My condolences go to Mango at this difficult time.

Condolences to all deadpool runners.

@Mango where are you. This was supposed to be your moment.

Optimus Prime voice actor Garry Chalk diagnosed with stage 4 Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Atlanta Journal seems to report he's dead. GDPR issues for me though.

Has mymango killed himself?

Shit, that's me needing to rewrite my "2024 - the year where Scott Thorson was a better pick than Jimmy Carter" jokes for the DDP year in review. RIP to a real one

I'm not actually sad although I greatly admired Jimmy Carter.His quality of life was so poor that this is a happy release. Condolences to his family and everyone running deadpools.

The record for lowest hits is actually zero! 1991, long before most of us knew about the DL, indeed before several forum regulars were even born.

My teams are now officially in so most of my free time will be entering everything over the next couple weeks (hopefully not that long, but we'll see). Please monitor your emails just in case.

Well, that is also a way to skip the inauguration.

Yrjö Saraste dead at 101.

Charles Dolan dead at 98.

Maybe he was Jimmy.

Carter Center confirmation

Well that's plans for this evening sorted.

For fucks sake. I'm going to have to sub every single crowdsourced team.

Well…

Your comment confuses me sir. If a wrestler from the WWE/WWF could not get an obit, why would we have an entire thread related to Wrestlers?

A little under three days to go until the game commences, and so far we have 35 players on board. A long way to go to reach last years record entry of 65 players. So far, I am missing entries from the following who played last year. Still load of time to submit a team, and of course new players are very welcome to join. @Book @BuffaloPhil @Charles De Gaulle @chel @diego @drol @etib80 @Etushispushingupdaisies @Famous6Eva @Funeralopolis @gcreptile @Ghostofchristmaspast @Grim Up North @Hell @Imelda @John Key @nantonian2013 @Pedro67 @Prophet @RadGuy @Salmon Mousse @Shamalka Amarasekera @The Old Crem @ThereWillBeDeaths7 @time @Toast @Torva Messor @TQR @tracy @wannamaker @WhoamI @WillyWonka422 @Young One @Zsa Zsa's leg

Martyn Brown, co-founder of Team17 has died at only 57: https://www.timeextension.com/news/2024/12/team17-co-founder-martyn-brown-has-passed-away-aged-57 I liked that company back in the day. Most famously, they created the Worms games (also Alien Breed). Those gamers...don't get old.

Bruce Willis is non-verbal now: https://www.themirror.com/entertainment/bruce-willis-family-cherishing-every-880238 He has frontotemporal (?) dementia since 2023 - and it has a three-year prognosis. I think he's pretty much on the schedule.
