Doesn’t really matter though, Everton Weekes scores once again for Book

BBC obit

This aged quite well...

Definitely the highest so far. The closest to 2020’s midway total is 2008 with 9 hits by this point.

The finals begin with a bang as one of the shared picks between the finalists scores. And it might be one of the most famous hits in competitive play too as Ratzinger was the brother of Pope Benedict. As such, the match is still effectively the same place as yesterday despite now being some scores... 1. Death Impends vs An Fear Beag 3 - 3

A recent article from The Sun on Mel Gibson, which briefly mentions the fact that Hutton Gibson died

Out of curiosity, are we waiting for some queries from a couple of folk, or is it just putting together the masterlist?

Finals Masterlist: Bullet Bob Armstrong - Death Impends Frankie Banali - Death Impends Susan Bayh - Death Impends Bishnu Das - An Fear Beag Krsnanandini Devi Dasi - Death Impends Derek Draper - Death Impends Ahmed Gohar - An Fear Beag Asel Kadyrbekova - An Fear Beag Gail Klock - Death Impends, An Fear Beag Abdallah Meshref - An Fear Beag Arthur Neto - An Fear Beag Tommy Palmer - Death Impends*, An Fear Beag Abdel Rahim Ali - An Fear Beag Georg Ratzinger - Death Impends, An Fear Beag Deepa Sahu - An Fear Beag Dingko Singh - Death Impends Bhakti Charu Swami - Death Impends, An Fear Beag* Alex Zanardi - Death Impends

As a bit of a treat before the official match begins, they only share 4 names in total, and with those names only two are worth the exact same point total (while they share two other picks one of them does have a joker advantage on those two names). Should be interesting times ahead...

So Chorizo gets bronze then.

As I stress about whether our two finalists will send in a team or not, everyone in the semis get 3 free points due to Killer Tim’s demise. Might make the July teams more interesting... if they come, that is. 1. An Fear Beag vs Clorox 14 - 10 2. Death Impends vs JiroemonKimura 7 - 7

The cancer swallowed his soul in then.

Seems like the oldest debutant on the list means it’s time to prepare an obituary for them. Indeed, the last time the oldest debutant didn’t die was back in 2013!

Who are you, and what did you do to the Grim Reaper?

Curse of the oldest debutant strikes again. Sad news though. RIP to him

Variety obit. Well done @RoverAndOut

Cross posting this here.

Looks like Johnny Mandel is dead. If true, I think Scavenger Hunt finally finishes after a long wait.

Fuck it, I'm posting early. OUT: Teri Garr Arthur Hall Michael McKevitt Sinisa Mihajlovic Peter Schjeldahl IN: George Alagiah Nick Cordero Derek Draper David Hagen Alex Zanardi Sub: Michael Cullen

Bloody hell, it’s transition day already? Time really does fly...

So far none of my picks who I dropped this year have died, but in last year’s competition dropping Jose Jose and Clive James was pretty annoying (I also dropped Stuart Fraser but he didn’t score last year, so not quite as annoying). Though even if both of them came back I still would’ve ended up 3 points short of the title anyways...

Well, Benny Mardones has died
