[Captain Dave Poulin]

I already have my two favorite artists (Bill Watterson and Berkeley Breathed), so I will take the guy who is probably third. Rest in Peace.

"To jump into the legendary actor/actress category, the owners of the Tampa Bay FireSticks are immensely pleased to choose one of the all-time acting legends of Hollywood: Gregory Peck.

Born in 1916 in La Jolla, California, Mr. Peck's parents separated when he was 5 years old and he went to live with his grandmother. It was she who instilled his love for films by taking him to the movies every week. Mr. Peck studied pre-med at UC-Berkeley but switched to theatre. He enrolled in the Neighborhood Playhouse in New York and debuted on Broadway after graduation in The Morning Star." in 1942. By 1943, he was in Hollywood, where he debuted in the RKO film Days of Glory (1944).

From this start, Mr. Peck accumulated 58 acting credits, including 1 Best Actor Oscar win in 1963 for To Kill a Mockingbird, and 4 other Oscar nominations. Mr. Peck also won 4 Golden Globe awards in 1964 (Captain Newman, MD), 1978 (MacArthur), 1979 (The Boys from Brazil), and 1999 (Moby Dick).

"In 1967, Mr. Peck received the Academy's Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award. He was also been awarded the US Presidential Medal of Freedom. Always politically progressive, he was active in such causes as anti-war protests, workers' rights and civil rights.

@BigToe, remember that drafting is all right, but drafting with an idea behind it is much more important.

@BernieParent

Not enough belts and pouches

I feel like @Strawberry Fields is the only one who is working within the spirit of the spite player category...

We’re never playing hockey, so who cares? If you’re selecting someone to give them a stats nerf, is that really out of spite? I’m selecting people I want to house with my Team Serial Killer.

Right you are, Defective Aristocrat. Haughty Defect! Pompous Defect! Effete Defect!

I continue diving into Spite People. Today I Spite:

PATRIK ELIAS

The fact that this toolbag holds the season record for points for NJ at a paltry 96 tells you everything you need to know about how crushingly boring that team has been for so, so long. That's Erat/Legwand shit right there. Their so-far best ever forward embodies DPE sadness and trash hockey. I desire to put him in The Musher.

@Hollywood Cannon! Booming Cannon! Loud Cannon! Bombastic Cannon!

@JojoTheWhale and I do NOT like this, dearest Biffalicious.

On Roger Corman's 97th birthday, you bring this sacrilege into our house @Beef Invictus.

We could be talking about any of the dozens of perfectly solid movies he gave a robust budget of 84 cents. But we're not, are we?

I got two complete assholes while also nerfing one of the all time greats and nerfing all the idiots that come into our little e-stadium to defend the other one. #Levels

Corman has to hold the record for most MST3K spots

 

[Striiker]

I’m excited for my next spite pick

I don’t care about nerfing anyone. I’m just picking people who irritate me.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

@DancingPanther great pick earlier. Shemp is MASSIVELY underrated - he might actually be my favorite of the four (the only ones who matter).

 

[JojoTheWhale]

This hefty gal's aggressive painting style is so mesmerizingly unique that she must make the trip to the Quackverse with us. She holds the world record for the most expensive painting by an animal, coming in at just under $28,000. She's quite hideous to look at, but at the same time she's cute as a button.



Team Artist - Pigcasso

@ajgoal and/or @Captain Dave Poulin SOOOOOOOIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

There's a picture painted by a pig in my office, but I didn't know there were bourgeois pig artists. The one who painted mine was just named "Hatfield." That's a working pig's name.

Did you know that the world's oldest edible ham is over 100 years old?

Not for long.

If there's ever a time in my life I don't take post as a challenge, Old Yeller me.

 

[Striiker]

I didnt know Tyler Kennedy painted.

 

[Magua]

I’m going to buy a piglet, name him Jackson Hamhock, and teach him the art of drip painting. I think I have something here.

If you're willing to stud him out when he reaches maturity, Pigcasso would surely oblige. Could be the start of a monumental bloodline in the art world.

He is my preference to Curly but that isn't to say Curly is bad obviously. Both are great

I have one painted by Mr. Bruce, a penguin.

That rules.

I guess I should also say that I did have to re-gift a painting once because it was so bad. What I’m saying here is that Hatfield was a better painter than Henry Hill.

Misread the last name and thought “Well damn, that’s a bit aggressive…”.

[JojoTheWhale]

Righting wrongs feels good and I’m going to give myself a partially sentimental pick here. We’re Re-Drafting our Owner from way back in Phase 1.

@JojoTheWhale No one likes you. Hurry up.
