Joey Russ

Just sent a list using the same technique that Death Impends used last time. Of course, I doubt everyone will make the starting line on my team...

Reveals new details of his cancer battle.

Yes, it’s very good to see one of your gambles go through. Kudos for that. I was very disappointed when Cynthia Heimel didn’t get a QO...

I think this might count for a David Shutts QO.

And now spotted in a wheel chair. Think the cancer might be worse than announced...

Lol.

So I'm going to be host next year as you already know, and as I said before, I don't plan on changing the general scheme on how points are acquired or how the lists are made/received. I do wonder, however, if anyone have any suggestions for any potential minor improvements on how this can be improved for next year. The potential suggestions should be focused on quality of life changes, so no, I will not be policing what picks are or are not deathlisty (although if someone was being a smartass and send 50 very fringy names ie filled with people like Tracy McGiffin or Sara Chivers, I reserve the right the reject that list and tell them to come up with a better list). And I wonder when the full list of names picked will be released...

Small update for Jens C Skou, who has finally received a late QO. One point for all the teams who picked him apart from our defending champ, who had him in spot #5 and therefore gets a second point, as he moves to share 2nd place with drol. Here are the current scores: 1st - Torva Messor - 40 points 2nd= - Death Impends - 36 points 2nd= - drol - 36 points 3rd= - CaptainChorizo - 34 points 3rd= - The Dead Cow - 34 points 3rd= - Toast - 34 points 7th - msc - 33 points 8th - CastAway - 32 points 9th - Heef - 29 points 10th - Pedro67 - 27 points 11th - RadGuy - 26 points 12th - The Unknown Man - 22 points 13th= - Bibliogryphon - 20 points 13th= - Book - 20 points 13th= - FixedBusiness - 20 points 16th - Gooseberry Crumble - 17 points 17th - YoungWilz - 14 points Last place - Joey Russ - 10 points Also, this is a reminder that I'm retiring after this year, so if anyone wants to take over, tell me. I think the concept is great, but the execution while I'm host was poor...

I’m not sure if they count as western military or not, but the governments of Afghanistan and Pakistan say he’s dead. If only the US have revealed the name of the senior terrorist...

No idea for me...

What? I thought it was The Gipper who died in Shawshank Redemption...

I think he may be taking a vacation or something, as there’s multiple people that I thought might’ve been picked by someone such as Reinhard Hardegen and Peter Thomson...

Michael Nesmith hospitalized and tour is cancelled.

Marieke Vervoort

Eden Ahbez showed up on my discover weekly list last week. Research about him makes me think that a thread for him would’ve been a fascinating read...

Had a feeling that he wasn’t going to see July, which was why I put him as an add on for my generation game team...

We do know that she’s still alive as of 2016 per this.

She was only 46 when she died.

I’ll do 1 - 1 on the two remaining matches (too late for Denmark vs Australia).

I’m sorry. I just felt like that person today. (Now here comes all the criticism from many members that give criticism on about a monthly basis)...

I’m so sorry. I had to be that person.

Here’s something a happy thing for this thread for a change: My grandparents (the ones that I stay at on my vacation) owned a dog for six years. Neither of them really want him, so our family is now getting him. His name is Scamp, and he’s a very lovely dog. Here’s a picture of him (and yes, that is my hand petting him).

In Tom Petty’s case, his heart attack was posted in a ton of threads, so his own thread was warranted in that case...

One thing I will say is that I don’t I have ever seen many gray hairs on his head. Don’t know if that’s heavy dye use or his vegetarian diet...
