Sir Creep

Looks like either Sir Creep is the only one intelligent enough to post suicides in a suicide thread, OR.....the only one finding suicide articles. Yeah, well it's not the latter. Former Bellator and WEC mixed martial artist Blas Avena was found dead at the age of 32 in his Las Vegas apartment just before noon PT on Wednesday. The Las Vegas Metro Police Department is investigating it as a suicide. SC

By your statistics. Pfft. By Sir Creep's statistics he has 15 hits this year to your 1. Come correct before you dabble in prognostication. SC

Now that he is the only remaining Republican candidate, who else would Dole support? Perhaps Bernie for the LOLs? And why would people care about whom a 93 year-old, senile unsuccesful presidential candidate supports? Some Republicans (e.g. Paul Ryan and the Bushes) don't support Trump. Horse feathers! As already stated, who else would they support? SC

Perhaps, more tragically he may have forgotten how many improbably gorgeous women he shagged! Worthington denies the story: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/36234373 Worthington then denied the story again 5 minutes later. SC

I hear ya. I don't pay a ton of attention but it just 'feels' like the poorly-named Survivor show has more cadavers but maybe you're right. Per capita Biggest Loser has to be up there too. I did watch the first 3-4 seasons of Idol before it was old hat, so I remember Mr Smith quite well. His obit was interesting in that he explained he never got a music career going despite being pretty good with his pipes and somewhat popular as I recall. Gotta be true of so so so many of the top 12 contestants each season. SC

Funny, I received about 5 boxes of old VHS tapes from a friend, seeing as I appear to be the only lad with a player still, and I went through them last night and pulled maybe 20 I was interested I seeing and one was My Fair Lady. Twenty-five years you say...jeesh! SC

Former Maharashtra legspinner Sunil Gudge, 56, passed away on Tuesday at his residence in Pune, following a heart attack. “He was watching TV at home when he suffered the heart attack,” according to informed sources. Born in Pune on December 31, 1959, the legspinner and handy lower-order batsman played 55 first-class matches during a career lasting a decade and a half. OK what the fucking hell is a legspinner and I mean apart from a strip club? There's no way in hell a position on the cricket field is 'legspinner' please say it ain't so.

Are Beverly Cleary's works popular in the UK? I think they are mostly an American thing, meaning the committee likely hasn't heard of her. She would get an obit, but her books aren't very popular in the UK Oh but the committee has actual working knowledge of all the hunks of flesh from NZ or AUS they list. Get out of my sight! SC

Hoping he gets in now so when Canada says how good looking their leader is, we can say yes but we have a bigger cock. SC
