With Whom Do You Share Your Birthday?

[mob roulette]

The fact that Tom Selleck and Oprah Winfery both share your birthday kind of balances you out in the points department. I have you sitting pretty much at zero right now. That's why you should post your entire list, so we can pick and choose. Let us decide for you. We know better. Trust me on this one.

[disgustipated]

What is the point system here?

[Hannahrain]

That question just lost you thirty points. The points are decided based on a strict system of whatever the fuck we feel like awarding or deducting. It's an exact science.

[J~$$$]

# 1979 Rider Strong (actor)
# 1955 or 54 Jermaine Jackson (singer)
# 1953 Bess Armstrong (actress)
# 1950 Christina Onassis (executive, heiress)
# 1949 Teri Garr (actress)
# 1946 Lynda Day George (actress)
# 1944 Brenda Lee (Tarpley) (singer)

[Hannahrain]

What are you talking about? You've got Rita Moreno. She was Anita AND Carmen Sandiego.

[mob roulette]

Ok so:

1859 - Billy The Kid, American outlaw (date of death disputed)
1887 - Boris Karloff, British actor (d. 1969)
1888 - Harpo Marx, American comedian (d. 1964)
1923 - R.L. Burnside, American musician (d. 2005)
1934 - Robert Towne, American writer, director, producer, and actor
1966 - Vincent Cassel, French actor
1973 - Trick Daddy, American rapper

+40. Easy. I did 5 points per name and 10 for R.L. Burnside. That's a catch. Not sure if we want to do deductions here or not, cause otherwise:

1944 - Joe Eszterhas, Hungarian-born film producer and writer
1954 - Bruce Hornsby, American musician

-40. Valiant effort though. Valiant.
