    Kim Jong-Un

    In the whole year only a North Korean person, Kim Jong-nam, has died. That either means no one dies there or the regime keeps deaths secret. I'll go with the latter.

    Hollywood Possibilities

    After Rance Howard's death I wondered how many Cool Hand Luke actors were still alive as Kennedy, Davalos, Stanton, James and Howard have all died in a year and a half. So here is the list, which is rather short: *Joy Harmon (1940), played Lucille, the girl. *Lou Antonio (1934), played Koko. *Anthony Zerbe (1936), played Dog Boy. *Joe Don Baker (1936), played Fixer. It is interesting to see how many cast members have died since 2010: Dennis Hopper (29 May 2010, aged 74) Luke Askew (29 March 2012, aged 80) Ralph Waite (13 February 2014, aged 85) Wayne Rogers (31 December 2015, aged 82) George Kennedy (28 February 2016, aged 91) Richard Davalos (8 March 2016, aged 85) Buck Kartalian (24 May 2016, aged 93) Clifton James (15 April 2017, aged 96) Harry Dean Stanton (15 September 2017, aged 91) Charles Tyner (8 November 2017, aged 92) Rance Howard (25 November 2017, aged 89) Morgan Woodward (22 February 2019, aged 93)

    Room 101

    Some years ago I had thirteen cats and a neighbour poisoned all of them in a two/three days, except one (the one who is still with me). No proof against the bastard but he kows I know. Anyway this time it seems the cat was not poisoned, just had a heart attack or something like that.

    I'm sorry but Jean of Luxembourg is already picked. You have to pick another name.

    Well, I still have another cat, 11-year old, which seems to be in fairly good health. The cat I lost was only three and passed away suddenly. It was vey affectionate and fond, did not remember it sorting out its claws. Life goes on.

    Who Should Be On The 2018 Deathlist?

    Honor Blackman and Leslie Phillips are pretty famous, but Jill Gascoine is almost unknown outside England. Delon is faaaar more famous than her.

    Authors Last A Long Time, But....

    Yes, Bucket of Bloood is going to finish fifth and if everything stays this way I'm finishing sixth. The difference between BoB and Drollercoaster was the latter's inabilty to cash in the joker, which doomed my possibilities to make the top five. Anyway it would be a good result, expecially for a debut.

    Here is what I think about definitive picks: 1)King Michael: three weeks ago we all believed he was fucked. Though he is still with us he has a great probability of dying before 2018, anyway it does not seem imminent anymore. I'd say he has very good chances. 2)Bob Newhart. Only old and not so much. It would be an incredibly lucky strike to score with him. Very little chances 3)Rabbi Einhorn. Cranky old, but not much more. I'd say little/normal chances, but knowing Spade he'll be dead by tomorrow. 4)Wilson Harris: Incredibly old, but no known illnesses. Lucky strike needed here. Little chances. 5)Ami Brown: She was on her deathbed a month ago. Her hour must be very near. Excellent chances. 6)Carol Channing: Old good health sufferer. Very very lucky strike needed. Little chance. 7)Peter Overton. Oh, terminally ill from May. Very good chances 8)Lucia Hiriart. Old and fat but not in immediate danger. Seems a bit random. Very little chances. 9)Shane McGowan: Always ill but again he is not on the menu this year it seems. Little chances. 10)Nobby Stiles. Yes, he is going away and soon as he is spending his days sleeping in a nursing home for the terminally ill. Very good chances. 11)Naryan Dutt Tiwari: Old and suffered a stroke, but it has been a month since it happened. Still Good Chances. 12)Franco Zeffirelli: Ok, he is ill and old, but not so ill. He made some appearances recently so he seems to be heading for 2018. Little chances. 13)Valerie Harper: Not likely. She has cancer, but is still working. I think December is out of question. Very little chances. 14)Billy Graham. Oh, come on, he is just eternal. Little Chance. 15)Andrew Apostoli: Unknown, but very ill as I can understand. Very good/excellent chances. 16)Johnny Halliday. Very ill but seems a lock for 2018. Medium chances. 17)Leslie Phillips: Oh, he is still alive. How the hell? Medium chances- 18)Patrick Cryne: He has been terminally ill for a long time, but many already wrote his name on 2018 list. Good Chances. 19)Bill Lucas. Just old, but could be a surprise. Little Chance- 20)Leah Bracknell: From a rational point of view she is fucked, but from a yoga/ new age point of view she is perfectly fine. So only Good Chances. 21)Marsha Hunt. Only old, but still fit. Dim chances. 22)Mark E. Smith: He is clearly ill, but not on his deathbed. Discreet chances. 23)Rayya Elias: Same as Leah Bracknell. Good Chances. 24) Quen Elizabeth II. Impossible. 25)Vanessa Goodwin: Yes, really on the clock. Excellent chances. So it is between Ami Brown, Vanessa Goodwin and Andrew Apostoli. Anyone else would be a surprise, you decide if big or small.

    Ok. I guess she is a child star who lives in Hollywood, backed by Disney's. Yes, the prediction is pretty accurate then.
