Form Guide #2 It's Glynis Johns. Vote for Glynis Johns.

Cremated and put in a biogradable urn in the Irish Sea. Cue much wailing and knashing on ITV Granada Reports Facebook page about it turning into a tourist spot at Liverpool marina. One post said that they won’t let their children play in the Irish Sea with the ashes of Brady. clearly they’ve never been to Blackpool to swim .I’d say the ashes would be the least of their problems....

Says the guy who posts obscure American politicians and unknown university president.

Only three little weeks left to break Gerry's long lasting record! I honestly never thought 41 would make it this far. He was already looking frail and old toward the end of his son's presidency, and that was 9 years ago!

With the way this year has utterly disappeared, and how busy I am, I will forget to do this if I don't put it up now. So here you go... This Sunday sees nine weeks till Hogmanay, somehow, so debate who should go on the list here. The 2017 list saw 21/50 hits (so far), a fine performance THE RULES Rules 1. Please send a list of celebrities you wish to vote for to msc, during the time period of 25th November to the 31st December 2017. The list must have a minimum of 12 names on it, and a maximum of 50. Please send them by PM, not by email, semaphore, Morse code, Deathlist live chat, animated corpses, text messages, or any other means of communication you can think of. 2. Your 1st choice will gain 50 points, 2nd 49, etc etc to 50th which will gain 1 point. 3. When the deadline passes, all of the points that an individual celebrity gain will be added together, and the top fifty celebrities with the most points overall will go on the Utterly Unofficial Forum List. 4. Feel free to add substitutes at the bottom of the list, which will only be counted if one of your fifty die before January 1st 2018. If for example your number one pick is such a smart one they die before January 1st, then I will give 50 points to your 2nd pick, and so on until 1 point is given to the first substitute. 5. Do try to make the picks as "Deathlisty" as possible. More Lily Savage and less Sophie Sabbage, if you know what I mean. Someone likely to score an obit with one of the major English language news outlets. 6. The deadline for sending in entries is 31st December 2017 at midnight. That's 7pm New York Time (31st December) and 11am (1st Jan) Melbourne time to help out non-Brits. 7. This is essentially a forum game without a winner. It does however put the long held notion by some that the combined minds of the forum know better than the Committee to the test. 8. Who picked whom will remain anonymous. Unless the person announces it of course. 9. The paranoid probably shouldn't send in their DDP unique hopefuls. Whilst I do not intend to steal them away, it would make no sense: if the person then showed up on the list, their chances of being unique would be very slim indeed! 10. To keep to the Deathlist spirit, only the top 25 ranked celebrites from the current list of Crowdsourced Deathlist 2017 survivors will be used: Leah Bracknell, Kirk Douglas, King Michael of Romania, Prince Philip, Rev Billy Graham, Robert Mugabe, Jacques Chirac, Desmond Tutu, George Bush Sr, Olivia de Havilland, Leslie Philips, Former Pope Benedict XVI, Vera Lynn, Jimmy Carter, Glynis Johns, Clive James, Gina Lollobrigida, Herman Wouk, Stefan Karl Stefansson, Queen Elizabeth II, Sidney Poitier, Denis Norden, Ian St John, Sumner Redstone, Mikhail Gorbachev, Joanne Woodward, Monica Vitti, Jill Gascoine and Nanette Fabray. Some names there I don’t think anyone expected to be in contention for 2018, but there’s still time in 2017 yet. 10a) Our actual collated list will stick to the "25 from the previous year" rule. 10b) As a result, if our top fifty, after all votes have been counted, has more than twenty-five of the 2017 survivors (named for ease in Rule 10), then the lowest ranked excess survivors will be axed from the list in favour of The Fifty-First ranked celebrity and so on... 10c) Since we don't know if that'll be an issue until I actually do the counting, voters don't need to worry about limiting their personal lists to 25 survivors. It'd be nice if they did, but that's life. 11) Please pick living people. Folk do die before 1at January, but there were a few cases of people dead for a number of years chosen last time. Please do not pick animals, or ISIS prisoners, or kids, or any of the usual no go areas. Anyhow, enjoy. Or not.

