The 42nd Vice President of the United States Walter Mondale celebrates his 92nd birthday today and is certainly a contender in future years for consideration for the deathlist .

Freddie Mercury is the biggest musical death of the 90s, Kurt ain't even the biggest death of 1994.

Of all that's holy, that was BAD. So bad, it was actually hilarious. I've never heard so many stifled laughs as coughs in a cinema ever. I looked at best mate after 15 mins and said "did you lace that ciggie before we came". Its like you've taken something which normally is illegal, but you've not certain if you've taken something stronger. The CGI is patchy at best at worst unbelievable. You'll need to suspend the fact the last time you saw Jason Durelo was half naked on a bed singing "it's too hot to sleep", as now you'll remember him for licking milk off a bar Why are they all horny? Every scene is sexual. The director (a loose term!) clearly told Jennifer Hudson to "act up lovie" to the point over acting. And as for Judi Dench and Ian Mckellen?? Ian Mckellen drinking milk from bowl and hissing is now engraved on my brain. And not in a good way. Judi Dench in a cat basket If you want a laugh go and see Cats. Best £7 entertainment in years!

So basically, you mention shagging and Gooseberry will remember your post for years... Anyhow, I stand by my views expressed in 2016 when the whole Joey identity joke first turned up. If he were Zorders, then Zorders have chilled the fuck out considerably...

Nice to know. I’ll have to look it up.

I have no idea what you’re talking about but I’m willing to let people think that?

June Bacon-Bercey, the first American female TV meteorologist, died last July but is only now being reported. She was 90 according to the link below, though Wikipedia indicates she would've been 86. I guess it took a long-term forecast to find where she went off the radar. https://www.accuweather.com/en/weather-news/june-bacon-bercey-americas-1st-female-tv-meteorologist-dies-at-90/655500

Seen as everybody calls me Deathray (or Deathers) anyway..... I'd like to request it back....

INVERSE DEAD POOL 2020 Another new year arrives, and with that comes another round of reckoning the lingering prowess of the DDP's most popular selections. Of the 16 expiries throughout 2019, drol only selected 3 and notched his second win in the process. Rules From the list of the 50 most popular DDP picks of 2020, pick a team of 25 names who you think will survive the year. Rank your list in order of least likely to die to most likely to die. Post your team in this thread. If someone dies and they are listed on your team, then you will receive points according to their position. If your #1 pick dies you'll receive 25 points, whilst if your #25 pick dies you'll receive 1 point. If someone dies and they are not on your list, then you receive no points. In case one of the names available for entry dies before the submission deadline, you are allowed to have one sub. The sub can be anyone from the top 50 or the 51st most popular name, who will be revealed alongside the top 50. The 51st name can not be part of the original 25 if no one dies. In the case of one of your original team dying pre-deadline, the sub goes into 25th place by default, but if the sub was previously the 51st, you are allowed to change the position of the new pick. If the above scenario happens, you are also allowed to name a new sub and I will reveal the 52nd most popular name. Whoever has the lowest score at the end of the year is the winner. If two or more teams are tied at the end of the year, the tie will first be decided by who has less hits. If they have an equal amount of hits, then whoever among the teams died latest in the year, and thus came closest to being a correct prediction, will decide the winner. If said name was on multiple teams in the tie, whoever had said name lowest will win. If multiple teams had said name in the same position, the second most recently-deceased name will be referred to, and so on, until a winner is found. If, by some alignment of the stars, the tie is of either no hits or of all of the exact same hits in the exact same positions, all teams in the tie share victory. Credit to Toast for inadvertently coming up with a peach of a topic description, and of course, credit to Spade for creating this wonderful game. Credit to Dead Cow for his job as previous host, laying the framework for the Inverse Dead Pool's OP, and the idea for a "dies during entry period" rule. Credit to machotrouts for the suggestion of the latest hits factoring into tiebreakers.

I do want to make clear that I won’t be accepting any teams for the cup until after I submit my team to a trusted person on the 20th (that is, if I don’t get a bye). Once the 20th comes, you’re all welcome to submit though.

Nah as you said yourself Toast actually foresaw what a fucking stupid, barrel-scraper inducing idea of a competition this piece of shit was and how it would encourage to pick their next door neighbour with fucking cancer and vegetables about to be fucking stabbed. Even it's 'fame' requiremets ae something of a fucking joke you cunt.

Latter is correct.

Yeah, I can be a bit of a smartass/smartarse at times (aren’t we all), but not to worry. Generally I’m quite friendly, and I do help with a couple of dead pools as of now...

Videos on Facebook described as ‘satisfying’. They normally feature cunts cutting through sand and recording the sound or things that pretty much do what they’re supposed to. Clearly I’m not satisfied.

This is how you Deathlist. While at work.

DDP latest (in terms of being open and try and stop the annual "whens the update? Its 3rd January already!" moaners): Grim has been going through all the new celebrities added in 2020. There was 300 on the database from the pre-Christmas period, and another 620 to process of which 154 were dealt with today. This includes checking to see if they are actually alive first - more difficult than it looks for some of the obscure sods chosen! Once added to the big excel thing, me and Reptile have been going through that and actually adding the information to each name. Gender, DOB, are they alive, descriptions, etc, that sort of thing. Again, some folk (Jim Steinman) are easier to cover than others (some random Princess of no place, Europe...). Work is moving steadily onwards.

But surely the Republicans would not approve of a new Justice in the last year of a presidential term...surely it’s a matter for the potential new President...

Seems legit.

You can't call him a racist. He's 96 which means its just old peoples talk. Although I can't really use that to explain the first 80 years...
