Former Minnesota sports journalist and past Deathrace pick for me Sid Hartman is dead at 100

Former Zambian President Rupiah Banda has been diagnosed with colon cancer

Country singer Johnny Bush is dead at 85

Gonna wait for an obit to show up to mark her as dead, but if true the crowdsource list would be at 20! (And don’t worry, I’ll catch up on obits too, I promise. Just been struggling a bit recently)

And the one who isn’t turning 80 next year Chip Hawkes has battled cancer before iirc, so might be one to watch for the next few years...

Sweet:

He quoted a satire site, LMAO:

So are BBC Music pages allowed then?

Dianne Feinstein. What a pathetic joke she really is. This says it all. There really needs to be a way to recall senators when they don’t even fight.

That’s a lot of Shit he went through them, isn’t it?

And he would’ve QO’d!!!

Seems like Bhanu Athaiya is dead

That’s nice. Definitely not fishy at all...

If my math is correct there’s only 3 hits so far. Quite underwhelming (there’s really a few names like Gulpilil that really should be dead now)

In honor of our favorite ‘centrist’ who claims that Trump just makes mistakes and the left wanted Biden to be the Democratic nominee, I present to you this thread. So if you want to continuously post some intentional bad takes and don’t give a fuck about how others respond, this is the thread for you.

Mail obit

Wanted to see how this has done a few months after the pool ended. If I did my math correctly my score is 217. I don’t know if I would still be in the lead today though, but I’m quite impressed with how it’s done so far...

So far from my list I can see Robert Graetz, Lee Kerslake, Roberta McCain, Stanley Crouch, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Pat Smullen, Arthur Ashkin, and most importantly William H Gates. So that’s 8 so far from my past dead pool survivors. Don’t think I’ll win, but it’ll be interesting to see where it ends up at...

Ah yes, add Noel Gallagher from Oasis to the bunch

I heard that Herman Cain was a Covid denier. I should check up on him these days to make sure he’s okay...

Fascinating. October 10th (the day Vasili Kulkov died) only has 7 names mentioned. And if you remove the red links, it goes down to 5. The most deathless day in a while?

Can say I’m definitely looking forward to not having to roll my eyes every time someone puts her on a crowdsourced entry. No offense to those who picked her, but she really doesn’t fit the description of Deathlisty at all. Perhaps even less so than Bill Gates Sr...

OLIVIA'S GONE WITH THE WIND 14/50 26th July 2020 Hollywood Icon Olivia de Havilland has died at the ripe old age of 104 to bring another score to the Crowdsource list. Olivia was among the last of the A List actors and actresses from the Golden Age of Hollywood. Her screen career began on the 1935 film A Midsummer's Night Dream, and since that film she appeared in many classics afterwards. It was the 1938 classic The Adventures of Robin Hood that really launched her career, She appeared alongside Errol Flynn in that film and began the tradition of Flynn and De Havilland being one of Hollywood's most exciting on screen couples. Despite that distinction though, the two of them never actually pursued a relationship, though Olivia did admit she did have some attraction to Errol. Her best known role was with the 1939 classic Gone With The Wind, where she portrayed Melanie Hamilton in the film. Things went downturn from there, where she got multiple suspensions from the Warner Brothers for not following her contract, and then getting an additional 6 months due to those suspensions. She eventually got released from the contract however. Her film output gradually slowed down, where she eventually had one last television performance in 1988 before she retired for good. For many years she seemed more healthier than her A List contemporaries of her generation like Kirk Douglas and Vera Lynn, and though she did outlive both of them, she did not last too long afterwards. Still, she was making her 5th appearance on the list, and her 2nd top 10 appearance.
