Do we need to second vote someone here?
On Digital Radio Central, when a celebrity's obituary is posted, if someone says "Second," then that celebrity is added to the annual list of deceased celebrities. At the end of the year, we vote on that list to determine who was the year's biggest celebrity to die. We don't do that on Sirius Buzz. But I thank you for your interest. Leave your name and address with the secretary in the front office and if anything turns up, we'll get in touch with you. (I stole that line from Groucho Marx.)
