Susan Bayh and Leon Spinks scored either 3 or 4 points for a fair number of teams, but only two -- The Old Lady and CaptainChorizo -- had them both. Bayh was a hit for Joe Moneypenny, the last team to get off the blocks. George Shultz was a solo hit for Yvonne, who is now in 6th place. Karen Lewis helped keep the top two teams at the top, with both Banana and HDS scoring points for the Chicagoan.

Thanks Ulitzer95 Hit for @drol, @Kenny, @arghton, @Death Impends and @Salmon Mousse CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Always thought he was a twat. I was like 12 when Viva La Bam came out and even back then I just thought he was a total idiot. Still I feel a bit sorry for him... I know it’s a cliche and an easy thing to do but I blame his parents. From watching that show and Jackass his mum and dad were a bit too liberal and carefree with him. Didn’t once impose any consequences on him for his behaviour. No guidance. Phil and April Margera were more like his roommates and buddies. And Don Vito... LOL. Well nuff said. Bad family.

Good luck to you all. Book 13 Feb J0neseur0 14 Feb Redrumours 17 Feb Therewillbedeaths 7 18 Feb Gcreptile 19 Feb HDS 21 Feb Great Uncle Bulgaria 1 March Salmon Mousse 3 March Sir Creep 4 April

Mathematician Isadore Singer (wiki) has died aged 96 according to the MIT Mathematics home page. A unique pick in last year's DDP. Be interesting to see if he obits!

Someone who, historically, would have qualified for this: Sam Bass, the 19th century outlaw. Died in a gunfight with Texas Rangers on his 27th birthday in 1878.

A Guardian article notified me that Yuri Averbakh celebrated his 99th birthday last week, and could become the first centenarian grandmaster: https://ruchess.ru/en/news/all/yuri_averbakh_celebrates_his_99th_birthday/ https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2021/feb/12/magnus-carlsen-survives-disgusting-blunders-against-daniil-dubov

Bakari Mwampachu, a former Tanzanian Minister of Justice and Constitutional affairs, has died. https://www.thecitizen.co.tz/tanzania/news/former-minister-bakari-mwapachu-has-died-3288666

Edit: I didn't read the obit until now to know the exactly date of death, he died on december 24th, but was posted in january 25th, sadly according the rules, doesn't count and you need use a sub, I think you didn't read neither @Salmon Mousse

Have to admit, I haven't been keeping a close enough eye on this pool. Just looked through some of my other names and found that Alan R. Tripp died towards the end of January: https://www.inquirer.com/obituaries/alan-tripp-writer-advertising-executive-obit-obituary-philadelphia-20210125.html

Larry Robins, who managed Natalie Cole, Peter, Paul and Mary & George Wallace and served as a producer on an upcoming Netflix series, has died. He was 75. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/larry-robins-music-manager-and-producer-dies-at-75?utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter

Shelley Duvall grants a rare interview, her first in five years. Some new pictures of her in the article. She looks good! 71, quit Hollywood in 2002 and then moved to Texas. Has some demons with her mental health hence her becoming a recluse, but all in all I’d say she should be around for a while yet.

A few years ago Spade theorized if anyone would get the full bingo - 12 point unique joker who dies of unnatural causes on their birthday or Christmas Day! Which would be a 48 point joker! Closest was circa 30 a few years back but I can't mind who it was off top of my head!

Good shout. Dead according to both Wikipedia and this forum post (though they have his age wrong, he was 106). Awaiting confirmation ofc.

I know the UK focuses on illnesses or deaths 'per 1000' population, something we in the States rarely hear as a statistic. So here is a stat from the least educated state in the Union, and that is coming from someone in neighbouring Louisiana: 1 in 477 Mississippians has died of COVID-related complications (wlox.com) "In New Jersey, 1 out of every 406 citizens has died. In New York, 1 out of every 437." 1 In Every 500 Arizonans Has Now Died From COVID-19 | KJZZ That’s more than 2,000 deaths for every million Arizona residents — far higher than the U.S. average of 1,400 per 1 million. -------------- EDIT: 1 in 73 ultra-Orthodox Israelis over 65 has died of COVID, report says | The Times of Israel

Biggest Darwin Award since that woman tried to pet an alligator...

Seeing as you just created the DerrickRose1 alt for little purpose beyond causing ruckus you clearly are overestimating your survival chances. Just moderator preview for your Conman account... for now... but it's very thin ice you're treading on.

Let’s not tell Paul Bearer how to Admin, shall we?

We can now add the original duo of Silver Apples onto this list
