    Shaun's Death By Numbers 2018

    Mary Carlisle was my joker. Copied link to Telegraph obit (QO) from the Derby Dead Pool forum.

    The 7th Death of 2018

    A "wasted vote" on Dick Van Dyke, the first I drew the Death card for. But "deathy" cards seem to settle on John McCain more often than not, so my "real world vote" is for him.

    The Deathlist Poker Tournament 2018

    List with substitutes compiled and submitted. This sounds like fun and a good way to use names unlikely to see January 2019. My avatar already has the Poker Face.

    The Joker's Dead Pool 2018

    "Vanessa Goodwin. 1 point for Book, Chorizo, Dead Cow, Drol, Heef, msc, RadGuy and Torva" I see that Toast (to) has correctly been awarded a point for Goodwin. I do not have Vanessa Goodwin on my list, so I (tv) gather my 40 points tally doesn't include her, and are for Dodd, Fabray, Ford, Francis, Graham, Hawking, Miller, Nevin and Tsvangirai and assorted bonuses. You and I both see that I do not have Vanessa Goodwin on my list. I do edit my list, but only to strikeout and bold the hits gained. msc's update had a typo, I suspect, as to and tv are consecutive abbreviations, both Torva and Toast begin with To.... I am pointing out that in msc's update I had been incorrectly awarded a point that should have gone to Toast for Vanessa Goodwin; your update correctly awarded the point to Toast, so I should not have in my tally a point I didn't merit.

    The 4th Death Of 2018

    Last night my husband asked me if I have Stan Lee on my dead pool, mentioned Lee's pneumonia and the magic words "Sad Last Days" in a Montreal Gazette headline.

    Stephen Fry

    I am an admirer of Stephen Fry, and today is the anniversary of my mother's death from cancer. She was two years younger than Mr. Fry is now, and was also an admirer of his. Mr. Fry, via his Norwich address, let me know he had adapted a vegetarian diet and therefore wouldn't participate in the "Hot Ones" vodcast (odd, because Ricky Gervais and Russell Brand, both vegans, guested on "Hot Ones" and ate the no-meat spicy facsimiles, YouTube has the videos). I don't know how much Fry's vegetarian diet affects his blood sugar, but I do know that sugar is the main source of fuel for cancer cells. He should cut out soy, which mimics the female hormone oestrogen and causes testosterone in the bloodstream to convert to DHT, which is a great irritant to the prostate that can cause enlargement, inflammation, and cancer. If he doesn't adapt his diet to take in more protein from eggs and shellfish, if he's vegetarian for humane reasons, I might add him in upcoming death pools.

    The 3rd Death Of 2018

    I drew cards, and Olivia de Havilland was the first of the list to get the Death Card, although immediate ends for Tessa Jowell and Leah Bracknell were also indicated in a lesser draw.
