I am liking your sarcasm, you will fit in just fine.

I think Zsa Zsa Gabor is testament to the patience of all who post on this site.

Who needs a computer programme to do it when we have our very own Statto in the form of Rotten Ali!

He's obviously got no particular place to go and perform a gig.

Member Spade_Cooley infamously stated earlier in this thread, "Hey noobs, what'll happen in your first week is you post here then someone will call you a cunt for starting a thread about something we already have a thread about or posting a death in the wrong topic. Don't take that personal, it's kinda like really ineffectual hazing". Well, I've been a member here since the 6th of January ( 7 whole fun-filled days!) with a userpic that apparently looks to some like an American outlaw and it was suggested today that perhaps I should intro myself here - in the correct thread for doing so. I feel welcome here already as in my brief tenure I have been told with some conviction that I had posted in the wrong thread, asked if I was an "actual, you know, human being?", had it suggested that I was "possibly the forums (sic) most "robotic poster" or a human with the personality characteristics of a well used blow up doll" and then been referenced with great British sarcasm in a comment about the forum "certainly attracting some high quality posters nowdays". That was after it was suggested that I conduct a search before posting next time and misspelled a gallant defenders name in my reply to him which resulted in a prediction that I would soon be called "a massive **** now". My apologies again, Dr. Zorders, and I appreciate you not yet calling me a massive derogatory anatomical anything yet. I'll note my first days here as normal, take no offense, make myself welcome and attempt to post significant and appropriate contributions to these forums. Oh, I'm a Yank from the Carolinas with an interest in death and dying and a bad obsession with history/politics and pop culture. I also collect vintage photography and images and hence my userpic will likely change frequently to reflect my moods and temperament.

That's one of those 'tomahto/tomayto' things. You call it cool, I call it daft. regards, Hein

Short update on the post layout issue. I know where to tackle it, but not completely how. I haven't had time to crack that yet. My hope is that I can present results Thursday. Please be patient, I will solve it. regards, Hein

Admittedly, I am off to a rough start with my postings and I apologize profusely and bow before the superior Lord Fellatio Nelson in submission to his clear authority and perfection! Sorry for mistyping your name Dr. Zorders, I'm sure I'll find my due place in this fellatiocracy soon enough!

After the death of Billie Whitelaw I've decided to tip Roy Hattersley as one of the next 1932-born-person(s) who never seems to have any particular illness or cancer, but just suddenly keels over one day.

Are you an actual, you know, human being? Possibly the forums most "robotic poster" or a human with the personality characteristics of a well used blow up doll. We are certainly attracting some high quality posters nowdays, aye. Now, there's a decent question. Could a bot post here without detection and - if so - for how long. And, how long before those of us keen on a bit of dead pooling start considering packing up and going home because we're thrashed in all competitions by specially written software? "We believe that when you create a machine to do the work of a man, you take something away from the man." - Sojef. Haha, Trekkie! In other news, tell us more about this "hypothetical" future world where we all get thrashed at deadpooling by a robot, MPFC....... I can't which is why I was asking but I'm assuming a computer programme to beat a human at dead pooling would be way easier to write than one to beat a human at chess. It would need to be able to trawl newspaper coverage of celebrities and illness/old age, vector in the relative survival chances and make some allowance for the uncertainties, like the points at which the likes of Zsa Zsa tease us about their real age and the state of their health. I'm not an expert in programming, but that's easier than the kind of programmes that people like actuaries use, right? When's your birthday, I'll get you a new sarcasm detector..... When its yours I will get you a big box to stand on so that you are nice and tall. Stuff may not go over your head quite so often then.

You've got to hand it to him...

If Dozy's coffin gets stuck they could always Bend It... or shake it

Frank Carson's widow Ruth, has died three years after her husband. To paraphrase Frank, the report's a 'cracker'

I'd try the Ask a Deathlister topic for that. regards, Hein

I'm not so sure about the 'very big turd' bit, so I would never write such a thing, but yes, by law they could. I have no idea if Dutch authorities are monitoring this forum (in case they do: goedemorgen!) but I imagine that nicking me for posting such an insult here is not their highest priority. Many years ago I was indicted for blasphemy, but the case was dropped after the public prosecuter realised that he had little to gain and much to lose in publicity if he didn't. regards, Hein

Hey noobs, what'll happen in your first week is you post here then someone will call you a cunt for starting a thread about something we already have a thread about or posting a death in the wrong topic. Don't take that personal, it's kinda like really ineffectual hazing.
