Just allow yourselves, everyone, to try and comprehend the mind of a person who’d put Jackie Stallone in the same fucking bracket as RBG.

This whole thread needs to be chucked in the bin.

I must say this has been a rough year for famous parents: Hutton Gibson, Arnold Spielberg, William Gates, and now Jackie. Next up Roberta McCain??

Brett kavinagh Brett kaviaugh Brett kavirog Brett kanadagh Brett kaviar Brett Kavanaugh?

You mean the bitter hate you demonstrate in your celebrating RBG’s death and using the junior school favourite term ‘loser’ to describe everyone who has a different viewpoint, the bigotry you demonstrated in your brushing off BLM simply as ‘leftist riots’ that need ‘crushing’, and the sexism you demonstrated in referring to Justice Ginsburg repeatedly as “old bat”. This place is not a political rally, you delusional, impertinent little cretin. Stop treating it as such.

Oh no, my personal DL Icon has died! It's a pity that she never really got a chance to be a part of the DL. She would have brought a lot of glamor. RIP Jackie Stallone!

Another hit! 3 already and I'm now up and running! Best crack out these stats before we get too far into game play or, who knows, we could be done by year's end! This round saw 225 picks, far more than Round 1 (192) or Round 2 (190). This is probably not surprising as we have 19 participants in R3, 4 more than Rounds 1 and 2 (15). There are 6 brand new players, while 9 have played all 3 rounds so far and 3 have returned from R2. Biblio has played the last 2 games and was obviously around for R1 but didn't play. There were 52 picks in the Eurovision category, matching the number from the Grammys category in R2 and more than any in R1. Space Flyers was the smallest category (38 picks) but this is larger than the smallest categories in R1 (Presidential elections - 22, Cricketers - 36) or R2 (EU Leaders - 29, Dallas Stars and Boxers - 34) Most popular pick this round was the indestructible Nobby Stiles (11/19 teams) - this is more than anyone on R2 (Morgan Woodward, Dallas, 8/15 teams) but equals picks of George H.W. Bush on R1 (11/15 teams), however this is a higher percentage due to less teams taking part (Lord Carrington, House of Lords - 10/15 and Lindsay Tuckett, Cricketers - 9/15 also better Nobby's pick percentage) Jimmy Carter has been a pick on all 3 games so far (Presidential Elections, Grammy Winners and Nobel Prize Winners) - I haven't done an exhaustive search but I'm not aware of anyone else who has been picked in all 3 games (although at least one other possible exists: Olivia Newton-John - #1s, Grammy Winners, Eurovision) Jim Lovell was picked in 6 teams but fellow astronaut Frank Borman was more popular, being in 9 teams - this, despite the fact that Borman is just 1 week older than Lovell! Strangely, I got a unique pick with Park Jae-Sung in the World Cup players category - he is the oldest living World Cup footballer at 97! All players bar The Old Crem (2) and Grim Up North (1) have a chance of winning by the 3 unique picks method. This includes me for the first time in this game! Toast, Death Impends, Banana, GCReptile and msc were saved on this count only once the Eurovision picks were revealed and all just qualify with 3 uniques. Most unique picks this time were Great Uncle Bulgaria and Time (14 each) followed by Yorkshire Banker (13) and Bibliogryphon (11). This is less than FujimoriNoMorey's 15 uniques last time but to date only ONE of Fujimori's 15 uniques has actually died. Rotten Ali won R1 by this method but only had 8 uniques in total, of which 4 have now died. Finally, following the death of Michael Lonsdale, this is the second time that the first 3 deaths have all come in the same category (after Test Match Cricketers in R1) but only 2 more deaths in that category occurred during game play . It is the first time we've had 3 deaths in a calendar month of game play since February 2019, when there were 4 scoring deaths - still 9 days to go in September, mind!

King The Red Death's long reign is over. Having seen off many assassins, he mysteriously drops dead after upsetting some South American gentlemen. King philheybrookbay steps up ... And hey, he keels over almost as soon as the crown touches his head. A poison arrow frog hops out of the crown's velvet lining as it rolls across the floor, startling the courtiers still further. King adrian0719 ensures the crown is cleaned and inspected thoroughly before his own coronation.

Yes, I've been a huge advocate for her inclusion on the DL. It's a shame it couldn't be implemented.

I think all the states that has potential to flip are states that are considered swingy last election, minus Colorado, Maine, New Mexico, and Virginia (pretty solid for dems at this point). Swing states being Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Maine's 2nd district, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska's 2nd district, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Wisconsin. I'd be completely stunned if any of the other states flip. If there were states that did have potential to flip out of the blue (just as hypothetical, I'm not predicting this will happen), for dem flips it would probably be Alaska and South Carolina as both were within 15% points last time. On the other hand, apart from the 4 states I removed from being competitive that were competitive last time, the republicans next best option would probably be Oregon. Again though, I'd be amazed if any of those states flipped. Ohio was never solid blue, at least on the presidential level. And unfortunately Ohio is slowly slipping away from the dems. I do think it's possible for the democrats to win this time, but come 2024 or 2028 that might not be the case anymore. And Republicans are definitely the favorite to win Ohio. You could probably compare Ohio to Delaware and Missouri (in the past those two were considered bellwhether states, but eventually slipped into the democratic and republican leans they have today). State level can be quite important. If you control the state house, senate and the governorship, more stuff is able to pass on a state level. On the other hand, a more divided house means gridlock is likely. I would definitely take the state races seriously like the federal elections. And as for Alabama, do I think it's possible for Doug Jones to win? Sure, I wouldn't completely write it off. But the chances of him winning are really marginal and him winning would be such an underdog story. Thing is, Alabama is on the back end of Republican leaning states (that is Alabama votes for Republicans by a larger margin than states typically characterized as ruby red like Kansas or Mississippi), and with how partisan the country has become, Jones would really have to outrun Trump's margin by a huge amount if he wants any chance of winning. And Jones only made the senate cause he was up against a fucking pedophile. And he won by only a point. I think Jones winning Alabama is probably more likely than the dems beating Mitch in Kentucky, but that isn't really saying much at all. Tuberville is the massive favorite to win that senate race and there's no way to go around that.

Much less than a few years! https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-8758381/Sylvester-Stallones-mother-Jackie-passes-away-age-98.html

Thanks guys. Updated (can’t quote as on my phone). The 60s has taken a huge thrashing this year.

As if the average American cares about Jimmy Carter. Laughable

Gut feeling next big death is a sporting one so went with Nobby

It's like Game of Thrones, this!

May be a week or two before an update,having some comp issues right now.

I follow Jackie Stallone on Instagram (yes, I'm really that sad). She posts content quite regularly, including videos of her working out at her home gym. I know she survived a heart attack a few years ago but I'd say she maybe has a few years left in her yet. Let's not fall into the trap of just sticking people on the DL because they're old. Made that mistake too many times up until now.

Fuck me, who cares? Having babies happens all the time. Apologies to Gooseberry Crumble and his thread. Maybe it's just me, however sleb anything other than them carking it, I just don't give a shit. I could try to justify that by saying all peoples children are important, why should we highlight slebs kids? But really? This just gets on my tits, IDGAF. Sorry.
