Roseanne Boyland who was among the 5 people that died during the failed coup last Wednesday. Boyland was trampled to death. She was holding a "Don't Tread On Me" flag.

*sigh* The death of a true Tetris legend ! I cried over many years watching him drop some blocks ! I am crying more than ever tonight ! R.I.P you genius !! The Coffin’s approach to an obituary.

This seems appropriate to post here following Bemused’s concern about a lack of reply to Finale’s post about fake accounts.

Russian physicist Isaak Markovich Khaltnikov died at 101 years: https://www.urdupoint.com/en/world/prominent-physicist-khalatnikov-involved-in-1136277.html

Jonas Neubauer, 7-time world classic-Tetris champion, has died following a "sudden medical emergency", aged 38. Posted mainly so that you can all imagine the coffin's approach along the conveyor to the cremator.

That is the difference between an immortal wannabe like Tommy Lasorda, and a real one.

Funny but Snow White surely?

Royal Ballet dancer Clementina Bentine (nee Stuart) died 9 December 2020 aged 93: http://announcements.telegraph.co.uk/deaths/246729/bentine Oh, and the widow of the late goon, Michael Bentine.

I really hope that one of the main channels has the gumption to carry on with the 7-Up series until there's nobody left either willing/able to particpate or alive. It's a huge achievement in TV, another British classic from the days of visonary programming where content and idealism were considered ideal for prime time audiences - who were not treated like dribbling cretins.

You're still sore cause you didn't get the mail (nor did I come to that) . I've said it multiple times, I'd like deathers back. And if what TQR suggests is possible on this software, sure, I'm voting for that too. All I'm saying above is that I've been a mod elsewhere (no, I didn't have a scooter with 50 mirrors on it), and it's all too easy to have a go at them for doing what can occasionally be a difficult and frustrating (oh, and thankless) job. Approached as the three of us have? Not so bad, but not all are as enlightened nor as overwhelmingly intelligent, suave, sophisticated and downright wonderful as this present exalted company.

I wouldn’t! My understanding is that the porn (yes, and the breach of trust, I get it) was the problem. So just remove his ability to attach files and it can’t happen again. And if that won’t do, there’s mod preview. Can’t be more effort than having to ban several new aliases a week, can it? Hell, I’d be willing to fucking do it myself. Look, I do respect the mods and understand their position on this but, as far as I can see, virtually none of us (I’m willing to be corrected if I’m wrong) would be annoyed/upset by his return. Sometimes you’ve just got to look at what’s been allowed to stay to wonder why it’s worth going to all this effort to keep one mostly entertaining mischief-maker out.

@Sir Creep and @Bentrovato when the covid death toll rises

I have enjoyed taking part in a number of dead pools this year, and would like to give back a bit more next year. I'm not talented enough to come up with a brand new idea for a pool that I could run, but there is the low hanging fruit of simply sponsoring a team on the Doug Stanhope Celebrity Death Pool site. I would be willing to put up the registration fee if there is enough interest. Some of you are no doubt familiar with this site, but for those who are not, it's a site where you register your own pool (funeral home) and invite whoever you want (mourners) to participate. The nuts and bolts of it is that you choose 20 celebrities. There are no QOs as such, but rather the celebrity you choose has to be in their database, which you will find is both somewhat American-centric and also sets the bar a bit higher than your average pool as far as celebrity needs to go. Some of your more obscure, especially non-American, celebrities won't be in the database. You can request they be added, but my experience is that they usually get shot down. Regardless, the formula for points is 100-age, with bonuses for pool uniques, site-wide uniques, and various other factors ( ie. suicide, overdose, birthday, airplane crash) each with their own cute title. You are allowed one trade per month, on the 15th, but you can't choose someone who has already been taken in your pool. This pool is how I started out with deadpools, and I take part in about 10 pools. There are other pools you can join if you wish and they have open entry, even some paid pools so you can make a couple of bucks. Pretty sure if we put a pool together, it would vie for the top pool in the site. So tell you what, if you are interested, like this post. If it looks like we can put together 15-20 people, I will register a funeral home for us and send out the invites to those interested. In the meantime, if you are interested, check out the site (dscdp.com) and register a profile. Maybe to keep it simple for invites and competition sake, use your alias on this site, or at least something recognizably similar. If we decide to give it a go, I'm open to suggestions for funeral home names.

The problem is not many of them can actually read.

Why is this thread only for the drunk, bored or physcopaths? What about the high, bendered, spaced, k-holed, or coked up? I feel like whoever made the title of this thread is very discriminatory against those who prefer non-alcoholic thrills!

Well done to Mary, and I'm delighted to have led the table at some point as I'm usually nowhere in contention. I tend to select diverse candidates with some who aren't on my other DP teams to spread the interest, rather than going for certainties. It's not a recipe for success

The salesman said, "This sofa will seat five people without any problems." "Fuck that," I thought, "where am I supposed to find five people without any problems."
