    And so John Prine went the same way as the drug addicted Sam Stone did. An Angel from Montgomery took John Prine today, and news of Coronavirus and plenty of health problems made him a popular cup pick in April. Both Clorox and deadsox picked Prine, but Prine was deadsox’s joker and is now even with Clorox. However, clorox still leads due to Glanzer being slightly younger than Hussein was. msc takes a 6 point lead against Sir Creep, a surprisingly big gap against the former cup runner up. An even bigger gap happens in Book vs Jiroemon, where the latter now has a 10 point lead against the former. However, the match is far from over. Also, a Prine joker has Chorizo with a 9 point lead over Quim, who will no doubt be shouting once again “arseburgers, I’m going to lose!” Grim finally brings a score in his tie against grobler, while Torva takes the lead against DeathByArsenic with a Prine joker. YoungWillz has Prine as joker while An Fear Beag just has Prine as a pick. The latter leads on hits, but watch out for that sneaky Frank Ifield pick. Finally, in a bit of a surprising move, Banana is down 6 points as Death Impends has Prine on his team. All up for a long match ahead... 1. Clorox vs Deadsox 9 - 9 2. Sir Creep vs msc 0 - 6 3. Book vs JiroemonKimura 0 - 10 4. Chorizo vs Quim Reaper 9 - 0 5. Grim vs Grobler 3 - 0 6. DeathByArsenic vs Torva 3 - 6 7. An Fear Bag vs YoungWillz 6 - 6 8. Banana vs Death Impends 0 - 6

    I thought he died a year or two ago, and now I must have confused him for another Tory MP born in the late 30s. Anyhow, the whole duck island was one of the notorious bits of the expenses scandal, but just look how happy that duck looked after some taxpayer funded Location Location Location work:

    It does seem to be a more quiet update - but maybe I have missed something in this age of Corona. If so, tell me. New hits are: Albert Uderzo, Honor Blackman and William Frankland. Ignacio Trelles could be a unique hit for Sir Creep, but hasn't received a QO so far. Rank Team Points 1 gcreptile 472 2 Death Impends 431 3 Banana 427 4 RadGuy 392 5 Cpt.

    I can’t believe people are planning to step outside and “Clap for Boris”. Honestly, how fucking dare they devalue the round of applause for the NHS workers, the real heroes of this crisis, by giving a round of applause to one muttering prat who’s a bit poorly sick? He doesn’t deserve a round of applause or any further form of recognition, any more than the other 70k or however many sick people in this country.

    That's probably not far off what Boris looks like at the moment!

    I particularly get annoyed when I have a reasonable hit in a pool and don't get the QO to score it. Case in point John Starling in the Windy City, or Henry Gray or Randy Romero in several high profile pools. Granted, these may not be household names, but they are certainly accomplished folks and not just quintuplet moms or cancer bloggers. I am pretty disciplined at avoiding those, even when they would be easy points if accepted. This is not a criticism of those pools, just my frustration when a name I feel should score doesn't get respected by the main media. So this type of pool does not rely on the QO, it relies on the tried and true names already commonly accepted in the games. Plus I think it will have the added benefit of being a pool that you can submit a team and forget about it for a while, or you can stay active and improve your chances of winning just a little bit. Here is the idea: I will post a list of 80 selected surviving names taken from 1) the Deathlist over the past two years, 2) the Derby Drop 40 for 2020, and 3) a few of my own liking which did not make either source 1 or 2. Entries will submit a list of 40 of those names, ranked from 40 pts (at the top) down to 1 point at the bottom. So, yes, put your favorites at the top. Bonuses: a daily double will get you +10 points A solo hit will get you +20 points, a duo is worth +10 pts, and a trio is worth +5 pts for each player In addition, any solo, duo or trio can be replaced AT THAT SPOT with a new name from the list of 80. This is where list maintenance helps your chances if you stay alert. Also, a hit at the 13 spot or 19 (in honor of the virus) spots can also be replaced with a new name from the list of 80, every time it hits. So these spots recycle their points and are potentially valuable. So do you use your Top 40 right away, or hold a few sure things back to bring them in as replacements? You decide. The game ends the first time we have a full calendar month without a single hit on an active list. So as long as the scoring remains active, the game keeps going. Technically it could go 80 months, but we know it will be much shorter than that, I am hoping one to two years to wrap it up and crown an inaugural champion. Entries close when the third hit on the list of 80 dies, or when we get 15 entries, so it could be a few days, or a few weeks from now. At that point I will post a master list of entries. You can PM your lists to me, or post them to this thread. The game starts as soon as the first entry is received. I will PM my list to that person in return for safe keeping as well. Hope it sounds fun and good luck to all!! I will post the list of 80 later this afternoon.

    I’ve always pondered the logic of frying an (imitation) cheese sandwich in (imitation) butter, and calling it ‘grilled’.

    This whole corona virus created just to tidy up a messy situation for the royals? (Corona is Latin for crown after all).

    The Telegraph, The Hollywood Reporter, The Times and The Guardian all have full length obituaries up now and they were published within an hour of the news first breaking (slight delay probably due to verifying reports / minor tweaks to detail in text body). Let’s not be too harsh on the written press. They’re generally quite quick.

    Also composed the soundtrack for The Shining. Edit: Well, his compositions were used for the movie. He didn't specifically make them for the film.
