Aaronk is on the clock, and 4.25 hours have passed as he was 'up' during his sleep time, so the clock didn't start

PokerCrazy could pick right now if he was picking from 'Fictional Villain', ' TV Duos', or 'Deniro Movies but this is his sleep time, so it's unlikely.

True North may not pick yet as there are no overlapping categories.

In that case, PokerCrazy is on the clock, but it doesn't start for ~1.75 hours.
TrueNorth can go ahead and pick as long as it's a 'Sports Uniform', 'Poker Hand', or 'Funny Cartoon Animal'

Funny cartoon animal it is!

Daffy Duck

At least as funny as #1 pick Bugs Bunny. Daffy is the star of the very best Merrie Melodies short:

Duck Amuck

and equal co-star of the awesome Rabbit Season/Duck Season trilogy.

For biggest sporting fail i've got to go with Karius's performance v Real Madrid in last years Champions League final - his 2 horrendous mistakes basically cost Liverpool the trophy.

What a game though, incredible. Will remember it for the rest of my life

Spurs is on the clock and technically has until ~5:15am server time to pick because of his sleep schedule.

SuqAta can pick right now if he wants to pick 'Evil Company', or 'Deniro Movies' otherwise he must wait.
Chuck can not pick anything at the moment.

And oddly enough, Insanity can actually make his 5th pick already if he wants to draft a 'Funny Cartoon Animal'

I'll take the USA's continued support of apartheid state Israel.

The US gives them billions of $ every year, and abuses their political power in the UN to stop Israel being punished for the oppression and war crimes they keep committing.

Hopefully this ends before Israel's not-so-secret objective of exterminating all Palestinians is achieved. The irony of the Jewish state doing this seems to be completely lost on the extremist Zionists.

The Tuskegee Syphilis Study, cited as "arguably the most infamous biomedical research study in U.S. history"

Quote:

The Public Health Service started working on this study in 1932 in collaboration with Tuskegee University, a historically black college in Alabama. Investigators enrolled in the study a total of 600 impoverished, African-American sharecroppers from Macon County, Alabama. Of these men, 399 had previously contracted syphilis before the study began, and 201 did not have the disease.[2] The men were given free medical care, meals, and free burial insurance for participating in the study. The men were told that the study was only going to last six months, but it actually lasted 40 years.[2] After funding for treatment was lost, the study was continued without informing the men that they would never be treated. None of the men were ever told that they had the disease, and none were treated with penicillin even after the antibiotic was proven to successfully treat syphilis.

Thought about drafting that with my last pick but figured I would be safe for a couple of rounds.

Please excuse the interruption, but I have a question for Spurs. My Youtube feed started suggesting videos of "Irish people react to different American things" and I'm hooked. (One of the videos has a gorgeous Irish lass drinking shots of increasingly potent alcohol.)

Anyhow, here's the question. Do Irish people hate peanut butter? Do most/all Europeans hate peanut butter? Before another one of the videos, I'd never have thought such a thing was possible. Who could hate peanut butter? Other than people who are allergic to it, of course.

The Deer Hunter

Not gonna comment on the movie because it's my category but what I will say is that the director was an absolute nut job.

The success of The Deer Hunter meant that he was allowed to make Heaven's Gate. Read about some of the stuff that went on during the making of it here: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080855...ef_=tt_trv_trv

Based on the video, I'm led to believe that Irish people don't like it at all.

There's probably a distinction between jam and jelly, but they're pretty much interchangeable to most Americans.

Ever tried peanut butter with nutella? Yum.
