Martti Ahtisaari died over a week ago but I forgot to update this game. Oops. He was a diplomat and peace negotiator who helped in the independence of Namibia. He became the president of Finland in 1994 and supported Finland's entry to the EU, and he won the Nobel peace prize for his efforts to resolve international conflicts. He is a hit for 3 teams. @Hell reaches the 10 point mark while @Thatcher and @MariNisia share third place with 14 points each.

I *may* have hidden Nadine's novels behind other books when I saw them in the library the other day...

Currently in Montenegro, was in Kotor, now Podgorica. Too rainy today, sadly, about to take the night train to Belgrade. Hoping to solve a murder case on the train.

One goes, the other won't last six months.

Vincent Price died on this day 30 years ago, aged 82. - Price moved from the US to the UK in 1934 to seek a degree in fine arts from Courtauld, and made his professional acting debut in a 1935 version of Chicago. - Among his early movie roles include Joseph Smith in Brigham Young, Vital Dutour in The Song of Bernadette, and most notably the Duke of Clarence in Tower of London, which was his first horror movie role. Outside of horror roles, he was also known to appear in movies such as The Saint and The Ten Commandments (the latter of which, he portrayed the overseer Moses kills). - In the 1960s, Price would team up with (the still living) Roger Corman for many B-movie horror films, particularly adaptations of the works of Edgar Allan Poe. - On television, Price is known for being a regular panelist on Hollywood Squares and making guest appearances on episodes of The Brady Bunch and The Muppet Show: On the topic of puppets, Price was lampooned in Spitting Image, where he would try (and fail) to lure people into ghastly traps. - Price also did voice work, with some of his most memorable roles being the narrator of Tim Burton's Vincent (whom he would work with again in Edward Scissorhands), Ratigan in The Great Mouse Detective, and Zigzag the Grand Vizier in The Thief and the Cobbler; the latter film was known for its development hell- he recorded his lines for in the 1960s, and it was released mere months before he died. - Price did the spoken verse in Michael Jackson's "Thriller", and provided this now iconic laugh: - Outside of acting, Price was an avid chef, and published several cookbooks and audio tapes. - In his later years, Price was diagnosed with COPD and Parkinson's disease, but it was ultimately lung cancer that doomed him.

Folk take this far too seriously. The interminable search for an unique. Such in fact that to the extent that people like Jane Birkin and Jimmy Buffett get missed. I play along for a little distraction. I have no access to the resources some seem to have to pick up on those picks that might mean winning or doing well. I like my teams, I like my topics, and I also like learning about folk, even if I have never heard of them I have no interest however in actually picking folk that mean nothing to me except points on a board.. Winning/high scoring is the furthest thing from my mind. I roll with the punches, I live with not getting an unique obit (but I will still complain about it on here - see Philip Latham! who did finally obit) and move on. Some folk are just good at this. If I'm not, my life isn't ruined.

Tbf this counting as an obit is quite far-fatched. Putting my Game here but we had tons of obits for Claude Sarraute (still fed up with this), real articles from prominent newspaper such as Le Monde uk, Libération (in english) and others, and not a single one article in any newspaper from any language about Yolanda’s passing except this one line reference. This is not an obit

I bet Joanne Woodward didn’t look so good at 90. If Woodward can make it so close to 93, so can Scales. Meaning Scales can again be dropped in 2024, but should return in 2025.
