    Vera Lynn

    Someone should reply to her with: "I've just learned that Dame Vera Lynn's final words were 'Путин - хуесос'"

    Dead Pop Stars

    This might be misattributed, and actually could be Mark Hollis's solo recording

    I've crushed on Hollis and loved his music since 1984. I even wrote to him. I am devastated. He died of cancer, apparently. Anyone want to see photos of his living room?

    Derby Dead Pool 2019

    One of my DDP themed lists seems to be going in alphabetical order: Carol Channing, John Cocks (no QO), and now Stanley Donen. I should have looked at the list and voted on the DL 2019 for Kirk Douglas to be the Second Death.

    By-Election Bingo 2017-22

    None of the seven MPs resigning is on my list. I don't have any expectations beyond chance; the first hit always has frisson, and nicer to know that frisson is shared with eight other players.

    By-Election Bingo 2017-22

    With about 650 MPs it's tricky to follow their fortunes from half-the-planet away. I imagined this pool is my real-life manifestation of my recurring dream of registering for a history class and forgetting to attend it until seven weeks later: my first hit while the Brits enjoy 870 points already.

    Longest dry spell I've had in a pool but I have a hit. Paul Flynn (checked thrice to confirm) MP for Newport West

    Thanks, Joey. I have Ken Nordine in my list on another website with more participants than aodeadpool.org, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I have a site-wide solo there too for points galore. He's not in the pool with 197 people playing so I have hope.

    Last week I shared an aodeadpool duet with Rosamunde Pilcher hit.

    The 2nd Death of 2019

    My first Random.org list randomizer yielded Vera Lynn at 1, Loretta Lynn at 2. I randomized again, and Vera Lynn was at 2, Loretta further down. I voted Vera Lynn. (This am I dreamed of receiving an email announcement of Gay Byrne's death. I don't have immediate recollection of choosing Byrne in any pools, nor Banks. It was interesting to me that the GB initials manifested in the dream but the name was incorrect.)

    Hares Death Pool 2019

    Paul Dewar is my wildcard hit in The Hares Death Pool

    Ozzy Osbourne

    It's only because I'm a bettor and not a doctor that I would estimate Osbourne's creatophosphokinase levels to be elevated from muscle damage. Lung damage could lead to a pulmonary embolism. High blood pressure is a contributing factor, especially if it was high enough to require hospitalization.

    The Joker's Dead Pool 2019

    If this is a motion the host is seriously considering, along with revealing the bonuses, I volunteer to randomize the team's host as I'm not participating this year and am disinterested.

    Derby Dead Pool 2019

    This is the first year I submitted multiple theme teams to the Derby Dead Pool -- the Grim Reaper's been a busy egalitarian this month, taking one each from my lists.

    The 2019 Deathlist Cup

    I submitted my team, expecting early elimination like a night-time drink of magnesium citrate.

    Prince Philip Duke Of Edinburgh

    will the Queen visit the injured survivors? "We're sorry. He should have had a driver, no question..."

    Prince Philip Duke Of Edinburgh

    My grandmother emerged "unhurt" after the car her husband was driving turned over, and died an hour later of a massive heart attack. She was a year older than Prince Charles, very fit, and had longevity genes equal to that of the Queen Mother and Queen Elizabeth II -- four of her sisters passed ninety years mark, one was a centenarian.

    Deathrace 2019

    I knew of Dorothy Morrison only from this website. "Our Gang" members typically get a QO where I am -- Mildred Kornman (aka Ricki Van Dusen) has a good chance of a qualifying obit when she passes. The Little Rascal Pro Boards contributors haven't deleted Morrison from their list of surviving "OG"/"LR" cast. I'm happy my sub comes into play.

    Deathrace 2019

    Well fudge. I should have looked at Dorothy Morrison's Wikipedia page and not just loitered about the forums. According to the page, Ms Morrison joined the choir invisible 18 October 2017.
