Yep – tombstones CAN be funny. Or sad. Or just dumb.

It’s all official-like now – the standings for the February 2010 Lee Jr. ar final. Means that the winners will get their prizes shortly. $1000 for first place (User00180), $200 for second (Doc and DJ), $50 for third (EMF Coffin), and then cool mugs or shirts for places 4 & 5, and free entries into any game for the 6 and 7 place poolsters.

That’s what it’s all about here at the stiffs.complex – the winners circle. Well, and people dying. And booze.

Interesting and morbid.  Just like us.

15 Things You Didn’t Know About Death

It was a radical shift in the world of deadpoolin’ – but the first Three-Bagger is – ahem - in the bag.

With the timely passing of Ernie Harwell, Ghosts of Stiffs Past won it with … And This Is My Other Carcass Daryl – with Daryl Gates and Merlin Olsen rounding out the trifecta.  Congrats to our latest winning corpse counter.

That was so much fun, we started another one.  Go give her a try, and maybe YOU can be the next Big Winner.  Choose carefully, grasshopper.

Interesting page with pictures of people you recognize, but don’t necessarily KNOW.  This is a great example of why we have the all-powerful Fame Committee.

Now that we’ve dispelled the myth of the “celebs dying in threes” thing, it’s time to start a new game where you try to get three hits.  Makes sense to us, and that’s really all that matters.

The basic principals are the same:  you pick a list of 10 would-be daisy-pushers (and one alternate in case one croaks on you a bit early), and then you comb the Stiffs.com Forums waiting for the good news.  But there is a difference here – there is not end date for this game.  This one is purely based on who gets 3 stiffs first.  As soon as someone hits that magical 3rd corpse, the game is over, and out goes the cash.

The cash distribution is a bit different too – it goes out based on points like before – but this is our first game with a PRIZE POOL.  Winners get a percentage of the prize pool – so the more people you get playing, the more money you win!  Woo hoo!

Comments welcome, as long as it’s nothing about the rules.  Or who’s famous.  Or why I’m so handsome.  We’re tired of answering those all the time.
