Congrats, @gcreptile! Bob Dole is obviously left of my team. Long live both kings!

Do you intend to answer any of the questions asked?

What is your long card number, expiry date and CVV?

The death of famed Aboriginal actor David Gulpilil was much anticipated by our collective, with only chilean way and LizLemon thinking he would walk about for another year. Now that he's made his last wave, they get thrown even further out back. Though their teams were already well down under as it stands... 1. Sir Creep 8 2. Pedro67 9 3. The Quim Reaper 15 =4.

Nurul Islam Jihadi dead at 73: https://www.tbsnews.net/bangladesh/hefazat-secretary-general-nurul-islam-jihadi-passes-away-336211 Fourth Hefazat-e-Islam Bangladesh leader to die since September 2020 after Shah Ahmad Shafi, Nur Hossain Kasemi (Secretary-General) and Junaid Babunagari. Jihadi had been the Secretary-General of the organization after Kasemi died in December at 75.

Hmm. My last idea never got off the ground (principally because I wasn't going to be arsed with much pooling this year). Now, the Poker Season is only a 6 month game, and I feel up to a 12 month game as well. What I thought of having was a game of Battleship. Essentially there would be a 5x10 grid with the names of the Deathlist Committee selections in it. Players would place their ships (here's the crucial bit) in December, before the Committee have selected the order and who they were picking - so that would get the heart racing! You would have the usual ships and number of hits to sink your ships before the year was out. As it would be based on the Deathlist, no obit qualifications would be needed - just the punter's death. No diagonals and no overlapping ships as per the normal game. In the grid, A1 would be Deathlist pick number 1, A2, Deathlist 2, etc etc. I've yet to think of a scoring system. Do you think there'd be any interest in such a game?

Ever shoved a cheeky finger up a arse??

It always felt like one name or another would delay us to infinite rounds. Well done, indeed!

You won another game, congratulations!

Well, thats done ;). Bob Dole is a real fighter...

It actually happened?? Saving grace for my DDP team sitting on three (!) non-obits right now.

Bernard Cribbins has been confirmed as a guest for the DWAS Convention to be held in London in April 2022 I know this doesn't mean too much but at this current time his assessment of his own health means he thinks it is a reasonable thing to commit to

Sometime Floridian Democratic congresswoman Carrie Meek, erstwhile 20/20+1 pick (but not for a few months), reportedly dead aged 95: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-11-28/former-florida-u-s-rep-carrie-meek-dies-at-95

Phil Saviano, whistleblower/survivor of Catholic clergy sex abuse, dead at 69 from gallbladder cancer. Portrayed in 2015 best picture winning film Spotlight. He entered hospice care in late October and this was apparently announced on his Facebook page.

Who would rather beat Robert Solow in a fight, Kabosu the original Doge, or transcendentalism?

Oh, the next one! David Gulpilil is a hit for Buffalo Phil, Joey Russ, theoldlady and TomTomTelekom!

Underrated genius!

Why is James Corden so popular?
