Studs Terkel Dead At 96
Studs Terkel, author and champion of the common man, has died at the age of 96. His death gives four points to Ewing Oil, who now trails Sweet Valley Death 177-94."Sure, the points don't amount to very much," said a spokesperson for Ewing Oil, "but we do lead S.V.D. in overall deaths. In the event of a tiebreaker this could be very big, but we still need Ron Springs to wake up and do something. Poor choice of words. Ron, don't wake up, but do something!"
At the End of October...
