He DIES at 52 as well :-| SC

Jerome Kersey, star for the Portland Trailblazers. Dies at 52. Reason unknown at this time. -10 for Yahoo overuse of word 'legend' in title. SC http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nba-ball-dont-lie/blazers-legend-jerome-kersey-dies-at-52-042044226.html

Looks like he's struggling to pay the bills. Mike Hudson Benefit Concert. What bills? Guy JUST got in an accident and they have a benefit concert lined up? This whole thing is odd. SC

Plethora of typos addressed SC

Nikki Minaj.... Rapper? Pop star? Fringes of Minaj: not fringes if came cuz that's 'family' not co-workers. So not sure where to dump this. Minaj has never sung a note I her life so I'm saying rapper. Her tour manager is fringe of fame. This was a tough call all around but a damned cute little story.

And an update about his successful surgery, along w nice photo of surgical team who all saw the Prime Minister's penis. SC http://www.kualalumpurpost.net/singapore-pm-discharged-from-hospital/

This is the result of incredibly poor selections, as I've pointed out earlier with specific names, to zero retorts with medical evidence to the contrary. GIGO. Sir Creep.

(Re posted from Dead of 2015 forum) Case in point..... While a good number of celeb deaths have occurred in the past 48 hours, NONE are posted HERE, in the forum called the Deaths Of 2015. Yet I have to read all this garbage banter for what...,, 8 or so posts over whether some Guest posted first? In the meantime no obits are posted here in the forum called DEATHS OF 2015. What is the function of this forum if ALL obits aren't posted here? This should be one stop shopping. You wanna get cute and put a Nobel prize winner in that Nobel prize too, great. Yet you deride a guest for posting here....cuz he thought he was first...cuz logic told him a forum called DEATHS OF 2015 may in fact be the place to post, oh I don't know, deaths for the year 2015? For the record Lesley Gore died but you'll have to search all over to find it. Try dead Pop Stars. She is a dead pop star but apparently not part of the Class of 2015 Dead people. Smfh. And if posting obits in the other forums was priority, then having SIXTY-EIGHT PAGES of forums is asking quite a bit for a Guest to consume at one sitting. How about archiving 90% of those and making the list of forums something useful? Why a thread for 'who will be the 4th hit of 2014?' Archive that shit. You've only yourselves to blame for duplicitous posts what with duplicitous forums, a plethora of needless forums to sift through , and a search box that leant work on many occasions (it sure as hell doesn't list results by 'most recent update' which would be the only way it was useful). SC

Thanks a ton for copying and pasting the first two paragraphs of the NYTimes obit. As you see I've taken some liberties with this response.Sir Creep

Ah yes, the ever popular close-relative with inside info and open-ended statement of hope gambit. Please refer to the Muhammad Ali thread for further information. Did you mean this in reverse (where relative claims death is imminent when person is fine and dandy)? Or have you some scoop on the soon demise of Mr Ali? Cuz it's one or the other, right? SC

Not famous for anything besides being 115, if there's a better place to post this you'll need to direct me [i did my due diligence and searched her name zero hits returned]. That aside, Emma Moreno is now famous for giving interviews posted in the NYTimes. SC http://mobile.nytimes.com/2015/02/15/world/raw-eggs-and-no-husband-since-38-keep-her-young-at-115.html

Ugh! Well, plenty of jokes to be had. Sorry for repost. SC

It's Lesley Gore's funeral and she'll cry.....no she won't SC http://m.pitchfork.com/news/58503-its-my-party-singer-lesley-gore-has-died/

Same here, I pick up a few words here and there, but I think it's much harder to understand Danish when hearing it as opposed to reading it. I think of German when I hear it, it has the same type of vocal/intonation "style". Norwegian is much easier for me. You can think of the three languages as a spectrum where Swedish and Danish are at both ends with Norwegian being in the middle. So, a person from Norway has it easier to understand both other languages than we and the Danes do. If only we Brits were to put so much emphasis on foreign languages as your guys' countries do. I salute you gentlemen.Thanks, the main credit is due to the education system here. In 3rd grade, it's mandatory to learn English. In 6th grade, every student gets to pick one foreign language. Normally it's either French, Spanish or German, but in my case, I couldn't pick the one I wanted: Spanish. Why? Well, the teacher quit and they couldn't find a new one. In the end, I went with French in the hopes of being served French cuisine every now and then during class; You know, stuff like baguette and French fries. Yeah we suck here in arrogant America re: learning another language. It isn't even offered in schools until at least 9th grade, or at least when I was in it (read 1975 or so). Options were German Spanish French. In the opposite result of yours, I really wanted to learn French, but my mean parents said no you're taking Spanish. Chinga mi familia! Lol anyway 7 years later my sister says she wants to take French and they're like 'go for it'. Grrrr!! So where do I move to 30 years later? Cajun French southern Louisiana. Don't know a damn thing they're saying tyvm and I can't read the French Canadian genealogy documents from churches in 1700 where part of my tree came from. I'm a victim of circumstance lol. American arrogance any goofball parental units. Sir C Forgot to say it's also a matter of wealth. My nephews are 12 and living middle class (we were blue collar when I grew up) and my one nephew learning....CHINESE (smart choice!). That wouldn't have happened in 1975. SC

Condolences = cockle few Auto text crap. Though it's almost Freudian. SC

Dutch news site nu.nl has the news.I'm now waiting for a DDP approved news source to pick up the story to bag my first DDP 2015 theme team points.regards,Hein I don't doubt the veracity of a link in a language I can't read; however, it's been a couple days and, needing a little more than 1 rumor that is confirmed by 1 link to an article I can't read. Google and Yahoo searches come up empty though I saw a couple cockle few on his FB page. Wikipedia.NL not even 'updated'. Just like us DLers, we all like to be FIRST with updating info and wiki has it's dedicated updaters, yet remains void of a date of death. You got anything else confirming the rumored death of a gold medalist besides that lonely link? I'd beg for something in English but beggars can't be choosers. Sir C

Sounds like a suicide, as they're mum other than 'no foul play suspected'. Sad. SC

Former Creighton (NE) Univ President John Schlegel has inoperable pancreatic cancer and--should he make it to 2016--is a shoe-in. Grant you DLers have your Brit obit concern which he prolly won't. I just put em out there, you deal with your foibles.
