Congratulations. Nobody cares.

Is Dove Windsor an expensive bar of soap ?

My Hogmanay is fuq’d. I have a non-Covid bug, but even without that, more than half the people around me either have a touch of the Omicrons or live with someone with it. Gonna game and drink sloe gin until I’m sad. P.S. This aged fucking well.

Some wacky deathpooling ideas... Odd Couple deathpool: You get assigned to another participant as teammate. You come up with half the team each and are not allowed to communicate with each other. Admin temporarily disables PMs between you. Two players in the top 10 of the last DDP cannot be drawn with each other. Think you have excellent submissions? Watch it all be undone by your teammate's awful picks. Charity deathpool: Each player submits a small number of celebrities. But you don't get to have them on your team, they'll be sent to random players. In turn, you will get others' picks. To prevent purposely "donating" really bad picks, you get point reduction if they don't die or summat. The I-hate-the-host-of-this-game-and-wish-they-were-dead game: You don't get to decide which celebs will be on your team. The host does, and completely arbitrarily at that. Bribing the host is disallowed, but it's probably to your benefit if you are on good terms with him/her. Peter Falk deathpool: You make a list of 100 names and send it to the host. One day when you least expect it (could be months later), the host will come to your house and take you directly to a classroom. There, you will be asked to write down as many of the 100 names as you can remember. Only those who you remembered correctly will be given points for if they die. Staring at the blank paper for minutes, you will no doubt start to wonder if you actually have early-stage dementia. Note: This game might work best locally with your mates. The zoopool: The host, preferrably a zookeeper, will show pictures of every single animal there is at a particular zoo. Your job is to pick 20 of them who you think will die within the next year. The winner gets a guided tour around the zoo, as well as large posters of each of their hits to hang on their bedroom wall. The reincarnation game: Your picks dying is not enough. You ONLY score if you can prove without a doubt that they are back among the living in another form.

Well that's settled - Denis O'Dell Dead: https://variety.com/2021/film/obituaries-people-news/denis-odell-dead-beatles-movies-producer-1235145248/

All teams submitted up to now are in the system. @Exu you can still place two subs on your team which can also score points.

Nope.

Agree ! Seems like a must

BTW Pahor is now the 5th oldest living man in Italy (a 108 year old one died today). Doubt he will ever be the oldest, but the podium is a possibility.

Time is ticking..... you have a few hours left to get your team in. As I will be away from the keyboard over midnight, you might want to get your team in early, mostly if you want to be sure about immediate disqualifications. After midnight, they will be replaced by your subs. And remember the rules, if your picks get disqualified in the DDP, they also get disqualified here., However, we already have a record participation! Great work to all of you.

Aye, but whilst the prison medical unit has hospice facilities nobody is saying the unabomber is using them, right. Surrounded by all that medical equipment capable of giving a 79 year old additional years might be a good place to ask Ted if he still thinks the industrial revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.

Peter Falk has Alzheimer’s disease

The joke is everybody using a glorified cold as an excuse to shut themselves inside and ruin the economy.
