Sir Creep

I am. I'm as excited as Toast! Anywhere but here that carries the exact opposite connotation SC

Why the word 'necessarily'? He is simply NOT DEAD..... Thus making Bass an asshole for posting his winner for Non News Story of 2017 here of all places.SC it A R S E and I don't fucking care if you are a Yank, its a UK site. Sounds like someone's Union Jack panties got a twist in em, settle down Gomer. SC

Damn. Now I'm just waiting for that big music name, cause this is starting to become like 2016 now... Well that's bollocks. All the major death this year have been relatively obscure or reasonably old (over 70). I.e normal. I'd like to thank Time for this one. In my DP you need two writers and I couldn't come up with one after Huston Smith died at the last seconds of 2016, so I just took a flyer on Blatty. Yay me, and a thumbs up to Time. SC

Austin Peay Univ head basketball coach Dave Loos battling cancer. He's an older guy and it's a battle he will Loos. SC http://www.theleafchronicle.com/videos/sports/college/apsu/basketball/2017/01/05/dave-loos-focuses-health-takes-leave-absence/96193040/

Hey he appeared in the 1955 Ryder Cup -- the same year as that Japanese tennis player dude won US Open Men's doubles for the first time. Something amiss with 1955 accomplishments. Someone needs to make a list. SC

Sounds like an upgrade to me.SC

Great minds, Sir C, great minds. Haha no way that's just you. I only tag along

Ernie Kovacs - 55 years Edit: dammit, tie goes to RHPenguin Edit 2: ahhh but I got it right (55 years not 25!)

Indeed it does! No idea why that happened

Dag's phone: "What can I help you with?"

He's got panc panc pancreatic cancer!

An “acute” digestive issue was what forced U.S. Rep. John Rutherford to be taken to an emergency room Wednesday evening after collapsing at the U.S. Capitol, according to the latest statement from his office. The congressman’s chief of staff, Kelly Simpson, states that Rutherford received medical treatment at the U.S. Capitol after his collapse. Then the freshman Republican, sworn in just over a week ago, was taken to George Washington University Hospital for evaluation and treatment. Stress getting to him after only one week!

The dog used to bark, but now it's in park.

So you'd have eaten up a spot on DDP for four years gaining nothing, and worse, tipped off someone who may have put her on their team this year. Sounds a blessing. Accept your zero with a bit o pride but no regrets. SC She died in 2013, so wouldn't have been a waste at all! But would have been highly atypical to my overall 2013 performance... I'm fairly cool these days - folk die when not on lists all the time, either we didn't know they were ill, or discounted them and got proven wrong. Either way, not worth tearing your hair out about! Ahhh ok the way I read it she died recently, which seemed odd lamenting finding her back in 2012. That makes far more sense. Well I'm sorry for your loss. SC

I was going to post Pietro Bembo (470 years) only cuz it's a kick ass name, but apparently he created the musical form known as the 'madrigal'. Who knew. I thought Genesis did :-/ SC

I know what you mean.I know who ASIA where but not him. Wetton was the bassist for King Crimson on their later albums. I know that doesn't increase his fame rating but musically Starless and Bible Black is far superior to anything Asia released. That's true of all members of the band. Asia should t apologize for making some radio pop with a hint of prog. SC

Tommy Allsup in ICU. No word on if the Reaper's flipping a coin to decide whether to take him now or later. Sooner, I believe he's dead. Looking for a link. There ya go: http://lubbockonline.com/entertainment/2017-01-11/tommy-allsup-guitarist-who-toured-buddy-holly-dies VALENCE??? Really?!!? Good thing Jimmy Hendricks didn't die in that plane too. C'mon Whitehouse I'm hoping you're better than that from now on. SirCreep

Abdicate....is that like liposuction?

Fuckin-A. I need Dago lessons. SC

Dude -- link or it didn't happen. This isn't goddamn school, you don't get to assign homework. SC

And now I have a new vehicle: 2012 F150 XLT ecboost v6 w 48000 miles. May actually last through the 66 month loan. SirC
