Though Valerie harped on far longer than anyone would've initially expected, the end of the Rhoda has finally been reached. Her morgue-in' means a stern penalty for 32 teams, and leaves drol as the only team on single digit points. 1. drol 1 2. Mercarte 12 =3. BuffaloPhil 15 =3. CaptainChorizo 15 =3. machotrouts 15 6.

I'm predicting Javier Perez de Cuellar this time around. (also whoever it is will be the 300th hit in deathlist history)

Robert Kennedy assassinator Sirhan Sirhan has been stabbed in prison

Just realised we had the 7th hit this week last year (John McCain ) and it was followed by the 8th one in less than 24 hours so hopefully history will repeat itself !

The point is the name is a misnomer. It was precisely what the DP was about. Now why even call it that? Y’all can have it. Life is short...as this website can attest to. Don’t need to continue sitting through a bad movie just cuz I paid for a ticket. Sensible person gets up and walks out and enjoys the day. Douthit was my last entry, I will delete her, and that’ll be that. SC

Well -- we await a proper Romero obit. Ugh... seriously, NYTimes, letting SirC down. Well I'll give it through Sunday and make adjustments if necess. In the meantime, a REAL celebrity has produced a number of hits. 1939 (i.e. under 80 yrd old) bonus kicks in (2 pts): Harper, Valerie (4 points) - theoldlady, DI, RadGuy, Book, Clorox Bleachman, CaptChorizo, and Toast all with hits. Valerie Harper (3 points) - msc, Sean, Joey Russ, Banana, Etushispushingupdasies, and Torva Messor with hits as well. Updating the 'scoreboard' ** JiroemonKimura - 17 msc - 17 Death Impends - 13 Book - 13 Joey Russ - 11 Banana - 11 Toast - 9 gcreptile - 9 Wormfarmer - 9 Philip - 8 Torva Messor - 8 Clorox Bleachman - 8 CaptainChorizo - 8 Sean - 7 RadGuy - 7 Etushispushingupdasies - 6 Sir Creep - 5 Skinny kiltrunner - 5 theoldlady - 4 YorkshireBanker - 4 The Old Crem - 3 Great Uncle Bulgaria - 3 DeathByArsenic - 0 Yvonne - 0 YoungWillz - 0 Bibliogryphon - 0 **Randy Romero points tbd

Valerie Harper was gonna make it to 80 after all, but not much further. Only The Unknown Man kept his patience with Harper in the HPDP, and receives 10 base points plus 12 extra (unique and Hollywood Squares) for 22 total.

Pays tribute to former co-star and 7th hit on the 2019 Deathlist, Valerie Harper.

I picked her, but she was dead last for me. Not like I had any chance of winning anyways though...

Poitier. That's him safe.

Valerie Harper a hit for me here.

That just changed... Valerie Harper gone. So out as of rights which weirdly (or perhaps not) feels slightly better than out on a late pen. GL to those remaining.

Tyler Skaggs cause of death: Choked on own vomit after consuming drugs and alcohol. https://www.cnn.com/2019/08/30/health/tyler-skaggs-autopsy-opioids-death/index.html

Okay, guys and girls.. it works this way: Each name is like a battery that loses its charge every time it is picked. The first one to pick name XYZ gets the full charge of five points. The second time the same name is picked it's worth 4 charges, then 3,2,1, and yes, theoretically you could even pick a name with no more charge, I.e. worth zero points. My pick Randy Romero is also worth zero points, because he died too early.

So @Joey Russ had Peter Fonda in Easy Rider and I had Sheila Steafel in The Dalek Invasion of Earth 2150AD. So there are now 7 players with one hit and two players with two hits. Technically until the QO arrives for Sheila then I am in the same position as @Prophet who is still waiting for Ambrose Schindler.

should be on 8 points since I earned 3 from essebi last mont

Stop dropping the girls or they'll drop you one day! Serge Gainsbourg was a master

Happy 89th birthday Sir Connery, Sean Connery
