Joey Russ

Gonna have to find another replacement...

Sadly the answer is no...

NASA confirms his death. RIP...

Well, I started my Summer 2018 playlist a few days ago. Let's see what I got on it so far... You've Got A Friend - Carole King Time Is The Enemy - Quantic New Slang - The Shins Cowgirl In The Sand - Annie Keating When The Music's Over - The Doors Every Word Means No - Let's Active Long Time Gone - Crosby, Stills, and Nash I'm A Loser - The Beatles And from my most recent post on this thread, Farewell Transmission - Songs: Ohia Really think these are all great songs...

One phrase that I absolutely dislike and can go fuck itself is being politically correct. It’s always used for stuff that people don’t like, which bugs the hell out of me so much. Just say you don’t agree with their political positions for fuck’s sake...

Strangely enough, the only person who's still alive from the people you named is Sumner Redstone. Might be a good time to start giving gcreptile his points...

Replaced Bain and Francis with Bruce Anstey and Claire Wineland (both have a Wiki page, I checked before I picked them)...

Just realized that if Vervoort dies by euthanasia and she's the next hit on my team (although I don't think that's likely to happen), then I would've beaten my point record from last year by one point. I agree with gcreptile, I think generally the overall quality of all the teams have improved from last year, and I think it's going to be quite hard to call a winner at this stage of the game. Reckon we won't know the most likely winner till around November/December, when the year comes to a close...

Interestingly, only three of my non drop 40 picks are still alive, Matt Cappotelli (who’s probably a goner any day now) and the last two major gambles on my team, which are John Cocks and Stuart Fraser...

I hope he gets an obit, two other of his gambles didn't work, so surely this one has to work, right?

OUT: Paul Gascoigne Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi IN: Steffan Lewis Marieke Vervoort

He even got a legitimate BBC obit and not one from newsbeat...

It’s weird that two people that I had written off as not this year earlier this year went from nope to almost sure thing to dead in the span of a month...

If no one younger goes, he would get the end of the year bonus for the youngest pick that year... EDIT: Congrats on going back into the lead as well.

Really love this song by them: They are a band that I should definitely listen to more...

Er, I thought Tessa Jowell was only worth 350 points for me since I had her at #4, not 450 (which is the #2 spot). Obviously I want to win, but I also want to win fairly and not win by a mistake...

TotalBiscuit is now dead. Next transition is tomorrow...

Yeah, successful enough to only last another week...

Not the number 1 pick since he's not alive in a month...

Expected to turn himself in to the NYPD.

Bessie Cam's long awaited obit finally brings me to 28/66. It'll probably be a while till I get a clean sweep especially with some god awful baby boomers...

Off topic question, but is there a reason why the nuns tag is red? Other tags that don't have the dead tag are in black, so I don't see why this one needs to be any different...

Not really sure he deserves his own thread. At least with John Bain, he's is very influential in his specialty. With Cappotelli, while he's probably going quite soon, he didn't really have that much of a career...

I think with his influence in the gaming scene in the modern era, I could see (albeit with a very small chance) him on the list. Though, he won't make 2019, that's almost for certain...

Ah, the abusive message he sent me makes sense now.
