6 weeks later .... Texas Rodeo cowboy Waymon Fountain succombs to prostate cancer that had tied him up in under 8 seconds. He was DL CupTastic, but no one had him on their team. SC Here was the announcement 6 weeks ago: -------------- Dear friends & family, I would ask you all to stand in prayer with our family for our Bpop - Waymon Fountain. For those who are unaware, he has been battling inoperable prostate cancer for 5 years this June. When found, it had already spread to several parts of his body. However, he has amazed the doctors up to this point! He is home and in good spirits, but as of today, hospice is now apart of his daily routine. We are praying and believing for a miracle. God is still God! Please stand in prayer with us. I asked him tonight if he wanted people to know about what he is going through, and if he would like visitors. He said yes. He loves his friends and family. Now or as soon as you can, would be a good time to go see him.

Yawwwnnnn and he is famous for what other than being ill? Groundskeeping I guess. Oh...winning money judgment because ... he is ill? I'm well aware the wishy-washiness of the admins of these DPs. Really need a hard-liner who says what he/she means and means what he/she says. May as well wipe one's arse with whatever codified rule that 'celebrity' status fell under. SC

First 12 minutes or so Sweden couldn't have looked more disinterested. Could have been 2 or 3-0. I posted around the 8th minute as I recall, but admit I fell asleep in the big cocoon recliner around the 60th. Woke up at least an hour later...so missed all the fun.

The all-too common ‘tree falling on your boat’ death: A 22-year-old southern Missouri man drowned after tree fell on him while he was on the Current River.

Ok we all knew Dave Bartholemew welllll before January. I’m guessing that none of us and I mean NONE OF US seasoned DLers had him cuz 1) we all simultaneously had a brain cramp or 2) we all simultaneously never found a legit category where he would fit. SC

Didn't we have a tet-a-tet about putting Holocaust survivors in this thread? Well whoever said not to was wrong (nowhere else to). Noémi Ban survived Nazis and then escaped Soviets before coming to St. Louis and teaching school for 17 years. Later in life, she became a respected author and lecturer about her family's ordeal during the Holocaust. Ms. Ban died June 7 after a short illness in Bellingham, Wash. She was 96. Born in 1922 in Hungary, Ms. Ban and her family were captured by invading Nazis in 1944 and shipped to the Auschwitz concentration camp — where her mother, grandmother, younger sister and baby brother were killed in the gas chambers. Ms. Ban, however, was picked as a laborer and sent to the Buchenwald camp. Later, while later being forced to march to the Bergen-Belsen camp, she was rescued by U.S. troops. She returned to Hungary and married Earnest Ban. The couple fled Hungary when the Soviets occupied the country in 1956, ending up in St. Louis in 1957. AMAZINGLY -- she has a Wiki page? smh..... I take everything back I said about Quon not getting an obit. Jesus.... smfh x100. SC

Looking for something else, came across this. Len Kirberg, civil engineer, innovative industry leader and past Chairman, CEO and President of Horner & Shifrin, Inc. from 1988 to 2004, passed away on Wednesday, June 19, 2019 at the age of 76. SC

BIG RIP to this saint. Can you imagine all the Sir Creep weans cutting about but for.... Lordy...

No, Hilda Hansen not getting a single British QO is goddamn ridiculous. Quon? Who the hell is he, some guy drew pictures (supposedly) with Walt himself and lived a long time. Was he particularly significant? I've given you his entire resume; tell me why it's ridicolous (sic) he doesn't get a QO? I found it extremely unlikely in Brit sources that he would. I find it the same for the 108 or whatever year old dame/broad/hoor who will die soon too. Working at Disney isn't some catapult to fame. Unless he/she drew 'Grumpy and Sleepy' or summat, they were nobodies. That said -- the only people guaranteed not to get a QO are the living. Still hope! PS spellcheck can be your friend. SC

If anyone thinks The Reaper has no Scruples, think again.

Daughter in Law’s father... I’d say aye. Hes the one had to pay for the wedding after all.

Don’t have link but I saw crawler on tv news some trainer not allowed at track cuz 5-6 horses of theirs died recently. Too lazy to look it up (too busy at work tbh).

Did you just distinguish Twitter from the phrase ‘social media’? Bwa ha ha ha......

I've posted about six Tuskegee Airmen over the past couple years. Wiki says they don't know how many there are remaining, but I think 35-40 is a fair guess. Anyway let the countdown begin. When they become rarer than hen's teeth we will get an accurate count. They should be in their very late 80s by now. One of the original Tuskegee Airmen, Dr. Thurston L. Gaines, Jr., died in California Saturday. He was 94. Gaines, as one of World War II's Tuskegee Airmen, was one of the United State's first black military pilots. He flew a P-51 Mustang in 1945. In April 1945, Gaines was shot down over Germany and captured. He was held in German prisons until he was liberated in June of 1945 by Gen. Patton's division. Gaines received the Congressional Gold Medal from President George W. Bush in 2007. He also received the Purple Heart.

I’ve already got eight ‘100%ers’ for 2020. I got them from my 100%ers list from 2018.

Hope all goes well @torbrexbones.

Will it count as a QO if we find a picture of him holding up the newspaper what published it?

Unless...... unless the killings suddenly STOP. then we have figured out the culprit! A 90-year old woman!
