Happy 92nd birthday to a DeathList favourite who has surely earned his own thread by now.

From the BBC. Proof that all this supposed space travel is a con. A quote from a cosmonaut on his way to the non existent International Space Station: "It's a strange time to be travelling, but crew member Ivanishin said where they were going was the "safest place on earth" right now. "

In this holy week it has to be the Vatican Rag:

We Will All Go Together is perhaps a bit cliched to post (although I do love it), so here's his other great. Who hasn't got funny looks from passersby when inadvertently singing it in public? Needless to say, legend who will one day be a DL hit presumably, but hopefully not anytime soon.

World's oldest Covid-19 survivor- she seems to made of strong stuff.

or is it the calm before the storm ?

On a separate note, there has been a distinct lack of notable names who have died from COVID-19 in the last 48 hours (bar John Prine, but we already knew he was very sick). Have the notable deaths from the virus peaked?

Ellen DeGenerate upsetting people by comparing lockdown in her $27 million mansion to being in prison. A Boomer, she turned 62 in January. Oh where’s instant karma when you need it?

That has given me the right fuckin 'orn!!!

Yes, but he left us all alone and didn't show up for ages. So we took over! And yeah, I only will take part up to the end of the year. But maybe other players will stay - so welcome @Yvonne

A bit of coronabollocks here. https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/doctor-warns-not-wear-gloves-21819786 I've been putting on vinyl gloves when I go into a supermarket. I don't touch my face or my phone while I'm in there. I take the gloves off as soon as I leave the shop and put them in a bin. I use hand sanitiser before getting into the car, and I wash my hands as soon as I get into my house. Seems like effective precautions to me. Do people really behave like he describes?

I'm going with this tbh

That's not what women mean by "manflu".

Thank you @Wormfarmer and @The Quim Reaper ! I enjoyed playing your Inverse Survivor Dead Pool 1 in 2018-2019. This surprisingly gives me two wins last year. I am indeed honoured to be in such an illustrious group of players. @msc

"One of us is ugly, one of us is cute One of us I'd like to see, in her birthday suit"

I'm retired so work isn't an issue. We have all we need so my wife and I are staying away from people (including a daughter and two grandsons which sucks). Besides watching more TV, I've increased my physical activity (yoga, long woods walks, kayaking, fishing, strength work and soon turkey hunting). I have tremendous respect and admiration for all those on the front lines but my duty (stay the f*** home) has been easy.

Paul Lambert, known as Gobby, a BBC producer who went on to work for UKIP, has died aged 61. He was profiled by various outlets (The Guardian, The Independent, The Times, ITV) and should certainly obit. Edit: BBC, Daily Mail, The Sun obituaries.

June 21 (2020) I'm an incurable optimist.

If the point of this thread is not to post covid deaths, What is it then ? Oh I know ! We should create topics for every person Who dies from it just to say they are dead ! This way you won’t have to freak out, there won’t be any entries here.

Maybe he died because he was being treated by a quack doctor !

Thanks for catching that Quim, I was just going through this list and wanted to give a shoutout to theoldlady for that one, since it was a year and a half of effort and she withstood 17 strong players including yourself, Capn Cho, Joey Russ, Clorox, msc, Sir Creep, GUN, Skinny Kiltrunner and many others for that title.

How could you not find room for Dr. Sue Johanson

Last time I checked, The Wizard of Oz has only two known living cast members. Jerry Maren (the green Lollipop Guild member; born 1920) and Caren Marsh Doll (dancing stand-in for Judy Garland; born 1919).
