Joey Russ

If he was indeed picked in the DDP, he gets a mention in this BBC article

What the fuck are you on about? It’s January 10th. We’re not even halfway through the month yet. Chill

It’s been Five Years (what a surprise) since David Bowie became a Blackstar at 69.

Yeah, it got disproved

Oh, did Frank Ifield make the drop 40 this time?

Hi, there is a website called the Doug Stanhope Celebrity Death Pool, and basically you register an account, find some pools to join and pick 20 celebrities on the database. (Although the pool I’m hosting is invite only so I need your username if you want to join the Deathlist’s pool)

For anyone else wanting to join there's about a week left before the pool begins and no more entrants can enter it

Anyone had country singer songwriter Jamie O’Hara as a potential cup pick in February? Too bad, he’s dead

He basically conceded:

An Fear Beag JiroemonKimura* Clorox Bleachman* CaptainChorizo DeathByArsenic Grim Up North* msc Deadsox YoungWillz* Torva Messor* Sir Creep* Grobler* Banana Book Quim Reaper DevonDeathTrip HDS* Spade_Cooley Maryportfuncity Wormfarmer Theoldlady John Key* Gcreptile* Joey Russ The_engineer* Alt obits guy Fixed Business* Etushispushingupthedaisies* Bibliogryphon YorkshireBanker DjembaDjemba * Annami LizLemon* Sean* The Old Crem Markb4 The Unknown Man* Great Uncle Bulgaria Joemoneypenny* This is the bye list for this upcoming cup. Names with an asterisk by a name are those who have yet to enter the cup (so if you intend to enter in the cup, please state your intention to play, which I assume at least @Sir Creep intends to do). As it stands, the cup will end in June due to only 28 names entered in the cup. However, there is still time to enter in the cup so it's unlikely that it stays 32 or under. Oh, and regardless of how many people entered these folk will play in the cup in February regardless of how many enter in this time due to not competing in the 2020 cup: Perhaps Gooseberry Crumble nantonian2013 Charles De Gaulle ThereWillBeDeaths7 CalebH xXConmanXx

Please keep in mind cup players that every single one of these names and every other pick who is determined to be FFBI will not be acceptable picks for the cup. Anyone trying to sneak one of those names through will face massive scrutiny.

Is now the world’s richest person

I think you misread that. The last line is the percentage of those who believe in election fraud that supported the attacks on the capital yesterday, not the percentage of those who believe in the election fraud itself.

This might be a bit problematic...

Oh shut the fuck up about rehabilitating George W Bush. He needs absolutely no rehabilitation at all regardless of how fucking awful Trump is.

Seems like she’s dead:

Doesn't mean that it isn't relevant.

The Onion never misses:

I guess the committee isn’t completely shite after all

Announces a new album coming out:

In case others want to join before the deadline, the pool begins January 15th in which case the room then closes for any other entries to join. Remember that you need to tell me your username to get invited, as the pool is not searchable on the site. Also for those of you debuting for the first time, I think it needs to be known that the celebrity database is, er, interesting. IE there’s many names that aren’t on the database that you might find surprising. You can try to add new celebrities to the database but my experience is that 95% of the names you try to add ultimately ended getting rejected. So don’t get your hopes up that one of your new names could get added on to the database...

Independent obit

Oh don’t worry, if there ever was a situation like that to occur I would allow it to go farther until the next, but as it stands we never had a situation like that before.
