any discrepancies? Let me know...
Should be:
Fred's Brim (self-inflicted)
It's a pleasure,my darling Sax.
One question:if one doesn't show up, does it mean one killed oneself?
@Karina
That's what I meant by "self-inflicted."
@Karina and Sax
Get a room!
Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me.
We pillage, we plunder, we rifle, and loot,
Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho.
We kidnap and ravage and don't give a hoot,
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.
