Andy Fletcher dead:

Oh well, time to post the evergreen headline again:

Yeah, so he has an aggressive form of brain cancer, so he's definitely a very good candidate for next year I think. Felt like he needed his own thread, and I try to limit the amount of threads I make, but it's too tempting this time, so here we are...

As per usual, Jimmy Carter

Says video unavailable on my end

So glad that bridesmaid status in this pool is gone for me now.

I can understand your confusion but the US politician that was on the Deathlist was some no name senator from South Dakota

When is the final update coming?

Ah yes, clearly was a shooting victim of the Russian Ukraine war

Tbh, the last few weeks I thought she would end up dying before Phelan as the latter seems at least a bit stable for the time being whereas James just seems to be going through way too much

Yeah, there’s plenty of 120+ claimants, and they’re all pretty much bullshit

Stanislau Shuskevich is a hit for me

Just realized Lester Michael Henry and Mike Henry are counted as two separate entries when they are in fact the same person. One unique gone but oh well, wasn’t anticipating an amazing score at all…

For Alan Dean Foster it was mentioned near the end of 2020 that he was struggling with cancer. However the reason I picked him was because he used to be doing monthly blogs and recently it quit showing updates (just checked the site and apparently the blog was updated on April 17th but it’s not showing what that blog update is at all). Admittedly, he’s my replacement for Raiola not making the starting line and I could see him living a few more months, but I think he’s on borrowed time. As for Mike Henry, he’s a longtime Jamaican parliamentarian and there were tweets about him being gravely ill, so given a weak month onto my team he went.

That’s everybody groaning about their cup lineup getting ruined…

Harris is an awful choice though. She didn’t even make it to the Iowa caucus last time, not entirely sure if she will actually make it any farther because she’s such an obvious phony

Tbh, he doesn’t look that different in those photos. Biggest change is probably the hairline more than anything else

I honestly can understand msc’s wrath at Ronnie Hellstrom not getting a QO at this point

If it makes you feel better I likely would’ve picked her as well. Those last few photos looked a bit, er, grim

What point are you trying to make? This is as pointless of a statement as announcing that you need to go to the bathroom on the forums.

Guy Lafleur QO

I think the Parkinson’s rumors are far more likely than all those terminal cancer rumors

Not picked in the DDP so not why he’s posted here

I saw an article last month that seemed extremely grim, hence why I picked him for this month’s cup team
