Leo Iacocca, former president of the Ford Motor Company and chairman of Chrysler, has died. He was 94. (Cross-posted from Class of '24 thread.) https://www.tmz.com/2019/07/02/lee-iacocca-dead-dies-chrysler-ford/

Yes you are but I did a search to quote msc and you didn't.

Echoing the wise words of Quim, I put my best foot forward for 5 months (5 months!) before inevitably cunting it at the penultimate step. Bou so graciously and swiftly assisted the takedown. I would also like to thank you for sparing me the embarrassment of a 48-0 squonking in the final. Go get 'em!

As we reach the second half of the year the overall hit rate has remained low. If we do not get a hit before next Tuesday we will fall behind 2011 which is one of the worst performing recent years. There is a range of hits in the second half between 3 and 10. I am therefore thinking we will end on 9 total hits.

Looks like Christopher Booker is the first Poker Tourney casualty: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2019/07/03/journalist-christopher-booker-dies-aged-81/

Mrs msc's favourite Fr Ted episode. Also had a stroke in 2015, so between that and the pneumonia misdiagnosis lung cancer, one for everyones 2020 teams if he makes it..

So @Sir Creep gets his first Grammy Winner and his first uniquevhit. He is two hits away from winning in three different ways.

Yeah, this will do for Sid Ramin here: https://variety.com/2019/music/obituaries-people-news/sid-ramin-oscar-winning-composer-arranger-dies-at-100-1203258793/

Ramin HIT in scavenger hunt. Here comes SirC!

George Felton QO, if needed: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2019/jul/02/george-felton-obituary

Lee Iacocca has died. Now there are only 15 who remain.

A very worthy final. It seems that only deadpooling and equestrian are the only pursuits where males and females compete on equal footing (even bridge has separate events for women). Good luck to both of you, I'll watch on with interest.

Wait...did you see his fucking suit? Couldn't have been louder if it was Niki....

I'm guessing here, but could it be they need his freshly laundered hoods and sheets for a GOP meeting?

...as young as 97 is today...

Mr bladan I will push you off and drink all your bottles

Happy birthday, Dame Olivia. Keep proving these death-obsessed deadpooling wankers wrong, and may you have many more years to come.

Happy 103rd birthday Still going strong.

Damn. This website can never be satisfied. Lol

Vincent Lambert's life-support about to be turned off: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/jul/02/french-doctors-life-support-vincent-lamber-right-to-die I'm surprised the case got this huge coverage after all. DDT was ahead of his time.

Dead.

On Wednesday one of my relatives suffered a cerebral hemorrhage and is now in irrevesible coma. Only 70 too. Yesterday my mother, who is already suffering from colorectal cancer and Alzheimer's, suffered an ischemic stroke. Bad periods are bad periods.
