Congratulations to DDT for making the final. Your team was better and you deserved the win. Best of luck to both the finalists and to my next opponent, the Dead Cow.

Yeah Joey that's more like it.

You have a point Toastie. With some people it's "If I've never heard of him, he's not a celebrity". That's why objective criteria like getting an obit in a significant news source is a good rule for pools like the DDP. Of course, then we can argue over what's a significant news source.........

Deadpooling has made me much more cosmopolitan. I know about old and sick people all over the world that I would never have heard of otherwise. The old host at Alt Obit's used to say to me "You only want him/her because he's/she's got pancreatic cancer" and I used to say "Yes, isn't that the point - picking people who are going to die? Should I be picking all young healthy people?"

I only became aware of her when she became ill but she was a significant pol in the UK. The alt obit DP is a bit quirky as to who they allow or disallow. I've been surprised at some who were disallowed (I have a few every year) as well as surprised at who has been let in. It's a case of "your pool-your rules" so I don't squawk (much).

Wow! I'm in this one and I even got a vote!!!!!

Too early to wave a white flag but a great start by DDT's team.

This may yet work out but at the moment I'm regretting picking Marieke Vervoort as my DDP Joker.

Just a straight miss for me, I didn't know about him. I'll have to hope I have the luck for him to have month-long red tape issues or to equalize with someone else. Me winning by luck wouldn't be a new story, lol.

I'm very happy to have gotten past YW. Thanks for your sportsmanship Youngster! Best of luck DDT in our semi-finals rematch.

Well I'm just sayin'........

Burn.

Or you could bring them home, just ask my place or yours?

There is no necrophilia among celebrities! Well, when I say there's no necrophilia I don't mean there isn't a little bit of necrophilia.......

It's hard to think of a celebrity who has fallen more precipitously in the public's regard. He went from a much loved father figure to the depths of a sickening rapist. It's even worse that he was a man who was rich and powerful; he didn't have to rape women to have sex. How revolting to think that he actually enjoyed drugging women and having sex with an unconscious victim. Ick.

For me, sounding slutty is a positive attribute.

I had Jimmy Hoffa and I'm still waiting for a QO.

It seems like it was that Joe Stalin thing that set him off (I forget who the guy actually is).

He tripped on a period and hit his head on an exclamation point.

So blasting something into outer space is cheaper than putting it in the ground or on the mantel? What am I missing here?

This is the right thread for this. Stupid and outrageous certainly apply. Scary applies if many people buy it.

Did you have a controversy between him and Sonny Jurgensen? Wobble and Win with Billy!

Olive and Eunice.

Used fossil fuel. Tsk, tsk.

That's the second time Kumquat has come up (albeit with a variant spelling). I like it however. It sounds rather racy and vulgar and yet you can use it in polite company.
