It wasn't just the eggs and ham that went green as Dr Seuss died aged 87, 27 years ago today. [There was a problem uploading the file. I'll try inserting the picture again later.]

It's got an odd sort of structure to it, but it's utterly striking.

Who the fuck else?

James Marshall Hendrix left to kiss the sky on this day 48 years ago, aged appropriately to be a founding member of a certain club.

Yeah brilliant. Busted.

Well fucking get away. It's not like you to be all surreal and whimsical.

Matt can go and suck on his own mum's tits if he thinks I'm wearing that dress to the Grim Reaper's wedding. Bridesmaid or not, it's so not my colour.

Yes. In an ever so slightly calmer fashion.

That's no way to die.

Think I'm on the list now, having deflated my lungs trying to read this as one sentence.

Maybe we could suggest an annual 'Why The Hell Did You Do That?' Award, worth 0.5pts?

Marc Bolan, off of T. Rex, became extinct on this day 41 years ago, aged 29.

Anne'll go first. Kirk's going to outlive Michael. *cue link to obituary

Fucking TUNE.

To be fair, that's very much arguable.

Leah fucking Bracknell

So is this designed to be a Shocking Deaths - Greatest Hits album, to run alongside a thread for every single genre of celebrity?

Was just idly scrolling through the forums and had a bit of a DL history lesson; Some of the threads from 2004 are fucking hilarious! I was choking half to death at the Emlyn Hughes Ranters Thread, full of irate, unappreciative guests such as this charming lot: Wonder why we don't let guests post anymore?

Good call. I've heard he's getting forgetful nowadays.

'ite mate. We've been waiting for you. I'm no seasoned veteran/multitwunt yet, but my understanding is that there's an unwritten common sense checklist: will we know who they are? What's the state of their lifestyle/current health/age? If they're just old, are they really old (nonagenarian plus) and/or suddenly quiet? Will @Cat O'Falk diligently link me to a thread that's already been made? I dunno, I just let other people do all that. I'm just here for a laugh and to shout at Leah Bracknell for proving my predictions wrong over and over. Enjoy!

Very pleased the worst of it is over, and wish her a speedy recovery. Now get some sleep man!
