    Donald J Trump

    I think it's very possible that Bernie might have won. Trump's victory was more anti-establishment than racist or xenophobic. This article by Robert Reich is very insightful: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/nov/10/democrats-working-class-americans-us-election

    Donald J Trump

    Again, democracy is complicated. If 80% of people vote to exterminate the other 20% it's democratic but is it right? Ongoing arguments and challenge is as much part of democracy as is voting. The Chartists, the Suffragettes etc all won as a result of agitation not elections. That's why it's important to have something like the US Constitution, which guarantees rights and protects people from abuse by the majority. Unfortunately some parties like the US Left only respect the parts they like.

    Donald J Trump

    Donald Trump wins president... Cubs win World Series... Brexit happened... David Bowie, Prince, Muhammad Ali, and Gene Wilder dies... man. 2016 really is unpredictable I think Gene Wilder and Muhammad Ali are misplaced. Neither was a shocker Joey. I'm not saying their deaths were unpredictable, it's just the amount of celebrities that died. And Deathlist only guessed 8 of them No disrespect intended, I just think your sentence works better if you exclude Ali and Wilder. There is an edit function....... Just sayin'.........

    Good list with thoughtful comments U95. I do think that Hugh Hefner may be ready soon however.

    The dead of 2016

    And now the kids are selling off their parents shit they don't want. Like priceless paintings and whatnot. SC http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/11/07/lord-attenboroughs-lifes-collection-of-art-for-sale-for-1m-after/ How do you sell something that's priceless?

    Non-British Royals

    neither was your birth but we still have to put up with it. Not much of an insult but it's the thought that counts.

    Rumours

    There is a "suggested post" on FB which says that Angelina Jolie has been found dead. I don't see any confirmation anywhere so probably a hoax

    Ideas And Possibilities For 2017

    My take on this page is that it's a place to post possibilities for any death pool in the coming year. It is my favorite thread because I sometimes get a nugget of information I can use.
  12. And he'll have beaten Trump and Clinton and lots of Mormons will be happy (if they're allowed, or am I thinking of the Amish?). Neither Rocky. They can both be happy and enjoy themselves. Intoxicating spirits and modern technology are not synonymous with happiness.
  13. So RG, you're an American sports fan and didn't know the Cleveland Indians were a team until this year? Maybe it's a joke? At any rate, as a Red Sox fan, I'm interested in seeing if Theo can break another curse. Go Cubs!

    World's Oldest

    Which makes the fact Richard Overton hasn't dropped over all year in this his 109th on earth all the more frustrating. I'd kill the bastard myself if it didn't void my points. Hell between he and Emma Moreno I've got 224 years on my team and they look like 2016 miscues.SC Yes SC, two human beings continue to live and deny you points. How can they be so inconsiderate?

    Wrestlers/actors

    "Perry is in a position to get good medical care, but he's strapped financially." Which of us doesn't that describe? What a twat. SC I must agree Mr. C. It's like saying "I'm in a position to live like a billionaire, but I'm strapped financially".

    Life In Prison

    Wasn't this thread subtitled "Captive DL Prey" or something? Or is there another prison themed thread?

    Bhumibol Adulyadej

    I'll drink to that. I'm having a MBai-Tai. Years ago I came across a man whose name was Phat Phuc. I still chuckle over it.

    Being first with an obit is NEVER boring. In fact it's why we are all here, posting before anyone else FTW. SC I must disagree Mr. Creepy. I'm not at all concerned with "posting before anyone else", only maybe picking up a useful morsel or two about an impending death. I'm sure I'm not alone.

    Bhumibol Adulyadej

    As a player who has thought he would go before, I have to say that this is the genuine article. He'll be gone within a month, probably sooner.

    The dead of 2016

    Wow, I never knew this. I assumed the dog had attacked her viciously. In a 2012 interview, she said she didn't remember the night her dog attacked her as she had taken an overdose of sleeping pills prior and lost consciousness. She awoke in a pool of blood with her dog, Tania, beside her. The dog had attempted to wake her by gnawing at her face. FFS, what happened to licking? Clearly licking didn't work. So it escalated. You or I would probably have tried throwing a bowl of ice cold water over the sleeper, then if that didn't work, call an ambulance or drive them to casualty. Dog couldn't do that. Lassie or Rin Tin Tin would have been able to do that.Todays Dog just doesn't have the wherewithal to do anything like that. Pretty poor show! *insert Zappa's 'Weasels Ripped My Flesh' album cover* Good album Mr. Creepy!
