Here’s something a happy thing for this thread for a change: My grandparents (the ones that I stay at on my vacation) owned a dog for six years. Neither of them really want him, so our family is now getting him. His name is Scamp, and he’s a very lovely dog. Here’s a picture of him (and yes, that is my hand petting him).

An Englishman goes on his honeymoon with his wife in France. On the first night they were there the concierge notices the man leave the hotel late in the evening with all his fishing gear. He thinks to himself, "this is very strange behaviour for a man on his honeymoon." The next night the man leaves the hotel at the same time and again the concierge notices this and thinks it is very strange. The next night it happens again so the concierge decides to go and talk to the man. "Excusez-moi monsieur, but you are on your honeymoon with your new wife ne c'est pas?" "Yes, that's right" "Well, monsieur, it izz far from me to tell you how to live your life, ahh but it is customary for a man on his honeymoon to spend ze evening making love to his wife" "I'm afraid that is impossible because she suffers from terrible herpes." "Oh monsieur. monsieur I am so sorry to hear this. But monsieur, you have heard of such a thing as oral sex?" "I'm afraid that is out of the question as well as she suffers from terrible gingivitis." "Oh monsieur, monsieur, monsieur, this is terrible," says the concierge. But he thinks, in for a penny in for a pound. "Well have you ever tried ze anal sex?" "Can't she has haemmorrhoids." "Oh monsieur, monsieur, monsieur, monsieur. I am so sorry to hear of all zis. But if you permit me one question. Why would a man such as yourself marry a woman, so .......afflicted?" "Well, she has worms as well and it is the best damn bait I've ever used!"

You have 6 fingers on each hand?

I still see Derek Martin regularly as he shop's at the supermarket by our workplace. He's doing alright, looks the same and drives and walks fine by himself. He's retired from acting.

Whore. You, not her. Did you not read Spade's post? Of course you did. But you confirm the whoring of the teeny-bop crowd here. Thanks for making me right as rain.

I've seen threads being started about someone who is dead already (or someone who is nearly dead, Tom Petty comes to mind). Please don't do that.

Hi-fived a cyclist tonight He said "fuck off I'm turning left!"

Well one did lay on a slab and say 'fillet'.

Bobbie Gentry is a country singer who’s best known song is Ode To Billie Joe. Hasn’t have a lot of info recently, but I felt like she needed a thread anyways...

For a mail article that's quite interesting, although we might need to change the tag-line to "won't answer questions about how many women he's actually shagged".

James Chaney, Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner were all killed by the Ku Kunts Klan on this day 54 years ago, aged 21, 20 and 24. The one on the right is genuinely Michael Schwerner, and not Antony Costa with bum fluff.

I’m sorry. I just felt like that person today. (Now here comes all the criticism from many members that give criticism on about a monthly basis)...

I’m so sorry. I had to be that person.

Family barred from seeing him, he's getting the Jose Jose treatment.

No. First: Section II, Article 1, Clause 5 of the the United States Constitution: No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States. Second: 8 United States Code § 1401(g): The following shall be nationals and citizens of the United States at birth...a person born outside the geographical limits of the United States and its outlying possessions of parents one of whom is an alien, and the other a citizen of the United States who, prior to the birth of such person, was physically present in the United States or its outlying possessions for a period or periods totaling not less than five years, at least two of which were after attaining the age of fourteen years Ted Cruz is not a naturalized American citizen. He is the child of an American citizen mother and therefore was born with American citizenship. Tammy Duckworth is the child of an American father. It doesn't matter where they were born - one American citizen parent who meets the very basic and brief residency requirements begets an American citizen unless the child renounces at 18. The currently accepted definition of "natural born" does not include naturalized citizens. The question will most likely have to be decided by Congress as it is a political question, not truly a legal one, and may require amending the Constitution, according to some scholars such as Tokaji of the Michigan Law Review. The conflict over the phrase "natural born" stems from changes between the Naturalization Acts of 1790 and 1795. This Wikipedia article is actually pretty good and has excellent sourcing if one has an urge to waste an afternoon discoursing on American citizenship, how to be born with it, how to get it, how to lose or relinquish it, and what everyone has to say about it. It is worth mentioning that when citizenship has been thrown around it has been to disqualify someone politically, not to resolve any questions of citizenship or to settle case law. Outside of the presidential question, it's also been used to marginalize on the basis of race. It's a nasty weapon used primarily to subjugate and proclaim superiority.

How about a rule that if a new thread doesn't get a minimum of x replies (that are on-topic) within y months, it gets deleted? But to be fair, unless you're close to exceeding the website's bandwidth limit, I think there should be a leniency in terms of what is thread-worthy and what's not.

I know it when I see it.

I've got no problem with any new threads at all, providing they aren't duplicates - for example I think Gerry Adams had at least three at some point before I merged them all. I suppose graphic porn, gore or absolutely anything by Zorders remains completely off limits, but otherwise members should just do what they feel they have to do. If the thread isn't popular it will fade into obscurity, possibly after Sir Creep has hurled some abuse at the OP, and if the thread is good it will provoke discussion, which is always a good thing. I do have sympathy for everybody's different views on this, but it is impossible to please everyone and I happen to think the completely slack style of moderating here on Deathlist is one of the things that makes this forum a bit special.

I really hope it's true. I've a bet on..

I prefer the "Drake ordered his assassination" conspiracy.

Jahseh Dwayne Onfroy or as he was known XXXTentacion, died aged 20, real name scores 32 omitting the middle name, stage name 35.

I note that a late obit for Jerry Maren came in early June. His date of death is listed as May 24, a month in which our leader, Sean, had him at the 4 pt slot. I was about to award him retroactive points, but further investigation uncovered a violation of the consecutive months rule, as he had Jerry Maren in his 5 pt slot for April. So Sean stays put at 18 pts. Nice try, Sean!

To put it in the profound words of Frankie Boyle, she's now so old her pussy is haunted. To put it in the profound words of Quim, though, I'd gladly be her exorcist #FitAsFuck

Watch the first minute. Richard Nixon: To this day, the only man to make Barbara Walters shut up! For that, he's my favorite president.
