Congrats to the February 2010 Lee Jr. Winners!

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.

First Three-Bagger Complete!

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.
