Sir Creep

Well there's been chatter about Lemmy before. You can't exactly expect someone to drop dead two days after diagnosis though. I too am surprised in DDP only one team had him though, with theme teams and all that beg just to fill up a roster. Not sure if there's a bass players theme team but would there have been Lemmy would have been Joker. SC

I tried that 'Indian in a Coma' thing this year to no avail. Jaswant Singh. Pwwwt! SC

Surely? Why the hell you say that?

Not a celeb but a cute story with a cute video. 'Xu' is the man in charge and when the manmade landslide got all crazy, he felt shame and jumped off a building to his fate.

Former Cincinnati Reds All-Star pitcher Jim O'Toole has died at age 78 after a lengthy battle with cancer. O'Toole reportedly died on Saturday at his home. He spent Christmas with his family the previous day. The left-hander O'Toole spent nine of his 10 major-league seasons with the Reds before finishing his career with the Chicago White Sox in 1967. He went 98-84 with a 3.57 ERA. SC http://www.upi.com/Sports_News/2015/12/28/Former-Cincinnati-Reds-LHP-Jim-OToole-dies-at-78/1051451285620/ So he died the day after Christmas; I guess they can return his gifts.

He is now http://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/29/sports/basketball/meadowlark-lemon-harlem-globetrotter-who-played-basketball-and-pranks-with-virtuosity-dies-at-83.html?_r=0 No!!! RIP SirC

You got a link for those 'facts'. Yeah, I thought so. SC

Fuck off

Dave Henderson, a solid player for the As. Hit a big homer in Game 5 of playoffs: RIP SC http://bit.ly/1ml2R5J?cc=3a26c0a564c606454a1f15629a9c4258

Here's the 2016 Putin shirtless calendar you horn dogs. SC http://m.tmz.com/#article/2015/12/26/vladimir-putin-2016-calendar-shirtless-photos/

Christmas celebrating continuing into the 26th.... Just got a call from a barfly, my daughter's mother got in a wreck and is in jail. It's midnight here so inside of an hour ago. Time to move for full parental custody. SC

A wrestler, likely to get an obit, who is ill? Colour me intrigued.It's not Tom Billington, fwiw. They're not WWE Hall of Famers but they'd probably enter as a third/fourth-tier entry in the next five years. May even get next year's HoF if the cark it before then.Poor Moondog/Buschwhacker/X Pac or Bobby Eaton I was gonna say "Come on there's no way they would put X-Pac in the Hall of Fame". But then reality leaped on me like a Bronco Buster.X-Pac probably is a feasible WWE HoFer, they'll probably do a DX group induction in 2018/as soon as Chyna is dead. I mean, the WWE HoF has Koko B Ware in. 2018 may be a bit generous. Chyna missed her match and was sent to the hospital at the last second for undisclosed reasons tonight.

I'm not buying what y'all are selling on Anthony Booth for 2016. Drop 40 here I come. What makes year 12 with Alzheimer's any different than year 11? I'll weigh in that he's another year older, but he misses the mark even with that. GL to all who choose him (and that's gotta be 50% non theme teams from what I'm reading). 2017 I'll reconsider. I gotta hear about the dude contracting a common cold at fucking least. As of now Alzheimer's don't cut it. Glen Campbell a far better pick IMHO and I'm not looking at HIM til 2017. SC

Ok will work with that rule. It's a bitch not seeing the qualifying media on a daily basis.

Total damage: $612.34

Btw seeing as Lauren Hill was allowed I can only presume there is virtually no rule on 'celebrity'. The obituary in a qualifying source is what defines celebrity. Please advise. No one seems to be answering my questions so I won't be happy if my team is gashed with denials post hoc. SC

Perfect example of time lapse or gap in the information world. I've Googled various ways to find out WTF your talking about with Monseniour Wells; all I see is he's recently been accused of doping, no news there. Can't find a headline anywhere re: health so that must be local stuff I'm not ever going to be privy to. In any case, no bother. Just pointing that out. Not a reason in the world I would include him and this juxtaposed with your 'everyone will choose him' so it must be terrible news. SirC

Your idea will never be taken, since it would contradict one of the main rules. There are some household names, like ZsaZsa, who are expected to be on every year's list until they die, but the readers also want some variety. Since at least half of the candidates must be replaced, the committee members should never be content with what they have and should always look for better candidates with which they can replace some of the names on the current list. Well it's not that---it's that some people GET BETTER! So we're supposed to be stuck FOREVER with a name chosen on facts from later weeks the prior year? Asinine. I've got a total of TWO names I'm recycling this year. And I WON the league. SC

Here is one time a MasterChef DEFINITELY didn't want it well done? SC http://m.dailytelegraph.com.au/technology/former-masterchef-contestant-loses-home-in-tragic-blaze/story-fnjww4h5-1227689079061?sv=702fb590889068c61b18059145a4ef68

Given that among all over DPs a standard convention of no under 18s has been adopted should the rules to this not follow suit an categorically limit picks to over 18 years old. Just ROFLMFAO at the words "standard convention" being associated with the Hartlepool Deadlypool. Im still working on 'empress' SC

This is why they are Guestys, all cute & cuddly. SC

Out of critical care, sounds like a near miss we can forget about SC http://uproxx.com/music/2015/11/bad-brains-dr-know-update/

Btw turned in theme team and going over notes I found two names I was going to substitute. Is that a problem before kickoff? I'm not going to continually update before Dec 31, it is an honest one-time mistake. I understand they can't keep switching people Willy nilly. SC

I dunno I've tracked a few names I've never heard before from your side of the Pond to see what tribulations put them in the forefront. I've not stole anyone yet, as I'm happy with my compilation that admittedly is US heavy (I haven't daily access to the news over there). But I don't see people holding back much. SC
