Sir Creep

Nah, Paul Prudhomme thread was opened 28 January 2005, updated with his death on 8 October 2015. Oh that's just great.....now every Tom Dick and Harry will be opening threads about people who aren't the least bit ready to drop over and are B-listers, hoping that the thread will be forgotten forever and a day (read: 1 more day than Prudhomme's). I guess the only redeeming fact is that the site teams with greater popularity and posters than in 2005, and the likelihood that 10 years will elapse, sans update, with a thread created in 2015 is remote, if not downright impossible. One can hope. SC

Police in the United States are investigating the death of an Irish student who was visiting San Francisco for his brother’s wedding.

Sir Creep warned you, but did you listen? Three weeks after announcing he has 'very treatable and curable' cancer, he is back in hospital after 'a setback'. I'd have to imagine the coach of an NBA team would obit but only y'all know that. One to NOW definitely keep an eye on!!!SC http://m.newspressnow.com/sports/ap/basketball/article_aac1c389-37bd-528a-a3dc-92b96a183ea0.html?mode=jqm Minneapolis Star Tribune journalist Jerry Zgoda suggests Saunders's recent silence means either a poor reaction to chemo or more cancer than originally thought, so indeed worth keeping an eye on. Timberwolves front office makes it official that Saunders won't be back to coach this 2015-2016 season. SC

Seriously, folks. All the posts today, and no one mentioned Al Jolson (65 years)? What would MAMMY say?

A fair amount of waving along the parade route, thus his arm could fall off. Yes....I went there. SC

David Winnick for one. Member for Croydon South Mar 1966 - Jun 1970 Member for Walsall North May 1979 - present. Can't speak to 1970, but you ferretted out my basis for inclusion on my list! Granted I could only find names through the letter G for certain so that's why it's A-G heavy. LOL. Most of the names I have were MPs elected, booted, and re-elected. I figured they had a history of being booted, so a-booting they will go. SC

someone trip zsa zsa Gabor Difficult to trip up a woman who is bedridden.If you can think of a way let me know.Besides it wouldn`t work.Zsa Zsa has survived falls before and strokes, blood clots, blocked feeding tubes ,a car crash, divorces ,an amputation and many infections.Therefore a minor fall on a sidewalk probably wouldn`t do it I'm sure the NHS could find a way. You bastards highjacking poor Mr. Barker's thread tsk tsk

Next school shooting? I'll take a stab at this one: Sweden perhaps. SC​

What was their beef with him? He was a Mooslim. I'll be steering clear of India then.
