MODS!!!!!! Worth a 7 day lie down imo

I don't care how many people have their voices on Wiki and how many redlinks are added to Deaths on a day. Since the beginning November the Reaper has sucked. Notable deaths (people I knew existed before): November 1: Carlo Giuffré November 2: Raymond Chow (death of the month so far!) November 3: No one November 4: Jeremy Heywood November 5: Absolutely no one November 6: Bernard Landry, José Lothario, Ted Mack (average at best) November 7: No one November 8: Come one, absolutely no one died! November 9: No one... WTF is happening with Death? I think the Reaper suffered a massive heart attack after taking Aznavour and Do Muoi in the same day, while he was presumably chasing Dilip Kumar in New Dehli streets. Hope he's recovering, really....

Had you used this strategy at the end of last year, you would've gotten points for Leicester's owner!

Enjoy your holiday kid

Robert De Niro wants to know what his obituary is going to say: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2018/nov/10/robert-de-niro-i-am-very-curious-to-see-what-my-obituary-says-

Maybe that bottom pic ought to be in the snowflake thread......blacking up. Then again, maybe painting poppies on pigs will have vegans/ the animal liberation front/ pork cracking fans reaching for the valium..... Thats the best shit yet!

Please some fucker outta there die now! I can't stand one more deathless day!

I like the Bears this season. If they beat Minnesota at least once they should win the NFC North. But, I can’t see them getting far in the playoffs with the Rams and Saints. Anyway, the Bears should win tomorrow, the Lions aren’t really that good. Have Fun!!!

There was a time when a British child had never seen a fucking banana. We also managed to get through WW2 and not starve to death. I find the scaremongering and the utter fuckwombles that swallow it chapter and verse to be utterly staggering in stupidity. Lets not forget that all that imported food that we, obviously, cannot possibly live without, will be sitting there in european ports, the sellers unable to shift it here, not getting paid and nowhere else to send it. Terrible.

Won't need to worry about the deathless days thread then.

Yeah, i mean, all our supermarkets will be threadbare, no British meat, British Veg, tinned food, bugger all, infact. OMFG!!! We is all gonna starve to defff or summat!!!!!

Apparently, according to this article. Juan Gabriel is still alive and will return this December on stage... http://remezcla.com/music/juan-gabriel-joaquin-munoz-alive-rumor/ Is he still alive, thought he died back in August 2016. Nah, it can't be true.

First Utah man to die from rabies in decades, because he and his wife let bats lick their fingers and let them walk around on their bed: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6370619/Utah-man-55-bats-eat-hand-states-rabies-death-1944.html Now there's a gofundme for their funeral costs.

Just come back after 3 hours of babysitting (chasing after) 12 unruly little nightmares, the largest of whom made it his goal to rugby-tackle me to the floor with every chance he got. I have decided to save the planet by never having children.

Throughout October, western and central Illlinois were battered with snow showers. Us here in Chicagoland managed to avoid it, save for some flurries. Well, last night we got out first decent snowfall of the season. About an inch fell, most of it starting to melt away. But it looked beautiful. I'm excited for when it finally snows enough to go skiing!

We need a "phew" emoticon for when threads like this rise from the grave suddenly for innocuous reasons.

90 yesterday!

A-ha were on the 1985 list I did. Although the sun did shine on TV in 1986. I can only pick one #1 - went for the seminal Berlin song as they won't appear on any other 80s list! And before the Madonna fans come down on me...I don't like Madonna. My choice, my list.

A so-so night as a whole. Getting the House is excellent, and my state made me proud in flipping 3 seats to the Dems. Senate tanked as expected - but I guess it could've been a lot worse given how dreadful a map it was for the Dems (though Nelson losing was a surprise to me). Like Joey I'm proud of Beto's result and while it was too early for him, I think it sets a solid framework for Texas Dems in the future. Governorships were disappointing with several potential Dem pickups failing, but they at least made gains there, and seeing Kobach and Walker go down in particular was satisfying.

For all dog lovers, Dog by Harold Monro You little friend, your nose is ready; you sniff, Asking for that expected walk, (Your nostrils full of the happy rabbit-whiff) And almost talk. And so the moment becomes a moving force; Coats glide down from their pegs in the humble dark; The sticks grow live in the stride of their vagrant course. You scamper the stairs, Your body informed with the scent and the track and the mark Of stoats and weasels, moles and badgers and hares. We are going out. You know the pitch of the word, Probing the tone of thought as it comes through fog And reaches by devious means (half-smelt, half-heard) The four-legged brain of a walk-ecstatic dog. Out in the garden your head is already low. (Can you smell the rose? Ah, no.) But your limbs can draw Life from the earth through the touch of your padded paw. Now, sending a little look to us behind, Who follow slowly the track of your lovely play, You carry our bodies forward away from mind Into the light and fun of your useless day. * * * * * Thus, for your walk, we took ourselves, and went Out by the hedge and the tree to the open ground. You ran, in delightful strata of wafted scent, Over the hill without seeing the view; Beauty is smell upon primitive smell to you: To you, as to us, it is distant and rarely found. Home . . . and further joy will be surely there: Supper waiting full of the taste of bone. You throw up your nose again, and sniff, and stare For the rapture known Of the quick wild gorge of food and the still lie-down While your people talk above you in the light Of candles,and your dreams will merge and drown Into the bed-delicious hours of night.
