John Stalkerestest |
Years in DDP: 3 Best position: 105th (2005) |
Mr Stalkerestest's picks consist entirely of celebrities he has met or seen in person. As far as we know, he does not have any contagious diseases and is relying on pure coincidence. So far the only evidence of such coincidence is the fact that his solitary hits in 2005 (when he was called John Stalker) and 2006 (when he was called John Stalkest) both happened on Christmas Day - a phenomenon which would earn a "party pooper" bonus under the new scoring system for 2007. Roll on 25 December! |
