There's no getting better from being dead.....

Yeah, but in 2017 at this point, we’re only at 3 total deaths. The majority of the deaths that helped them break the record didn’t come till August and September, and none of them were truly shocking especially because they died so close to each other. Death doesn’t have a pattern, so saying that you think you found one is incorrect. Eventually there will be a break to the pattern, whether it’s a month with no deaths or a month with many more. There’s a good amount of strong picks that can help break the record as well. Of course, I’m not saying the record will be broken, but if it happens again, it wouldn’t be too surprising...

Maybe some smart arse with nothing better to do will inform me that there is a thread already out there that covers this but, naturally, I couldn't give a monkeys. So, here is the thing, who really got your admiration for living life to the full, who drank, smoked, shagged and cared not for public opinion as they went their own way? Who would have laughed had they known they were potential DL fodder? As an example, my particular hero was Keith Floyd. Now I detest cooking, I would rather cut my cock of than watch cookery shows BUT, where Floyd was concerned, the vision of this semi dishevelled man throwing the kitchen sink into fucking great pots, no measuring out for him but still making brilliant food, while half cut, bottle of red at hand to neck down and pour into the pot, narrating his way around Vietnam or somewhere and actually MAKING IT INTERESTING made him THE man for me. Now, ok, he got into trouble a bit, ex wives, accusations and all that but this guy ploughed on into the inevitable oblivion of death. Nowdays, wishy washy wankers, reality TV, and assorted celebrity tossers like Torode and Wallace are the epitome of dumbed down celebdom. Where have all the rogues gone?

Oh yeah, it's me! Thanks.

But last year (or any other year) has no bearing on the results for this year. It is down to the names selected, nothing else.

Yep I reckon if we have one death per month then we might just about reach 12 some time in December - it is difficult to fault your logic (even though it is a comment worthy of a 4 year old).

They do what they're paid to do....

Of course I miss the crucial word. Typical. That’s what you get for not drinking coffee today...

Yeah I absolutely agree, we can't now if there won't be a month with 3-4 or even 5 deaths, as the september-december period of last year. Of course there is good picks ! but this is just a feeling, I think that after the record of next year, it will be difficult to have a good score this year…

A fair point and one not covered in the rules so let's remedy this: 1 - Conjoined twins tend to take each other rapidly out when one dies - but if you're picking two it's local time of death for the SECOND one. 2 - The prize stays the same (though feel free to argue the toss about FOUR pints/ TWO double spirits if we ever meet at a DLCon)

Well those motorway flyovers don’t just stand by themselves.....

Blankenship a distant third in his primary with half the vote in; Cocaine Mitch can sleep easy. Probably will be Morrisey who wins the nomination. In other news, it's looking quite possible that North Carolina Representative Robert Pittenger will be successfully primaried by far-right candidate Mark Harris. Harris has a narrow edge with most of the vote in. EDIT: Harris's lead increasing with 4 precints left, so yeah, his primary attempt was successful.

Not really. Trumps health isn't in doubt. He wrote the doctors line himself.

Hmm - there's probably a few bits of idle chat to be enjoyed with regard to motor sports injuries and deaths occurring after the dangerous days of competition or dangerous racing hours are done. The first ever (1950) world champion in F1 - Giuseppe Farina - died crashing his Lotus Cortina on his way to watch the 1966 Belgian Grand Prix. He was still - sort of - driving F1 cars because he was driving Ferraris as the driving double for Yves Montandt in the movie Grand Prix which was being filmed around then.

As the Deathlist Cup is the premier tournament, my biggest regret was not picking Earl Hagaman. Cost me a age-tie-breaking with against Death Impends in the Semi Final. Hagaman was a Kiwi and was going through a high profile court case against the Head of the Opposition at the time. Absolutely stupid, glaring miss and it cost me. It cost me. Ah, the thrill of the Cup!

Yeah... Something like "I don't want Trump at my funeral either".....

Oh quit complaining. You didn’t get your first hit against me till closer to the middle of the month, and you triumphed over me in the end. The match is young you know...

Does the job for the DDT, will this lead to Deadsox doing the job in the Semifinal? Dead Cow v Sir Creep 4-0 DDT v Deadsox 4-0

Fucking state of that.

Let's look at the positives . 1) She now has one large nostril and can inhale more air. 2) Her nose doubles as a vacuum cleaner.

So 10 days to go before......365 days to go!
