Quick update to correct for a small Doris Day mistake: New hits: Quentin Pongia, Herman Wouk Bobby Joe Maxwell is a non-obit, almost certainly. No changes in the other non-obits. Also, I forgot to mention another non-obit that happened a couple of weeks ago: Bishop Francis Quinn. That's a ton of non-obits... DDT has both good news (Pongia moves him into 4th) and bad news (Donbavand non-obit) - new scoreboard: 1 Death Impends 769 2 GCReptile 725 3 Cpt Chorizo 678 4 Devon Death Trip 672 5 Phantom of the Midway 657 6 msc 623 7 Banana 621 8 Joey Russ 620 9 Clorox Bleachman 610 10 drol 571 11 Sir Creep 511 12 Skinny Kiltrunner 482 13 Grim Up North 367 14 YoungWillz 297 15 Yorkshire Banker 230 16 Prophet 186 17 markb4 172 18 theoldlady 134 18 Gooseberry Crumble 134 20 Book 129 21 The mad hatter 117 21 Fixed Business 117 23 John Key 108 24 Deathray 95 25 The old crem 93 26 Pedro 67 90 27 Grave Danger 85 28 The Unknown Man 48 29 The Quim Reaper 33 30 Bibliogryphon 0

I was blessed with a 9 inch penis. That priest is in jail now.

No, lost my eyesight recently. Way to be insensitive about it.

Called it.

Clearly the committee think that they know something that no one else knows - Herman Wouk is alive and well residing in the Death List offices. Either that or the committee have left earth on a trip to the far distant reaches of a black hole.

Gout dancing does sound rather painful.

He does look well. No appearance as Far as I can see of the Duchess of Kent (the Bride's aunt.). Perhaps someone for the committee to take notice off.

I have no fucking idea who these people are, nor do I recall entering this deathpool.

Iceland were robbed, frankly. If any act should've won Eurovision, it's their excellent conveyance of hatred.

Don't you have eyes?

was it him

Was watching a 2010 documentary on India's surprise 1983 Cricket World Cup victory earlier this week. It's quite surprising as Dickie Bird looks and sounds awful and I would have given you very long odds he'd still be alive 9 years later based on that. Conversely, Martin Crowe looks about the youngest and healthiest of all those interviewed. Just watching today's One Day International coverage today and the stadium camera zooms onto Dickie Bird looking far better than he did ten years ago and if not a picture of health, at least not at all bad for someone in their late 80s. The Reaper moves in very mysterious ways.

Bill Hayes, another of the few surviving veterans from Pearl Harbor, has died. He was 100. https://www.mysanantonio.com/news/local/article/One-of-the-few-remaining-Pearl-Harbor-veterans-13850979.php

This is a job for the oompah loompahs! They need to get him to the juicing machine pronto, they saved Violet Beauregarde, they can save him!!!

Rudolph’s backup nose A replacement for the sun once it dies out (seems to be he’ll be around that long) When he finally croaks, his heart will be used to supply water pressure to the entirety of Africa

He was the longest serving labour prime minister pretty sure lot of British people had heard of him

I have to say even though I really didn't like the German entry, I almost inhaled my coffee when they got zero from the public. Also, has Europe gone somewhere with their music I haven't heard about? Slovenia's incestuous bro/sis combo, Iceland and others BDSM look, bald old fella down the disco, etc? And a woman singing opera from a swinging pole can't win? Pays-Bas - I mean it still left me cold, the message was trite and showed no exceptional difference. I'm old enough to remember Ding-A-Dong, which was that year a deserved winner. Bookies' hook up with Russian bots and Chinese gambling dens?

Germany getting zero points from the public, yet yielding last place to the very deserving United Kingdom was a perfect outcome, all things considered.

On the night I still think Australia smashed it. Italy's live performance certainly appealed even more than my original watch. Feel for Sweden and Switzerland though, was thoroughly talent heavy at the end. North Macedonia? Yikes, professional musos liked that? I'm kind of happy that Czech Republic did well for the second year in a row, but I maintain their song was as dated as fuck. As for the UK, someone needs a shake. We'd have done better with the song that came second in the national selection. If Australia and Ireland can't bring themselves to like our song enough to give us a point, we are doing something wrong. I'll say it again - Mike Batt + Wombles = winner.

I think I preferred Norway in a fairly even field. I was glad to see the jury's rejection of their song being ..rejected... by the public. An interesting new procedure.

Madonna is murdering her songs on the Eurovision right now, though I suppose that is not the kind of death we are suppose to be talking about on the death list

Will Alan Brazil beat them all? Hadn't taken him seriously until I saw the nearby thread He could combust at any second, surely

Unfortunate word order there.

The death of Bob Hawke takes my team Pity Da Foolz back into the Top 20. Previously in this forum I said that he was the pick I would change given the chance as he didn't make the Drop 40. Funnily enough, of my 4 picks who were not either Drop 40 or unique, 3 out of 4 of them have died (Hawke, Fatima Ali, Andrew McGahan), leaving only Fernando Ricksen. Looking around the teams I can see I am long odds of repeating last year's win. I feel like DDP's version of Leicester City. Go the Foxes.
