One of the most famous and popular congressman, John Lewis, has been diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. He is also a civil rights icon in America. I believe he is deserving to be on the list next year.

Ok since I've now finished the annual ritual of doing the 'throrough check' and hurling abuse at the PM entries (with the exception of a couple of entries from last night/this morning) I turn my attention to the the public teams in this thread. @markb4 no WC/Joker nominated. Ruthie Thompson gains the crown by default. You can amend this up to 11.59pm tomorrow night. No FFBI disqualifications or queries. @Joey Russ Your team is fine, no queries or FFBI disqualifications @The Quim Reaper Your team is fine, no queries or FFBI disqualifications @msc As already discussed with you, William Frankland occupies your joker spot by default. No FFBI disqualifications or queries. @The Unknown Man Your team is fine, no queries or FFBI disualifications @Prophet no WC/Joker nominated as such Alex Trebek automatically takes the Joker spot. You can amend this up to 11.59pm tomorrow night 2 Queries = Ruth Thompson = Ruthie Thompson the 108 year old Disney animator not Ruth Thompson the civil servant who kicked the bucket in 2016 and would bring Norman Lloyd off you bench? Norman Gear, the writer, died in 2015 - i assume we're looking at a typo for the rather more famous Norman Lear here and have entered your team into the mastelist accordingly More of these to follow, so don't think you've been let off the hook yet ..... Also. I've just cleared a shit-tonne of space in my inbox from old PMs so the usual cacophony of 'I can't PM yous should be averted '

Sheesh. Full stop removed.

No point in having a 2020 thread now, so please put your possibilities up so we can study, discuss and ignore your picks.

Anyone who selects The Clone Wars needs a lobotomy..... EDIT: To clarify anyone who watches The Clone Wars needs a lobotomy too. It does not belong in a Star Wars marathon (I've walked out of an Star Wars marathon after someone informed me Clone Wars was up next...... just why...... can only assume it was designed as a break )

Never knowingly undersold.

Hmm, let me see. UK based deathlist picks John Lewis. 90 percent of the UK goes "Daft idiots, picking a department store to die!" Sadly, it's a fact....he isn't deathlisty for UK-ers. I appreciate the US side of the argument, take it to a US deathlist. (Whaur's my Union Flag to wave? )

Alas, you only have until the end of tomorrow if you want to ebter.

Allright folks, I have submitted all my teams: - DDP teams 1,2,3 - Deathrace - Death By Numbers (duh) - Hare's Deadpool - Alt Obits (all accepted now) - Guess the Committee / Crowdsourced - Hartlepool Deadlypool I will now start with the Excel table, and the masterlist for this year, beginning with the publicly posted teams. I hope to get as much work as possible done with this pool,before the DDP work starts.

Ah man. Biggest shame is that he didn't live long enough to dance on Eric Idle's grave.

Roey motherhumping Juss. 9,000 posts in 3 and a half years? Go out and find some gash/cock my son. But congratulations anyway geezer. And well done. If I may be so arrogant for one brief moment as to play a judge on post quality (i know, rich from me right), you've gone skyrocketing this year. And the work you do on dead pools, it doesn't go unnoticed. EDIT: This took a while to type out because all the letters are moving about for some reason so excuse if this doesn't make sense.

He might like that, though.

Max Von Sydow is 100 % a deathlist worthy name.

Yes, I mean Ruthie Thompson the disney animator and Norman Lear. Alex Trebek as my Joker is fine also. Thanks.

Going this afternoon to see Rise of Skywalker I canny wait I will decide the best film after I have been to the cinema

Who pissed in your cornflakes..... You've always been allowed to submit three teams of any variance.....

I voted for Episode V for 1st place. Second place for me is Rouge One. Third place is Episode VI.

Also, some black dude met him today. Another full decade for Mr. Carter.

Team sent.

Seems logical.

First time I entered the DDP, I had journalist Sue Carroll set as my joker. I was secretly checking the news on my phone at the family Boxing Day dinner at grans when I saw that she'd died, and let out an involuntary "FUCKING DAMN IT!" in front of everyone. Managed to cover it by pretending I'd hit my knee against the table!

So far, I've sung Purple Rain and Darling Nikki on a karaoke stage.
