    American Gladiators was a TV show that ran from 1989 to 1996 and then also UK version which ran from 1992 to 2000. There was a 2008 attempt to revive it as well. There are many other international versions of the show as well. Shows I found: American Gladiators, Gladiators (UK), Gladiators (Australia), International Gladiators 1 and 2 , International Gladiators - The Ashes.. just look at other shows around the world. With some Gladiators having medical issues or dying I thought i'd make a list of everyone that i'm aware was on the show in some capacity. I've most likely missed people so apologies.

    legendary designer Bob Mackie turned 83 some weeks ago. Definitely famous enough to be on the list. Looked a little frail at the RuPaul’s drag race finale this week end. on a side note, a cameo of Carol Burnett shows that she’s rather in great shape.

    I noticed that the first 4 hits this year are all from different countries (Pakistan, USA, Japan, UK). Judging by this trend, I'll guess the next hit will be Le Pen, Delors, Kundera, Marcos, or Khameini.

    The Democratic Governor will appoint, and the person could have the position for a couple years prior to the special, making them the incumbent and a near shoe-in. That's what happened with Padilla who took over Kamala's seat.

    Quant was indeed a solo hit for you ! Congrats ! Carter at sub 3 then, probably a bit late yes but seeing How he lingers, he may reach your official list (or at least sub 1 spot), you never know I remember in november-december When the Game started, everyone put Harris and people were like you saying he would never make it to the official list. 6 months later he made every list Which picked him back then

    Someone hacked my debit card and treated all their friends to Chinese takeaways and Costa Coffee, then bought themselves a nice walnut pool table, I shit you not. April Fools'!! On one hand, I feel privileged that I was the chosen one. And no, it didn't decline On the other, bit scary that some fraudster can spend 4 figures without the app asking for approval. Being cash-only for a while should be a fun experiment. If the bank drag their heels then I might stop laughing.

    I looked up to see how she was doing, and this was the only post on her. Agafya Lykova is now 77, and 2 years ago was gifted with a new cabin: https://explorersweb.com/siberian-survivors-new-home/ This article from 2019 contains some more information about her, plus some good photos: https://siberiantimes.com/other/others/features/siberian-hermit-75-who-lives-in-18th-century-refuses-to-be-moved-by-space-age/ Healthwise, she had a lump on her breast in 2014, and went to the hospital for leg pain in 2016 which was attributed to cartilage deterioration. I wonder with the war if anyone has checked on her lately.

    I don't know what role sepsis has in this present photo. It's been an ongoing thing for at least 5-6 weeks we know of. Could be worn down cuz of that and not necessarily the Big C, not to dismiss it but just sayin. Patty Duke died of sepsis this year, but we didn't see any photos of her during her event. Maybe it fuxyou up like that I've no idea. SC

    I'm surprised they haven't attempted to attack Mall of America here in Minnesota, it's the 2nd largest in North America. There's one in Edmonton that's a little bit bigger.
