Sir Creep

As usual, interesting conversation occurs on my home Deadpool rather than anything here… —‘Wow, all five original members of the Moody Blues are gone. Pinder was the last of the group's original five members.’ —‘That leaves how many people who have ever seen a mellotron? Fripp is about it.’ —-a song offered to the group by Paul McCartney, but in the end decided the tune wasn’t right for the Moodys. Instead, Mary Hopkin recorded the song, “Those Were the Days,” and scored a worldwide smash hit.’ —“That’s amazing trivia. Can you imagine the path they would have taken if they sang Those Were the Days?” —‘Check this out... "On Christmas 1969, the President of Equatorial Guinea, Francisco Macías Nguema, had 150 alleged coup plotters executed in the national stadium while the amplifier system played the Mary Hopkin recording of "Those Were the Days"." —‘Never mind the fact that the litany of hits written by Sir Paul now includes this song. Who knew?’ —‘Death was imperative when he sang his version of Go Now.’ —‘Needless to say they’ll likely be on tour next summer.’ Deathlist used to have actual conversations like this but those days are long gone. RIP to Deathlist. SC

You are certainly aware that every link for archival DDP teams takes you to the 2024 list of team names.

8 April 2024 (Monday) Path of Totality. We are about 70 miles north of Toledo, Ohio, which will have 00:01:20 of total darkness. I would go but the traffic will be unbearable, and clouds are forecasted across much of the path (most of Texas and Ohio that I researched at least), which is sad. Anyway, we get 98% here whatever that means. Sir Creep works outside and relies on the sun, so probably work a half day lol SC https://nationaleclipse.com/maps.html

I just didn’t buy what was being sold here on DL; none of his pals made it sound as dire. My loss.

Dave Burgess yay

I turned mine in a couple hours to spare, like we do. Didn’t have a clue my ringer had died; and I only threw Irving’s name as my sub bc I figured you would launch him yet again though I’m certain he’s fine and a liar, but I could eliminate one of your picks should the unfortunate occur, which it did. Same reason I made Harrell my joker (I knew you would) and why I listed Jimmy Carter (don’t wanna get caught w pants down should he actually die). I did my best to make this a 6-on-6 match or so, and to that extent I’m ok with my lineup. But they’ll either all be dead or ok by March 4th.
