In a year that will be remembered, among many things, for the seemingly high volume of celebrity deaths, Tomb Bowl XIII has remained rather inactive. James took the early lead with Abe Vigoda's passing in late January, but then there was no movement while major names were leaving this mortal realm left and right.
On December 18th, however, Hungarian socialite and actress Zsa Zsa Gabor died at the age of 99, roughly 2 months shy of her 100th birthday. Zsa Zsa was among the first celebrities of recent history to be famous for no reason other then being attractive, paving the way for empires like the reality television stars of today.
Ms. Gabor's passing gave John his first point of Tomb Bowl XIII and tied the score at 1-1. This was a crucial pickup for John so late in the year as, in the event of a tie, he would still hold first pick in January 1st's selections for Tomb Bowl XIV and he still would retain possession of the coveted Tomb Bowl Tombstone.
However, having lost celebrities like George Michael and Carrie Fisher both within a 48 hour span, anything can happen in Tomb Bowl XIII!
