He's clinging on for dear life to that chair. But fortunately he's alive and singing, nothing ever change, woooahh woah.

Just now, Death Impends said:George Schappell was trans, Lori wasn't, and Spade ran a trans theme team that year.

@Death Impends I have George Schappell a former DDP pick last picked in 2019: https://www.derbydeadpool.co.uk/deadpool2019/celebs_S.html#schapg
And Lori Schappell last picked in 2018: https://www.derbydeadpool.co.uk/deadpool2018/celebs_S.html#schapl
I wonder why they only picked the one in 2019?
Anyhow, both List of the Missed.

6 hours ago, Imhotep said:German film and TV and voice actor Eckart Dux died April 9 2024 in Sassenburg, Germany, aged 97.
Eckart Dux is a DDP pick. Any chance he'll QO?
Quite frankly, I'd say stick him on the List of the Lost now.

1 minute ago, arghton said:Akebono dead as mentioned in the Wrestlers thread. One of the greatest sumo wrestlers of his generation, well-respected, but from what I understand local controversy (he dated a Japanese pop singer, that relationship wasn't widely accepted there) on his personal life lead to his 1990s financial trouble that caused him to get into MMA, show wrestling and kickboxing. It seems he wasn't much more than a freak show there.
Kitanofuji is still presumably in hospital with severe heart problems, completely incapacitated and will likely die any day now. It'll be interesting to see if Takamiyama Daigoro will be at Akebono's funeral as he trained him.
Wasn't Akebono's real name Chad, or something like that?

This thread is for Israelis, generally government or other officials. Discussion of Hamas or Hezbollah are for other threads. This is not the place for targets of Israel. Check the OP ffs.
Repeating for the hard of reading.

2 minutes ago, Sod's Law said:There are conspiracy theorists out there who think Elvis is still alive. I doubt Harold Wilson attracts the same kind of mystique.
Look at this stunning devil. There's been a lot of speculation about his private life for a long time. So up he pops again.

27 minutes ago, Ulitzer95 said:@YoungWillz comment here confirms O'Neale and Ellis were also still alive in 2020, living in Canada.
I'm pretty certain it's just the 2 members that are deceased then (Potter and Cresswell).I'll take your word for it, as I can't see that page.
The possibilities of these guys having gone abroad (sounds like most of them) and then dying off radar just went up! Shame they are relatively forgotten about. I wonder if the Who site meant to say "the surviving drummer"? "The" is, as they say, the definite article, if he meant to say that other band members were alive, I'd expect him to say "a surviving member".
Acht.
