alt obits guy

It was better when they made the doughnuts onsite instead of bringing them in frozen. I go there occasionally as I have gift cards to use up.

It appears 12 people had him, none of whom was Gerard Tierney.

Australian author Andrew McGahan dead. Just awaiting a QO.

As is the case with many others, I have Andrew McGahan in the deadpool. He'll be worth 14 points from everyone who selected him, once a QO comes down the wire. Edit: Sent off the Sydney Morning Herald obit, which will be sufficient for the hit to score.

Andrew McGahan has died. His date of death is currently listed as Friday, February 1st. He becomes the first hit in the Deathlist Cup. https://www.theage.com.au/entertainment/books/award-winning-author-andrew-mcgahan-dies-aged-52-20190202-p50v95.html

Unfortunately, it didn't. That's the one I originally sent. Waiting to hear back on a 2nd option sent, but mostly just waiting to hear that Hulka has, himself, found an obit he'll accept. Thanks for trying.

Well done!

This is certainly shaping up to be an interesting day. Fatima Ali was my third rejected alt.obituaries deadpool pick to die in January. However, that's not why I'm posting. I had Bruce Corbitt in the Deadpool. Also picked him last year. However, he is not a guarantee to get a qualifying obituary. None of the metal sites will suffice. It needs to be picked up by either the local affiliate of a U.S. national network or Billboard, which profiled the band last August. We will see.