The other big call: will the Cmme pick him for the Deathlist 50, and risk the site being overrun by tetchy Rangers fans?

Getting Foray on without even advocating for it in thread will be an untoppable CSDL feat for me. I'll probs leave the form guides to others and submit a list in the final week as usual.

Former Chairwoman of the DNC Donna Brazile slams HRC in her new book and claims HRC and DNC rigged the primary to prevent Joe Biden from running and to hinder Bernie Sanders' campaign. Prepare for the incoming shitstorm!

For years thought George Wendt was a heart attack waiting to happen but still going at 69. Twin Peaks Michael Ontkean not part of 2017 series due to characters ill health, rumours of retirement but apparently was interested in returning up until the last minute.

Ah, now I get it!

8 out of 10 cats also prefer whiskas.

Bacardi cartanegra dark rum from puerto rico. Although I no more like it because it is diluted water to me. I challenge you all: prove me that you aren't the walrus. I can beat you all. Ask anything. My IQ is 254 which is by far the highest one ever recorded. I am 47 % smarter than Leonardo da Vinci ever was. So are you Charon, let's Vulcan mind ment. I love you, I mean in the platonic way. I hate your body but I love your female mind. Have you ever read the story of the soul from the gnostic gospels? The ultimate truth is that we're all female lesbians. That's all folks! I am Spock. Thus spock Zarathustra. Amen! P.S. to charon: I prefer the plantanegra whiterum. No more bacardi. Any white is the gnostic light which saves you. Read Nag Hammadi

Nah, you don't want to make the Deathlist bad taste...

Phillip, yes, as he's 96 and probably in worse health than is being officially disclosed, and has been officially retired recently. Still should be quite low down though. The Queen is healthy enough to be a wasted pick though IMHO.

Form guide # 11: Javier De Perez Cuellar aka The most interesting man in the world When Javier was in middle school, his English teacher assigned an essay: "What is courage?" He received an A+ for turning in a blank page with only his name at the top.

I'd say, if this is something that has happened more than once, it'd be nice of his bodyguards/nurses to warn people in advance not to stand too close to him. Even if he himself no longer has any tact, the people around him should be familiar with his new habits and discretely intervene to protect his reputation. I wouldn't go as far to call these ladies "attention seekers" – I'm sure that they felt uneasy/humiliated when groped by papa Bush. And while his age/Parkinson's can take part of the blame for these situations, his staff could have done more to avoid these.

17 for 17 leslie Philips

Valerie Harper so we can clear out the bottom 8.

Via twitter reports, the wonderful (and terrifying) Paddy Russell is said to have died aged 89.

Shamba, the oldest gorilla at Zoo Atlanta and one of the oldest gorillas in the United States, died Friday. Zoo personnel reported that Shamba was discovered unresponsive by her care team, and the decision was made to euthanize her. She was 58. Western lowland gorillas are considered geriatric after the age of about 35, and Shamba was part of a group of super-senior gorillas. She and her female counterpart, 54-year-old Choomba, were fondly referred to as the “Golden Girls” by zoo staff. Their male companion, 56-year-old Ozzie, is the oldest living male gorilla in the world. Choomba and Ozzie are both behaving normally following the loss of their group member, according to Zoo Atlanta. SC

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tony the Tiger -- from the Tiger Truck Stop just 30 miles from my house -- is no more. RIP Tony, this really sucks. We always stopped to see Tony on the way to N'awlins or wherever the hell. Everyone did. SC

Officials at the Minnesota Zoo say Nikko, reported to be the oldest snow monkey in North America, died Sunday at what the zoo believes was age 34. A release from the zoo states Nikko was born Sept. 11, 1983. He arrived at the Minnesota Zoo in 2001. The release states the average life expectancy for male snow monkeys is 34 years. For females, the average life expectancy is 39 years. SC
