Sal, different game. We're not playing it. Nevermind.
Re: Do you think Morrissey will finish the 2014 European Tour?

How about some sort of prize to the person who comes closest to the number of shows that will go on as scheduled?

Let's keep to the 31 dates scheduled and start now. The rules of the game.
List the 31 dates MORRISSEY is currently scheduled to play. Each date is worth 3 points. 31 x 3 = 93 points. If you say the date is to go on as scheduled and it does, you get 3 points. If you say the date will be cancelled and it is, you get 3 points. To keep it simple, we won't deal with re-scheduled dates or postponed dates or make ups. That would put us in 2 point, 1 point, etc. territory and we want to keep it simple. The person with the most points at the end wins. I have an incredibly rare poster collection. Why are so many not on the wall? Because so many are not framed. Whomever wins, gets the poster of their choice from my collection, aside from the giant "Viva Hate" from 1988, wider than it is tall, because I won't part with that. It was given to me, in Manchester, in 2004, by a friend.
NOTE: You may exceed 93 points if you say that Istanbul, Athens, will be scheduled, and either played or not played, bringing the maximum points allowed to 99 points. I'm not dealing with Bucharest and Budapest...sorry, because I am going for as close to 100 points possible without using decimal points.
