Melanie Schmuck, who co-owns a house shaped like a shoe, has walked up to heaven. I'm guessing she bought the residence from an older lady with a large herd of children after being convinced it was a step up from her then dwelling. Perhaps her surname was a foreshadow to her gullibility. https://www.ydr.com/story/news/2019/03/01/haines-shoe-house-co-owner-melanie-schmuck-has-died-route-30-york-county/3029591002/

And he fucking takes the lead already...

Death notice in the NYT for Janet Asimov, 92: widow and collaborator of Isaac, and notable writer/academic in her own right.

Big Guardian interview, nothing new though: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2019/mar/01/fernando-ricksen-rangers-netherlands-motor-neurone-disease

Nobody mentioned the death on Feb 6th of Dutch etymologist Dick Blok. Because despite being clearly a learned old gent in his field, neither would I if not for his name. Onomastics was new to me. Stay for the smut and accidentally learn something...

Harley Race has terminal lung cancer

Certainly IMDb is where I did most of my ‘research’ with some google follow up when the former failed me. Thanks!

Katherine Helmond is a hit for me here - the one I expected least!

First time I've led the Hartlepool Deadlypool since January 2012!

As Katherine Helmond heads into the Family Plot, Torva's the boss of this update... or maybe not really, since she picked Helmond dead last. 5 points plus 2 unique points for a total of 7 puts her on the scoreboard. And it's been a month since the last scoreboard were posted, so a good time for a new one... 1. msc 158 2. Lord Fellatio Nelson 153 3. gcreptile 140 4. CaptainChorizo 130 =5. drol 95.5 =5. Phantom of the Midway 95.5 =7. John Key 90 =7. theoldlady 90 9. Skinny kiltrunner 87 10. Sir Creep 70 11. Prophet 57.58 12. maryportfuncity 50 =13. Toast 45 =13.

Despite the fact IMDB still has him as living, it appears Leo G. Morrell actually died about a month before you posted this list. https://www.mylife.com/leo-morrell/e613539901026

''....a short time....'' That's hedging your bets innit. Basically the Prof has not a fucking clue as to how long it will actually take for 5 billion people to die under the current ''we are all going to die from Global warming'' mantra. Vague at best. Look at it another way, apparently, 2 births to one death is the ratio of life to death currently. That is the problem. Over population. All those smart arsed kids going on strike and protesting that the grown ups are destroying the Planet? Course they are, they are knocking out more babies than you can shake a stick at, all have to use the Planets natural resources to live. Gotta eat, have somewhere to live etc, etc. I do wonder, had there been a hand count, how many of those Yoofs would have volunteered to be sterilised/vasectomised to do their bit for the future by NOT having more kids to flood the Earth with. Not fucking many, I bet. Global warming is happening and the speed of it is being blamed on human activity only. That is based on statistical data that cannot possibly have been reliably harvested from the Planet that is over 4 BILLION years old and man, as we know it, has only been reasonably stupid on it for a piddling 200,000 years, or thereabouts. There may be a whole plethora of reasons for Global warming and, I would agree, human activity has not helped but, honestly, who the fuck do we think we are? Do we really think we are so powerful that we can control the Planets life cycle? Earth only exists at the whim of the Sun. The legend of King Canute all over again.

Anyone fancy organising that 26 in order of most to least likely to die?

Sleeper pick! In a couple weeks, Jean-Pierre 'Rumpelstiltskin" Adams will turn 71 years of age, more than half of which he's spent in a coma. SC

It's done, through some SQL magic. If you read this, Sir Creep, please pay attention to the fact that you'll need to use your new name when you log in. I see that since the software upgrade it's gotten more picky when chosing member names. The same is true for registration. What I did was change it directly in the database. It's not particularly difficult, but you need to know what you're doing and a good dose of SQL. I removed the old 'Sir Creep' account two weeks ago, to avoid a name clash when the change request would come. regards, Hein

Wash your $70 work shirt you just bought for the first time (Oh it’s ok, FRC required, I hate coveralls (free), so the $$$ cost for jeans and shirt ($130 let’s say) is expected, doesn’t mean it doesn’t sting a little).
