Yep, no doubt about it...

I thought my feeling would be wrong, but with the death of Harry Dean Stanton, that sadly is not the case...

Well, here's the mirror while waiting for the guaranteed BBC obit.

With the death of Harry Dean Stanton, Zsa Zsa is now the only one with all fifty of his selection alive.

Ah no. I loved his performance in Alien.

Yes, actually. His retrial is going to be in April.

So that's where your DDP name came from...

So, there were 3 of us who had picked Jessi Zazu at the beginning of the year: me, drol, and The Dead Cow. Then, on June 30, all 3 of us subbed her out for better picks because assumingly (at least for me) she wasn't going to obit. Well, she then died (not that surprising) but got a telegraph obit on the very first day after her death. I'm certainly ruing my bad luck here, especially since I believe she's worth more than everyone I subbed in.

I don't understand how a little known musician worldwide is able to get a telegraph obit but the second longest living ruler doesn't. That stuns me.

J P Donleavy is dead at 91. DDP pick.

Bill Pullman, is that you over there?

Yes, the link got updated in the previous post.

Herman Wouk?

It's only been 2 months since she died though. Not that long afterwards. It often takes about 6 months or so for the spouse to join their other...

Look above you next time you post.

I have a very bad feeling about this one...

No one is truly out of danger. Death can happen at anytime. A part of me feels like filming more cameos is a bad sign...

Fucking hell, I did not expect that at all. Everyone hide now, especially since she was mentioned on the forum ten days before the new year...

His manager has revealed that he has filmed at least 5 more movie cameos for future films.

Reveals he had battled lung cancer, which has been removed by surgery.

It is. That comment was more on not expecting to lead for 4 months I think?? Anyways, I'm happy with that achievement. It'll help me hopefully reach even better dead pooling goals in the future... EDIT: I was briefly leading in Sean's dead pool as well, but lost that due to a few list of the losters. Probably should've worded it better tbh...

Yeah, I have never been in the lead of a dead pool for so long, so that may be why I was talking about it a lot. I'm sure when I've been in the lead more often, I probably won't talk about it as much, if at all. If you want my opinion, unless one of my picks that aren't on lots of teams die soon, I won't be able to gain the lead back again this year. I still believe I got a few hits left this year, but that won't be enough for me to gain back the lead. To be more precise, I'm thinking The Unknown Man could be a dark horse in this competition...

To be fair, all the major DDP veterans will look like one as well if she receives an obit.

You were waiting for me to lose my lead to start your title defense, weren't you?

Yep, I'm out of the lead now. I know this because one team (won't name who for surprise) got two hits back to back, and they were already pretty high anyways. Ah well, I'm surprised I lasted as long as I did in the lead...
